Tonight's supper

Lasagna made with leftovers.

-box of lasagna noodles
-tub of cottage cheese

leftovers
-1/2 bottle tomato juice
-shredded cheddar cheese
-shredded chicken from freezer
-leftover salsa someone made for us
-bread crumbs
-a tablespoon splenda for sauce
to take out tomato bitiness.

Since I don't have a spaghetti sauce
I think I will boil the tomato juice
and add a little cornstarch mixed with
water to thicken it then add in
some salsa or canned tomatoes to make
it chunky. Will season with garlic
& Italian(Tuscan)seasoning.

Grease casserole dish. I boil my noodles
before hand. Layer in dish with chicken,
sauce, cottage cheese and cheddar cheese
in whatever order you want.

Top lasagna with:

Toss together 1/2 cup bread crumbs
(or ritz cracker crumbs) with 1 tablespoon
melted butter. Sprinkle over
top layer of cheese.

Dessert:

1 can of sliced peaches, cut up
1 can pineapple bits
1 large box vanilla pudding
1/2 tub cool whip
1/2-1 teaspoon cinnamon

Mix everything together including
juice from cans and chill
in fridge.

Got a free Dewalt drill today
with 2 batteries and a charger!
My brother gave my step-dad
his old drill and these got passed
on to us.
Now momma's got a new drill to
play with, lol!

6:30PM

Got lasagnas made and got one
in the oven. I had enough
leftover ingredients from
making the one lasagna that
I threw another one together
for the freezer :0)

My saying is try to make do
with what you have. You don't
have to follow recipes exactly.
How do you think those recipes
got created in the first place,
it was because people were throwing
together stuff.

This would be fun to go see.
I think the kids would get a
kick out of it.
I didn't know about it til
today so only made a suggestion
about doing it to Tony.
We'll see.
