Oopps, I Did It Again!

I could not help myself. I made the Skillet Apple Pie again. Yep! We celebrated Lindsey's birthday, and of course we have to have chocolate for her, but I knew neither of my son in laws care for chocolate, so since the apple pie was a really big hit when I made it the first time, I did it again!

And it was a hit this time around, too! You have to bake this - easy and delicious!

I guess I got the dessert before the main dish.....not a bad thing, but this is what we had for the birthday dinner: Spinach Lasagna Rolls, Italian Salad, Garlic bread, and the desserts.

9 lasagna noodles, cooked according to box directions

10 oz. frozen chopped spinached, thawed & drained

15 oz. fat free ricotta cheese

1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese

1 egg

salt & pepper

32 oz. tomato sauce

9 TBSP (about 3 oz.) part skim mozzarella cheese, shreded

Preheat oven to 350. Combine spinach, ricotta, Parmesan, egg, salt & pepper in a medium bowl. Ladle about 1 cup sauce on the bottom of 9X12 dish.

Place a piece of wax paper on counter & lay out lasagna noodles. make sure noodles are dry. Take 1/3 cup of ricotta mixture & spread evenly over noodle. Roll carefully & place seam side down onto baking dish. Repeat with remaining noodles.

Ladle with remaining noodles.

Ladle sauce over noodles in baking dish & top each one with 1 TBSP mozzarella cheese. Put foil over dish & bake 40 minutes.

To serve, ladle a little sauce on plate & top with lasagna roll.

The cake was a Weight Watchers recipe so that was a good. Chocolate, served with whipped cream. It was really good! Just ask my little helper!

Diet Soda Cake

1 dry box cake mix

10 oz. diet soda

2 egg whites

Preheat oven to temp. on box. Spray 9X13 pan.

Mix cake mix, diet soda, and egg whites. Pour into pan. Bake as directed on box. Use the toothpick test to know if done. Cool 10 minutes. Serve with a dollop of fat-free whip cream.

I used a chocolate cake mix and diet cherry 7 - Up. Use whatever combination sounds good to you.

Happy Birthday, Love

My sweet, crazy hubby had a birthday, so, of course, I had to make him something to express to him how much I love him! I have seen different version of "Love Notes" on Pinterest and Debbie Lanning told me about one she saw and that prompted my decision to make my "Love Note" for my Hankster. I wrote a little love note on it for him to find first thing the morning of his birthday. And a new one each day since. I found the picture frame at Big Lots. It is a 5x7 plastic frame. It was l.25. I think it would look better in a pretty decorative frame out of wood, but my budget is small. BUT I will keep my eyes open for something I like better at thrift stores and change it out once I make the find. Then I found the scrapbook paper at Michaels for .29. The dry erase pen was from Big Lots for 1.00. So looks like I spent under 3.00! I don't know if you can tell from the picture, but I wrote with a Sharpie on the paper I (heart) you beca...

Christmas! I Love Christmas!

I absolutely love everything about the Christmas season. There are so many ways we can celebrate Jesus, our Saviour with our friends, our family, and our community. I want to share with you what has been going on in my little world. For Thanksgiving all our kids were here with us and the day after Thanksgiving the girls and I made wreaths from the grapevines in our yard, collected pinecones and painted some of them. We painted - we started preparing for our celebrations. Fun stuff. One evening we went to the boat parade. Lots of pretty lights, fun decorated boats. and cold weather! Yes, it was coat and mitten weather in Florida! At Bayou George Christian Church, we ladies had our own awesome start of the Christmas season. We worshipped together, led by Faye and Libby. We invited Panama City Christian Church and Eastside Christian Church ladies to join our "Christmas Gathering" and we had 38 beautiful women! It was su...
