POOR MANS LASAGNA

For starters I'm not a professional food photographer..I do my best with my tiny digital camera so this is all I can do to share this yummy with you..

1 jar of any Spaghetti sauce or make your own sauce

1lbs hamburger meat

1 cup Cheddar cheese

4 Tbls Parmesan cheese

1 16 oz container cottage cheese

3 medium eggs or 2 large eggs

1 tsp Italian spice

3 Tbls parsley flakes

1/2 cup diced onion

salt and pepper to taste

10-12 Lasagna Noodles uncooked

Fry hamburger meat,onion,Italian spices,salt and pepper to taste in a fry pan. Then mix together in medium size bowl cottage cheese,Cheddar cheese,Parmesan cheese,parsley flakes,salt and pepper to taste and eggs. set aside. Begin your lasagna layers by adding a small coating of spaghetti sauce to the 8x8 glass baking pan then layer uncooked lasagna noodles on top add hamburger mixture then cheese mixture then noodles,some more sauce hamburger mixture,cheese mixture,noodles and then sauce you should have two very thick layers make sure you end with noodles and sauce. Cover with tin foil and bake in oven at 350 for 1 hour. Take out of oven remove foil let sit for at least 20 to 30 minutes to set up so it won't sog out on the plate. Serve with a nice green tossed salad. YUMMY..

now because of budget this is a cheap way to make Lasagna and truth is you won't even know the difference really. I like mine with 7 different kinds of cheeses and no meat but to get the volume to this I added meat and when I fried the meat I fried it in big chunks. I really thought it was going to taste something awful but low and behold I was extra surprised it came out good. Really super good..You must try..I dare you..

Cute Shaped Cards

These are so cute..if you want the patterns go to paperwishes.com and they have videos and the downloads for these patterns..way cute..I used an array of papers,Doodle bug paper,lasting impressions,TAC,Papertrey Ink polka dots,DCWV and my minds eye. The birthday stamp is from TAC it's from the chicken scratch collection..They took me awhile to do because they are paper pieced and the papers were not easy for me to coordinate but I did my best. Next time I make the bday gift card I won't use the strips for the base it just doesn't look that good..but I tried that all that matters..good luck..feel free to leave an email for me if you want the web site..

Bake potatoes until cooked. Let cool then cut into cubes put in large bowl add broken bacon pieces and finely chopped chives,salt and pepper and sour cream..stir all together let sit in fridge for at least an hour..This is also served warm and very good cold or warm..

Crayon Resist Card

This was not easy to do not for me it's my first try at crayon resist and glossy paper. I like it's untidiness and the fact I smeared the ink by accident not enough gold so I used a piece of grosgrain ribbon to fix that..I used a piece of glossy photo paper and stampin up ink spots with a ginak design flower stamp. the sentiment is from TAC (The Angel Company). I'm a sales rep for TAC if you'd like to order from me. I've not posted much the past few weeks been sort of Craft dead. But today I'm actually making scrapbook pages for my 8x8 outdoor album.. I hope everyone had a very nice 4th of July..We had a fest at my house. Next I'll post a recipe that I did on my own for a baked potato picnic salad...Have a Great Day!!!
