Weekend Recap

Image
It's Sunday. My son slept over at his grandparents' house last night. My husband left for work early this morning. And I've been up since 5:30. On my morning to sleep in. Go figure. I guess I'm rested enough with about 7 straight hours of sleep. That never happens, since my 2 year-old still wakes up during the night. I did lounge in bed until 6, but then I gave up. Made some coffee, had some waffles, took the dog out, and played on FarmVille. A nice, quiet morning to myself. Now, I've got some laundry going and I'll be putting supper in the crock pot shortly. I'm making Sunday Chicken, a favorite recipe from my "101 Things to do with a Slow Cooker" cook book. Try it. You'll love it! We're having it with mashed potatoes & steamed veggies.

Spinach & Sausage Lasagna

My husband was out of town for a few days on a hunting trip. I generally don't bother cooking for just my son & I. He's a picky toddler, so quick things like grilled cheese & chicken nuggets are always a winner. But last night, I felt the need for a good home-cooked meal. So, I called up my parents (& brother & his girlfriend) to see if they'd be interested in trying a spinach & sausage lasagna. Of course, they were, so I threw this together & went over to their house. The food & the company was great, and Owen got some playtime with his grandparents. I got this recipe from my mother-in-law. I hope you enjoy it as much as we all do! Wish I'd thought to take a picture, but it's all gone. :) Spinach & Sausage Lasagna 12 lasagna noodles 1 LB ground sausage 10 oz chopped frozen spinach 17 oz jar Alfredo sauce salt & pepper to taste 1 egg 2 c grated cheddar 15 oz ricotta cheese 1/2 c Parmesan cheese 1 c grate...
