Lasagna Roll-Ups

Labels: , ,
Oh, Pinterest! Yes, I do love you and all your inspiration - case in point, these Lasagna Roll-Ups.


I had a pound of ground Italian turkey sausage that M had found on his last solo mission to the grocery store so I modified the recipe a bit to win some brownie points. :)


          Lasagna Roll-Ups
        8 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
        1 lb. ground Italian turkey sausage, cooked
        1 c. ricotta cheese
        1 c. of Prego spaghetti sauce
        1 c. of petite diced tomatoes
        1/4 c. of milk
        1/4 tsp. of red pepper flakes
        1 c. shredded mozzarella, divided

DIRECTIONS:
  • Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees. Spray a 9x9 baking dish with cooking spray.
  • In a medium bowl,  combine sausage, cheeses, milk, and pepper. In a small bowl, combine spaghetti sauce and diced tomatoes.
  • Spread 1 c. of the spaghetti sauce mixture in the bottom of the baking dish.
  • Spread the meat mixture evenly among the lasagna noodles. Roll the noodles jelly-roll fashion and place seam-side down in the baking dish. Top with mozzarella.
  • Cover. Bake for 35 minutes or until hot.

It was delicious! I asked M "Would you like me to make this again?" His response? "H*ll yeah!" So, I guess we have our answer. :)

Bike on the High Trestle

Labels: , , ,
On Saturday morning, M and I put the bikes on the back of the truck and drove 20 minutes north to Woodward, IA, to bike on the High Trestle Trail.

The trail is famous for it's 13-story and 1/2 mile long bridge over the Des Moines River, located between Woodward and Madrid.


It was a beautiful summer day and we biked the most popular stretch of trail from Woodward to Madrid- about 12 miles round trip.


At the 6 mile mark in Madrid, we parked the bikes outside of The Flat Tire Lounge in order to quench our thirst with some Summer Shandy's.

I am so sad that summer is slipping away from us - the unspeakable season is looming. :(
