Chicken and Green Olives

Happy Monday! I know it has been ages since my last post. I recently started a new job and with so many new things to learn, I had less time for blogging. Boo! Never fear though, I am back with a delicious new recipe!


Chicken and Green Olives
        2 c. of cooked, shredded chicken breast
        1 jar of marinara sauce
        1 box of linguine pasta, cooked
        1/2 jar of green olives

DIRECTIONS:  Combine prepared ingredients and serve! I cooked my chicken breast in chicken broth in a crock pot all day and then, it shredded easily.

M and I both love this recipe! Plus, it is a bonus that it is so easy to make!

Lasagna Roll-Ups

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. :)
