Yummy Veggie Lasagna Roll-Ups



This was a yummy way to pack some serious veggies into a meal - it is a little more work than most meals but so much fun and totally worth it!
  • Approximately 12 wheat lasagna noodles
  • 1 jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce
  • 1 zucchini
  • 1 squash
  • 1 head broccoli florets
  • 4 large carrots
  • 2 cups mozzarella cheese
  • 1 1/2 cups grated parmesan cheese
  • 1 small container ricotta cheese
  • cheesecloth
  • salt 'n' peppa and garlic and onion powder to taste
In food processor shred (together or separate) zucchini, squash and carrots. Once shredded wrap in cheesecloth and squeeze excess water out. In a large container add ricotta, 1 cup of mozzarella and 1/2 cup parmesan, shredded veggies and broccoli. Lay out lasagna noodle and spread cheese/veggie mixture on the noodle. Roll up and place in a cake pan slightly lined with spaghetti sauce. Cover the roll-ups with remaining sauce and mozzarella cheese, sprinkle with additional parmesan cheese. Cover with foil and bake at 350 for 30 minutes, remove foil and bake for an additional 5-10 minutes.

Enjoy!

Our Giveaway Winner....

And the winner is: GINA JENSEN!!! Congratulations to the ONE AND ONLY person who actually left us an e-mail. Here is what she wrote:
I LOVED the veggie fajitas! It was also the first time that I have actually cooked onions instead of using dried minced. You know me and my onion crying. Yes, I was bawling my eyes out while making them, but it was worth it. We added a 1/2 lb plain ground turkey that was already cooked up and it was good in there too. It will definitely be going in my permanent recipe book!
When you called me that night asking about the Fajitas, you inspired my sister and I to make them as well, and we had so much that they were eaten as leftovers for days!! They are so yummy. So, Since Gina was the only person to actually make a recipe and e-mail us I am going to take the high road and assume you were all too busy, or just didn't understand the rules of the contest. But, fear not, we will have another one in the future. So Gina, let me know if you want me to mail you the measuring cups, or if you just want to wait and get them when you are here next month! Congratulations, and thanks for taking part in our contest, it was sure fun for us!!!

HAPPY APRIL FOOLS

Ok so what you do is go out and buy the biggest turkey you can find, you then get a whole duck and a whole chicken. I like to season mine with more meat paste thin it out and inject the wonderful flavor of meat into your birds. You then take the chicken and stuff it into the duck, you want to fill in any gaps with meat stuffing. Take the duck now and stuff it into the turkey and again fill in with meat stuffing. Yes it does fit. You want to then cook this covered at 350 for 6 hours uncovering for the last 1. During this last hour go out and get that BBQ going, marinade some steak with your fave. and grill them bad boys low and slow. Serve all together with beans or even grilled sausage smothered in Wingers juice. Good luck and Good eats.

APRIL FOOLS EVERYONE!!!
