I'm feeling so inspired by this blog- I'm posting a week in advance. For those of you who know me, this is nothing short of miraculous, on many levels!
Monday: Meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and peas
Tuesday: leftovers, if there are any or Apple Butternut squash soup and fresh bread
Wednesday: Daddy Dinner (Mom's night out)
Thursday: Rice Lasagna (thank you Reading Rainbow for this recipe) and garden salad
Friday: Eggs, bacon, and biscuits
Saturday: Wild card...
Sunday: Homemade pizza (and Sunday night movie The Gruffalo)
Here's the Rice Lasagna recipe we found on Reading Rainbow. It's from episode 14: How to make an apple pie and see the world. Gotta love LeVar! The amounts are vague, but pretty straight forward. I think it would be hard to mess this up. I baked it at 350 until the cheese was golden on top (around 30-40 minutes)
Marinara
3 onions, chopped
2 carrots, chopped
4 tomatoes, peeled and chopped (boil for 10-15 sec and cool in ice bath to make peeling easier)
fresh basil leaves
rosemary sprigs
garlic
Simmer in a large pot.
Lasagna
canola oil
cooked brown rice
spinach, wilted
mozzarella cheese
marinara sauce (see above)
Spread a thin layer of oil in a casserole dish. Pack a layer of rice in the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle a layer of spinach over the rice. Cover the spinach with cheese. Cover the cheese with the marinara sauce. Layer 2-3 more times until the dish is full. End on a layer of cheese.
