Lasagna

As I was walking from my lab section to the MU to grab something yummy before my lecture class I walked right past these beautiful flowers and couldn't help but stop and snap some quick camera pictures.

Spring in Arizona is like a big huge present we get to make up for how stinking hot it will be in about 6 weeks.

Any-who it is once again Wednesday so I am back with a meat-free recipe to whip up for dinner tonight. I, in fact, will be making this for dinner tonight for that oh so sweet guy I once in awhile blog about while we watch Brad Pitt kill some Nazi's in Inglorious Bastards. Just screams romance doesn't it? Especially eating something this red and saucy but we've been craving it so oh well.

Lasagna Roll-Ups

from an AMAZING vegetarian food blogger I found Leslie Sarna

1 box lasagna noodles

Tomato sauce

1 large tub ricotta cheese

a handful of fresh parsley, chopped

a handful of mozzarella, shredded

a handful of grated parmesan cheese

a handful of fresh spinach chopped

a handful of fresh basil chopped

Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Combine all the filling ingredients in a bowl. Cook teh lasagna noodles till they are done, but still al dente. Cover the bottom of a 9x13 baking dish with the tomato sauce and on a clean surface, lay a noodle down and spread cheese mixture in the center an=bout 3/4 of the noodle. Start at one end and roll up noodle and place in the prepared baking dish. Repeat with all noodles. When you are done, cover them with the tomato sauce and sprinkle some mozzarella and parmesan cheese. Bake for 30 min until the cheese is bubbly and beginning to brown .

I will try to sneak a picture of the finished product tonight (and of him if I can!!) but again I don't want to scare him off with my paparazzi skills just yet.

Happy Wednesday Everyone!

Spring Break

Is coming!!

I really had wanted to go somewhere amazing this year because it might be my last spring break as an undergrad but school got the best of me and I didn't have to to plan anything so I'm going to use these beautiful days off to..

Make these cute felt flowers into headbands/hair clips for my nieces

Maybe some singed flowers

finally start/finish some crocheted bows

and perhaps some fabric bows too

work on projects from this book to make a rad apron

go up to Sedona for a day date in the most couple like thing I've done with Mr. Amazing and my good friend Sara and her beau, Chad

fyi...we are NOT in a relationship just to set things straight. Just two cools people who get together and are umm...cool together(?) yeah that sounds good

But if we all go on this trip I'll try and sneak a photo of him and post it...I don't want to scare him off with my paparazzi moves just yet.

I've decided that I want to be the car DJ and the drive up and back.

I am just so in love right now with

Little Joy

Picnic Time

I live in sunny Arizona and March is pretty much the most magical time of year here. Saturday is forecasted to be a lovely 76 degrees and I'm making the most of how glorious it is outside right now, before it becomes deathly hot and miserable and I then voice my fears about melting.

How am I making the most of my time?? by going on a picnic of course!
