It's Friday!

We signed B up for TKD again here at our new place. Yay, he is so thrilled!! D doesn't want to do it, but that's OK, we signed him up for soccer that will be starting soon.


Made a new recipe tonight that I found on Pinterest. It's mini lasagna cups made with wonton wrappers. This recipe was very easy and tasted good. Although, next time I will use less ricotta cheese and more sauce. I like my lasagna more on the saucy side. But I will make again, very good and the boys loved it too.

Here is the recipe I used from Pinterst originally from Canyoustayfordinner.

Petite Lasagnas
recipe slightly adapted from Hungry Girl
12 oz raw ground turkey
1 tsp salt, divided
¼ tsp pepper
1 cup chopped onion
½ cup chopped mushrooms
14.5 oz can crushed tomatoes, or tomato sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tsp dried oregano, divided
½ tsp dried basil
1 ½ cups part skim ricotta cheese
24 small square wonton wrappers (the kind near the tofu in the refrigerated section of the produce dept)
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
 Preheat oven to 375ºF. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey, onions, mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Crumble the meat and saute the mixture for about 10 minutes, or until the turkey is cooked through. Add the garlic and stir constantly for 30 seconds.Add the crushed tomatoes and 2 tsp of oregano. Bring the pan to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, a pinch of salt and pepper, the remaining teaspoon of oregano, and the basil. Stir to mix well. Set aside.
Coat a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Place 1 wonton wrapper into each of the 12 cups, pressing firmly in the bottom of the cup and up the sides.Using half of the ricotta mixture, divide it among the 12 muffin cups. Next, using half of the turkey tomato sauce, spoon it evenly over each of the ricotta filled cups. Sprinkle with 2 tsp of mozzarella.Gently press another wonton wrapper on top of the mozzarella layer.
Repeat the process by distributing the remaining ricotta, then the remaining tomato sauce, and finally the rest of the shredded mozzarella.Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.Let the cups cool, remove them from the pan, and serve!

 I also got this cute strawberry football idea on Pinterest too!  I then added my own touch and made a heart treat for the boys to go with it. They were wanting me to make them an early Valentine special treat  :-)


I have a few more new recipes that I'm going to try out this weekend. I'll let you know how those go.

I'm excited for tomorrow night. It's a Mom/Son dance at the boys school. The theme is outdoors and they encourage you to wear your camouflage! hee hee!  We'll be comfy while at the Father/Daughter others will be semi-formal! Lovin' the comfy outdoors theme, perfect for boys!!! I'll be sure to take some pics! Luckily I found the boys a camo shirt at Old Navy for only $4 each! Nice!! Although, I was out on the hunt for me some Mommy camo and didn't really find exactly what I was looking for, but I did find something that will work. I also got a cute pink tree type camo visor hat to go with. yay!

We'll be enjoying the Superbowl on Sunday with some yummy snacks. Again, trying some new recipes.

We are on the countdown to our new home!! yay!! Only about 24 more days...whoo hoo!!!
