Pasta With Asparagus & Ham

Posted on September 28, 2013 by LFFL

Made with fettuccine, asparagus, Virginia ham, chopped garlic, thyme, dry white wine, heavy cream, nutmeg, Parmesan cheese, and salt & pepper.

Oh, for the love of pasta! I loved this recipe.

Since the prosciutto at the health food store was astronomical in price, I decided to use ham as a substitute which worked fabulously.

So, if you have nothing else to do today, love yourself some pasta dishes.

Take-Away Life Lesson: You can easily replace prosciutto with ham and replace pancetta with bacon. Good to know. Prosciutto and pancetta are much more expensive than ham and bacon.

Lasagna Two Times

Posted on September 23, 2013 by LFFL

Made with ground beef, lasagna noodles, egg, mozzarella cheese, ricotta cheese, Parmesan cheese, spaghetti sauce, fresh parsley, and water.

What exactly do you want me to say about this? Is there something about the picture you’re just not getting? It speaks loud and clear to me.

Can you imagine a bathtub being layered with this stuff? If only there was a baking dish the size of a bathtub. Man, I’d immerse myself and go to town—right in the dead center! I mean, can you imagine being surrounded by all that good lovin’?

Then again, you have the problem of finding an oven that big.

Recipe for—Simply Lasagna

Made with ground turkey, no-boil lasagna noodles, olive oil, onion, minced garlic cloves, stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, tomato paste, eggs, cottage cheese, Parmesan cheese, mozzarella cheese, cheddar cheese, fresh parsley, seasoning salt, and salt & pepper.

Now this was a different second lasagna recipe I tried. This one had a few more ingredients in it than the first one above but was still just as lovely and simple to make.

I was reluctant to make any lasagna at first because I always thought there was so much work involved. But once I started making it, there really wasn’t anything to it. It was much simpler and quicker than I thought it’d be. And if you have someone to help you, it can cut the time down even further.

Recipe for—Mama’s Lasagna

So, if you have nothing else to do today, find the largest bathtub-sized baking dish you can find and make a big fat lasagna.

Take-Away Life Lesson: There’s nothing wrong with taking a little cheese bath.

Made with zucchini, flour, panko bread crumbs, parmesan cheese, fresh parsley, red pepper flakes, eggs, water, salt & pepper, and canola oil; Spicy Dipping Sauce made with sour cream, buttermilk, shallots, fresh chives, cayenne pepper, hot sauce, and salt & pepper.

There’s no way you can eat just one of these. The crispiness of the zucchini made eating these so much more enjoyable.

They’re so good you don’t even need the dipping sauce to eat with these.

Recipe for—Fried Zucchini & Spicy Dipping Sauce

So, if you have nothing else to do today, take some zucchini, slice them up and fry them.

Take-Away Life Lesson: The healthiness of the vegetable zucchini and the badness of the frying sort of kind of cancel each other out, you could say. So fry away!

Tuna Cakes

Posted on September 20, 2013 by LFFL

Made with tuna, chicken-flavored Stove Top stuffing, cheddar cheese, shredded carrots, mayonnaise, sweet pickle relish, onions, scallions, egg, and water.

These are one of my absolute favorites to eat for a snack. I could eat these tuna things all day long—and they’re so easy to make.

I actually made this from a combination of two different recipes—one was called Tuna Cakes, the other Tuna Croquettes.

Done in no time.
