Hmmm, so good X 4

It's a Happy Halloween Birthday Party!!!

Chloe's friend Felicity celebrated her 5th birthday today

and during the party & without Chloe's help I made:

4 Lasagnas!!!

On the last Sunday of each month my entire family gets together to have Family Home Evening and tomorrow it is at my house. Now that the lasagnas are made I can start cleaning my kitchen from top to bottom! I have already clean all of the bedrooms and just need to attack the bathrooms before I drop dead from exhaustion tonight. Then I will mop the floor tomorrow after the kids spill and drop their lunch crumbs!!!

This is Seth's face when I said he couldn't have any lasagna until tomorrow!

Lasagna Recipe:
12 ounces ground beef & sausage combination
7½ ounces tomatoes
8 ounces tomato sauce
6 ounces tomato paste
2 teaspoons dried basil
1 teaspoon dried oregano
6 dried lasagna noodles
1 egg, beaten
2 cups cottage cheese
¼ cup grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
8 slices mozzarella cheese

For sauce, brown meat; add onion powder and garlic powder. Drain fat. Stir in un-drained tomatoes, sauce, paste, basil, oregano, and pepper. Bring to a boil, reduce heat. Cover; simmer 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Meanwhile, cook noodles for 10 to 12 minutes or till tender but still firm. Drain noodles; rinse with cold water. Drain well. For filling, combine the egg, cottage cheese and Parmesan cheese. Layer three of the cooked noodles in a large rectangle-baking dish. Spread with half of the filling. Top with half of the meat sauce. Repeat layers. Top with slices of mozzarella cheese. Bake 375° for 30 – 35 minutes or till heated through. Let stand 10 minutes before serving. Make ahead directions: after assembling as above, cover and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Bake, covered 375° for 40 minutes. Uncover, bake about 20 minutes more or till hot. Let stand 10 minutes before serving.
