Four Foods On Friday
I know, I know — some weeks I actually remember to do this. I love reading every else’s answers to the weekly questions too! As I was making my slow cooker beef stew, I decided that I think I am going to start a cooking blog (which these weekly questions would go great on)! But onto the questions:
#1. What is your favorite kind of juice to drink? Umm, not a big juice drinker here, so I’ll go with orange juice.
#2. Pizza. What’s your favorite? Pepperoni.
#3. Mustard. Yellow, brown, depends. I hate mustard.
#4. Share a side dish recipe that uses rice or pasta. I have to add this one later. My laptop that has all my recipes on it blew up and until I can get it working again, I have no access to any of my recipes. I am hoping to get this added to this shortly!

Four Foods On Friday
Okay, I have been slacking. I keep forgetting to do this meme. Here are the questions for this week:
#1. Bacon. Chewy, crispy or burnt? Chewy. Doesn’t that sound so yummy?
#2. Mayonnaise or miracle whip? I am a miracle whip girl, but the hubby is a mayonnaise man. Yes, we have a jar of each in the house.
#3. What green vegetable is used in Italian Wedding soup? Spinach (I had to look it up though – lol)
#4. Share a recipe that you use Italian sausage in. Lasagna:
Ingredients:
1 box (16 oz) lasagna noodles
1 lb sweet Italian sausage
1 medium yellow onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 tsp crushed red pepper flakes
2 eggs
2 lbs ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese (8 oz)
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 jar (48 oz) seasoned tomato sauce
Makes 8 servings
Prep time: 25 minutes
Bake time: 1 hour
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Cook lasagna noodles as package directs; drain and rinse.
Meanwhile, in a nonstick skillet, cook sausage and onion till brown. Drain fat. Stir in garlic and red pepper flakes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine eggs, ricotta, mozzarella, Parmesan, and basil. Mix well.
Spread a layer of tomato sauce in a 13 x 9 inch baking dish; top with a layer of noodles. Cover noodles with a layer of the cheese mixture; top with some sausage mixture. Cover with a layer of sauce. Repeat layering with noodles, cheese mixture, sausage mixture, and sauce. Top with final layer of noodles and sauce.
Bake covered for 45 minutes. Uncover and bake about 15 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

Anybody watch the episode last night? It was awesome. I am wondering which of the kids (if any) are not Darlings. My guess would be the twins. My favorite part is the kid that Brian is trying to pass off as a Swedish orphan and not his son. I kept thinking that he was using salt shakers on his food. Instead, it was pepper. There was a comment made at the family dinner about how they never saw anybody put that amount of pepper on their food except for Brian. I am seeing that they are laying the seeds for everybody to kind out that this is really his son. This show has so many great twists and turns that I can’t wait each week for the next show.
