This week I am going to try to cook more during the week. It is always a good idea, but never quite works out.
Lasagna rolls, salad and garlic bread (My recipe is below, but it was kinda bland. I am up for any suggestions. I did add ground beef to my mixture, maybe that is where I went wrong)
Chicken quarters and homemade fries (Chicken is already seasoned, freezes great and usually goes on sale fo $.99 a pound at Kroger)
Chicken thigh, beans and kielbasi casserole (new recipe that I will share it it turns out any good)
I have some frozen chicken and pork chops in the freezer, so depending on the amount of leftovers I can throw together some sort of meal.
Lasagna Rolls

Ingredients:
1 pkg. manicotti or lasagna noodles, cooked drained and cooling in water
1 cup cottage or ricotta cheese
1 cup grated mozzarella cheese
1 egg
1 tsp. Italian seasoning
1 cup spaghetti sauce
Directions:
If you are using lasagna noodles, get those cooking first. (My opinion: I think you should either use half of the box of lasagna noodles, or you should double the cheese mixture if you are using a whole box. I had quite a bit of noodles left over when my cheese mixture was all used up)
Once they are cooked, use tongs to take them out of the boiling water and put them in a bowl of ice water so they can chill enough to touch them.
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Mix together cheeses with egg and Italian seasoning.
Stuff manicotti or lasagna noodles rolled up.
Place stuffed pasta in large baking dish. Top with spaghetti sauce and bake for 30-35 minutes.
I use a similar recipe but add some fresh parm cheese, garlic powder, oregano, basil, salt and pepper. When I want to add meat to the dish I put some premade meatballs (I tend to cook large batches of meatballs and freeze them) with the sauce and rolls to bake.
