LAZY DAY!

As I lay here in my bed at 12:30 PM on a Saturday, I can't help but love LAZY DAYS! OK, the real reason I'm in bed is because I really hurt my back a few days ago and Kirt's making me stay in here. It's payback! Since he broke his elbow a couple weeks ago I haven't really let him do much, and I keep saying to him, "Go lay down and get that arm up!" He HATES it. :) So now it's his turn to boss me around, I suppose. This morning when Kirt was elevating his arm again(laying in bed) and I was resting my back (laying in bed), Dallin walked and and commented how unfair it was that he was doing chores and we were laying in bed watching TV. Nothing like that kind of statement to make you feel like a FABULOUS parent. Never mind the millions of times that I'M doing the chores and HE'S watching TV...but whatever. I've given up trying to reason with my stubborn 10 year old. He's too smart. :)

Super Saturday Recipe :)

Crockpot Lasagna

6 lasagna noodles
1 lb. ground beef, browned and seasoned with Italian seasoning
1 jar spaghetti sauce
1 16 oz. carton cottage cheese
2 cups mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup water

Spray crockpot with cooking spray. Take 3 lasagnas noodles, break them in half and put them on the bottom of the crockpot. Spread half the hamburger on top of the noodles. Pour half of the spaghetti sauce and half of the water on top of that. Place half of the cottage cheese, followed by half of the mozzarella cheese on top. Repeat layers one more time. Cook on low 4-5 hours or on high 3 hours. This is a great one! We love it at our house. :)

Super Saturday Recipe

The last two weeks have been CRAZY around here, so I'm finally getting around to posting a recipe again. This is one of our favorites on Sunday morning. :)

Butterscotch Pan Rolls

15-20 frozen Rhodes rolls
1 pkg. Butterscotch pudding (NOT instant)
1 cube butter
1 tsp. cinnamon
3/4 c. brown sugar

Lightly grease a bundt pan. Place frozen rolls in it. (They can overlap a bit.) Sprinkle pudding over the rolls. In a microwave safe bowl, melt butter, cinnamon and brown sugar together. Pour over rolls. Spray a piece of saran wrap with cooking spray and then place it over the top of the pan. (This way, when the rolls rise, they won't stick to the plastic.) Rise overnight. Bake at 350 degrees for 20-25 minutes.

*Note: I usually do this right before bed because if you let them rise TOO long, they aren't as good. 8-10 hours rising is optimal.
