Last Nights Supper & a BONUS recipe :)

I made Spinach Lasagna Roll-Ups last night. Wee-one has eaten these in the past...HAS EATEN being the key words. Last night he wouldn't even TRY a bite! Of course that might have something to do with the fact that he had 1/2 a pudding cup, a slice of cheese and a bite of biscuit at 5:00. Yes I know...I still haven't learned! LOL! I needed to make supper and I needed to keep him happy so yes I fed him some snacks. He ate Goldfish crackers for a bedtime snack later too :)! Hubs and I enjoyed the Roll-ups. There are a few left-over too so that'll make good lunch for both of us for the next few days.

Wee-one was not acting like himself last night either so before bath time I took his temp. He had a slight fever (100.6) so we gave him a bath and some Motrin. He was like himself as soon as the Motrin kicked in. By the time he went to bed his forehead was cold. This a.m. we took his temp again and it was normal. So I'm not sure if I didn't get a good temperature reading last night or what. But I could tell by his behavior that he wasn't feeling the greatest. He just wasn't my happy, talkative little guy. He would play but was so tired. Again he seems better today so I'm not sure what was going on. He does have a bit of a runny nose so maybe he's fighting a virus of some sort.

Ok so back to FOOD...ha! Tonight we are having Pumpkin Waffles. They are DELICIOUS. I'm excited to make them again even though I find making waffles a pain in the you know what. But I guess in the long run it's worth it and having left-overs to freeze is even better :)! I hope Wee-one eats them tonight. He's eating better today (compared to yesterday) so here's hoping.

On Monday night we had Turkey Stew and biscuits for supper. The stew was SO GOOD! I shared my biscuit recipe on another post so if you want that one again just look at some of my old posts and you should be able to find it. However I didn't make them all fancy like on Monday. I just did plain ol' drop biscuits. They were still just as delicious. Here is the Turkey stew recipe:

Turkey/Chicken Stew

6 split chicken breasts or 1 sm. turkey breast
4 c. water
2 tsp. salt
6 potatoes
3 stalks celery
2 Tbsp. parsley flakes
1/4 c. milk
2 chicken boullion cubes
1 tsp. pepper
1 onion
6-7 carrots
3 Tbsp. corn starch

Simmer chicken with water, bouillon, salt, and pepper for an hour or until tender (turkey will take longer) (and on a side note I had LEFTOVER turkey in my freezer so I used that and just threw everything together in a pot, skipping that first step). Remove meat from pan. Add chopped vegetables, parsley, and simmer. Remove chicken from bones. Put chicken back in pot after vegetables are cooked, 30-45 minutes. Mix cornstarch with water; add to pot, stirring in gradually. Bring to a boil to thicken. (www.cooks.com)

Like I said I used leftover turkey and just threw everything in a pot, brought it to a boil, simmered it until vegetables were cooked, then added the corn starch. I boiled it again to thicken it and then turned it to low to just stay warm until supper. Turned out BEAUTIFULLY!

Here is the recipe for the Spinach Lasagna Roll-Ups:

Spinach Lasagna Roll-Ups:

4 oz. cream cheese, softened
1 (10oz. pkg.) frozen, chopped spinach, thawed and well drained
1 1/4 c. mozzarella cheese, divided
1/4 c. grated Parmesan cheese
6 lasagna noodles, cooked and drained
2 c. spaghetti sauce

Heat oven to 350. Mix cream cheese, spinach, 1 c. mozzarella cheese and Parmesan until well-blended. Spread onto noodles. Roll up tightly.

Place seam side down in a 9 in. baking dish, top with sauce and remaining cheese.

Bake for 30 minutes or until heated through.

I also had some bread sticks (pre-made from the grocery store bakery...they were on the "day old" rack...yes I'm thrifty like that!) and I heated up some frozen corn. This is a wonderful, filling meal and OH SO DELICIOUS!!!
