Happy Saturday! ❤️😋
ps: I’m not going to breakdown my recipe because I pour here, sprinkle there & I never make the same lasagna twice😉 they all end up uniquely different and delicious!

Juli’s Red White & Green Savory Basil Oregano Beef & Sausage Lasagna with zero mozzarella cheese only Parmesan & Ricotta. So, if you don’t have time to make a fresh batch of sauce, I highly recommend Rao’s sauce. It’s amazing. I used 3 jars: marinara for the bottom, tomato basil for the middle & roasted garlic for the top layer. Everyone makes lasagna differently & I use whatever I have on hand. 16 oz of Alfredo sauce & 8 oz of pesto in the middle layers. 3 lbs of seared ground sage pork & 1 lb ground beef. 1/2 cup of Parmesan cheese per layer. At any rate, if you season your meat well with basil & oregano & use enough sauce, cover & bake @350f for an hour, you can’t go wrong. (A little mozzarella would have been great though😉)

Well, what an emotionally & physically exhausting year 2017 has been. Who knew this was going to be ....this way? Certainly not me. I’m really looking forward to 2018 and all that it brings. It is exciting. I love my new job...really, I do. I’ve been in it for 6 weeks now and got the hang of it. I’m not running around like a headless chicken anymore.....relief!
School is done!!! I still don’t know what to do with my little free time now...and, there’s a feeling of “I did it...despite it all...I DID IT!” A co-worker wrote in my inspiring quotes book at work (yes, I have one by my computer) and it says “(something something something....) Know your worth!” I’m still learning to know my worth. And, because I lack that understanding, I’m doing my best to build my kids up to know their worth in order to be successful and never doubt or question it! I turn 41 today...ehhh, it’s just another year after the big milestone and I don’t feel any different. I have made a health goal and, by golly, it’s going to happen. Last week, a PACU nurse came up to me and said in her Jamaican accent, “Juli, you look fatter (I kid you not!!!) than the last time I saw you.....I do believe my head blew off for a moment 🤯🤬I could only respond with: “Keep walking Juliet...just keep walking!” Here’s the thing, her statement has given me motivation to get back to where I was before all of my stress eating turned me into the stay-puffed-marshmallow! I’ve set a 3 month goal and it’s going to happen. No excuses. I wallowed in a funk of depression (for so many reasons)and now I’m over it! So there! The best feeling (for me) is proving others wrong. I can’t help myself. It’s a part of who I am. Tell me I can’t, I’ll show you I can and excel at it. That’s also a double-edged sword😉 My health deserves this though; so, it’s a good thing. I thought about cooking for my birthday...all I want is a huge lobster! Those huge tender sweet claws....gah....with a glistening of silky salty butter....a mouthwatering must have! Have a great Christmas Season! Make something new for the holidays. Step out of your kitchen comfort zone and create an amazing dish! Surprise yourself. Happy Friday! Xo j 💚 I’m officially done with school & graduated with a BSN! What a labor of love. I never thought this day would actually be here. The struggle was definitely real. This is just one more stepping stone to my goal!
Yay!! Happy Saturday. Xo j 💚 |
Decadent can be healthy....
