I'm a Blessed Guest

There's something special going on this month! Over at Joanne's blog she's interviewing different people all month. She tells me she has some pretty exciting interviews lined up, and she also has some with your average blogger, like me.
This will be going on all through the month of February, so make sure you stop by and see who she's talking to!
*My interview will be posted on Tuesday, February 2nd.

Simple Things

A few days ago, Simone over at Chocolate Covered Daydreams did a post on Simple Things. It's a good idea to be reminded of how many simple things bring us joy. However, this post did even more. She had linked to another Simple Things post at Christines blog. Christine and her family are giving a dollar for every simple things post that links to her, to Doctors without borders. This will help, not only those in Haiti, but in other places where medical care is not easily obtained. So, here's my list. Feel free to join us!

• a breeze on a hot summer day
• sunshine in the winter
• snow covered pine trees
• a baby laughing
• the smell of fresh cut grass
• a clean house
• warm, comfy slippers
• the first flowers in the spring
• clean sheets on my bed
• having my family all together
• hearing a favorite song on the radio
• the smell of baking bread
• a smile from one of my residents
• laughter

And that's just a few!

Cooking Thursday

This recipe is a family favorite. It's something my Mom used to make before I was married, and I've been married for almost 29 years, so it's a classic!



French Lasagne
1 pound hamburg
1/2 pound sausage
1 small can tomato paste
1 tablespoon parsley
1/2 teaspoon oregano
1/4 cup chopped onion
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
2 cans crescent rolls (I use the recipe type, with no perforations)
1 cup cottage cheese
1/4 cup parmesan cheese
4 slices mozzarella cheese

Brown meat and drain fat. Add tomato paste, parsley, oregano, onion, salt, pepper and worcestershire sauce. Simmer 10 minutes.
Place crescent rolls on cookie sheet, long side together. Pinch edges together.
Spread 1/2 of the meat mix down the middle of the crescent rolls.
Mix cottage cheese and parmesan cheese. Spoon over meat.
Spread remaining meat mixture over cheeses. Place slices of mozzarella over top of meat.
Bring sides of crescent rolls up and cover cheese. Seal together. Finished it should look like a large roll of French bread.
Bake 325 degrees for 25 minutes until top is golden. Top may be brushed with melted butter.
