What is coming in the New Year

At the beginning of the year my blog will once again change formats. I started with a traditional blog where I shared my thoughts and things around my world. I felt that a public forum may not be the best place to share all my opinions, so I changed my blog as a journey through my experiment with becoming a vegetarian. Since that isn't much of a journey anymore, I am once again changing the format of my blog.

Starting January 1st I will be attempting something called Project 365. What I will be doing is taking a picture every day of the year as a photo journal. I am hoping I will improve in photography through this process. I am also hoping by advertising my intent I will be help accountable to finish my year-long commitment. Anyway, this blog will be where I will share my photo journal that I will be taking throughout the year. I don't intend to update it every day, but hopefully once a week!? :o)

Anyway, as I embark on this journey I would welcome any comments, both good and bad, on my photography. I am not expecting to get a stellar photo for each day, but I am sure as I practice more I will be able to view the world that I live in more creatively. Stay tuned in the new year as I take on this exciting project!

Also, once I start this I will stop my live feed to Facebook, so if that is how you follow this blog, you may want to subscribe to follow me via blogger!

Spinach Lasagna

I have been a little busy and haven't been dabbling in new recipes a whole lot lately. While my mom was here to help us after Elin was born, we adapted this recipe and froze it for after she left. I loved it so much that I wanted to share my adaptation with my followers! It was very delicious and very easy to make!

Spinach Lasagna

Ingredients:
1 jar spaghetti sauce
2 eggs
1 pint ricotta cheese
fresh spinach
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
8 ounces sliced mozzarella cheese
12 lasagna noodles

Directions:

Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Lightly grease one 13 x 9 inch baking dish.

Cook noodles according to package.

In a medium bowl, beat the eggs. Combine them with the ricotta cheese. Add garlic, Italian seasoning, basil, and oregano to taste. Mix in the Parmesan cheese.

Spread a small amount of spaghetti sauce over the bottom of the baking dish. Place 4 noodles over the sauce, spread half the ricotta mixture, top generously with fresh spinach, top with 1/2 the sliced mozzarella cheese, and drizzle spaghetti sauce over top. Repeat layers, using remaining ingredients (save some spaghetti sauce for the top). Top with remaining noodles, spaghetti sauce, and shredded mozzarella cheese.

Cover dish securely with aluminum foil and bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour.
