Saturday Recipe Swap- Lazagna Roll Ups and a Quick Deal

In all honesty I have not made these in years. It is a recipe I got from an old cookbook I had bought myself while waiting for God to send "the one" for me. They are absolutely delicious. Instead of using lazagna, you could even use jumbo shells with the filling. It is a great make ahead dinner also.

One thing I would recommend is that you read through the directions before attempting. They seem long and tedious, but they really aren't.

Now that I think of it, I might surprise Brian with them sometime this week...or next week. Shhh, don't tell him!

Woohoo! What a little extra sleep will do for a body. No waking up before dawn for me today! For those of you who live in the Tampa area, Mosi (the Museum of Science and Industry) is have a $5 day today. Not only do you get access to the museum itself, but from my understanding, you also get a movie and a planetarium viewing. Have a great Saturday!
