Christmas Dinner

Lasagna Rolls;

Tonight Kailynn and I decided to tackle a new food for dinner. Since on Christmas eve we knew we were in for a long night and Christmas night our family attends an annual party at a dear friends house, I'm going to call this our families Christmas dinner. Kailynn found the idea on Pinterest and after making a grocery list I was off to our local food market. Given a list of stuff I've never heard of and a dead cell phone battery I was on my own to figure out what exactly Kailynn was talking about when she wrote the list.

The final product was what I would call a Lasoli (Lasagna & Ravioli mixture). The best part was that because it is cooked in a cupcake sheet plating a piece is really easy and not messy at all compared to normal Lasagna.

The meal itself consists of our slightly lower calorie version of Lasagna.

Ingredients:
for the sauce-
2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 large onion
1/2 pound lean ground turkey cooked and drained
1/2 red bell pepper, chopped
1 small zucchini, diced
2 cloves garlic, minced
1-6 oz. can tomato paste
1-8 oz. can tomato sauce {+1/2 can water to wash out can}
1-14.5 oz. can diced tomatoes
1 tablespoon dried basil
1/2 tablespoon dried oregano
1 teaspoon sugar
salt & pepper to taste

for the cheese filling-
1-10 oz. tub Philadelphia Italian Herb & Cheese Cooking Cream
1/3 cup grated parmesan cheese
3/4 pound mozzarella cheese, grated & divided
1/3 cup low fat cottage cheese
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 egg











For Dessert we made Banana, Nutella Milk Shakes. Very simple and includes banana, ice, milk, nutella, then freeze.
