day 21: a recipe

This is me, with my friends Julie and Heidi. Heidi is my greatest friend for needing to know how to do things. Like, anything. Like, any single thing you need to know, Heidi will know it.

Do you need to know how to get candle wax out of your carpet? Don't worry-- just take your iron and a brown paper bag (newspaper can work too), and it'll come right out!

Do you need to know about the psychology of 19th century clothing? Fear not-- Heidi might even get a DEGREE on the subject, so just wait a few years and you can have a pretty impressive thesis to read.

Do you need a wedding dress? It's fine-- Heidi can MAKE IT.

She's also handy for recipes, which is why I was able to make a delicious rotini lasagna for dinner last night.

1 lb. rotini
8 oz cream cheese
16 oz sour cream
1 can cream of mushroom soup
1 lb. ground beef (or turkey)
1 can tomato sauce

Cook noodles. Mix with softened cream cheese, sour cream and cream of mushroom soup.

Brown meat. Mix with tomato sauce.

Layer noodles and sauce mixture in 9x13" pan. Sprinkle with parmesan cheese. Cook for 40 minutes at 350 degrees.


DELICIOUS, you guys, and keeps well for lots of leftovers.

I'm glad you like it! A neighbor brought it to us several years ago when someone was sick, and we loved it. You can do so many variations, too. Homemade spaghetti sauce, chicken, Alfredo... It's fast and easy and we love that. :)
