Lasagna Rolls

This is the best lasagna recipe I've ever made. Granted I've only ever made one other lasagna recipe this is still a winner. Karl loves pasta dishes and requested lasagna a couple months ago. I made a lasagna and it was ok, nothing great but of course Karl ate it up, he's not picky. I came across this recipe online and decided to give it a shot. I was pleasantly surprised at how good it was. I mean I'm not a fan of Italian food, I'd rather have Mexican any day, but this was really good!

roll 'em up

cover 'em in cheese

Mmmmm......cheesy & gooey!

Vitamix baby!

I've been wanting a Vitamix for the past month or so. They're $450 though and there's no way Karl was letting me spend that on a blender (even though they are so much more than that and WAY better than any normal blender!) So I was going to secretly start hoarding some money so he couldn't say no if I had already saved up for it. Well, I went to Costco to go shopping for the hunting trip and guess what was on demo?? It was like a sign from God. I stood there and watched, listened, tasted, and then drooled over the Vitamix. I immediately texted Karl and sent him a picture of my green smoothie sample. He called me and after some negotiating I got the green light. I mean it was only $400 at Costco, how could you say no to that great deal?! The catch is he is making me find $400 worth of stuff in our house to sell. Ya, I'm still working on that, $85 down so far.
Anywhoo, Vitamix is the coolest thing ever. I've been drinking green smoothies for breakfast every morning and they are delicious! I have a bunch of recipes but they're mainly 2 cups of spinach mixed with some other fruit and veggies like grapes, pineapple, carrots, oranges, apples, bananas, etc. I also made us some awesome pina colada's. Seriously if you have a hard time getting your fruits and vegetables for the day, this is the way to go!

Smooth, creamy, green deliciousness!

Hunting

Karl didn't have any luck this year, I think he's pretty bummed about it. Oh well though, we had a good time and it was awesome weather. Karl's twin brother Alan and his son Connor, and their dad Barry came down to our neck of the woods this year. It was fun showing them around our hunting grounds. I don't think Karl believed all the stories my dad told him about hunting in the area. That's because every quarter mile or so my dad would have to tell the story of how he shot a deer (or 2 or 3 or 4) right there. Oh, and I actually saw more Moose than I did bucks so that was cool.

Karl likes to hike his ass off, so this is at the very bottom of a huge canyon.

I got smart after that and went with Steph and my Dad on the 4-wheeler and the Teryx


Here is Karl teaching Connor how to shoot the bb gun

Connor lost a tooth

My dad contemplating where the deer are hiding

The moose pictures are kind of crappy because I was trying to hurry.

There were 3 moose but I only took pictures of the big bull
Steph was such a wimp and was on the 4 wheeler behind me and my dad. She stayed way far behind as soon as she spotted the moose right off the side of the road because she didn't want to get charged or trampled to death (even though she had a gun)

Chris got a deer (I'll blog about it Steph since you haven't yet!). My dad and Steph actually saw it first thing opening morning. It was missing half of its horns so they didn't shoot it. Chris came along right behind them on the 4 wheeler and took it out . He don't discriminate.

My new favorite show...

I just started watching Glee and I wish I wouldn't have waited so long before finally watching it. I love it and I need to catch up on all of the older episodes.
