Tina Casserole with a “Lisa” Twist!

My good friend Tina gave a wonderful casserole idea and I put my own twist on it! Recipes are fun to make them your own too!

I made her and I a Ribeye Steak lunch today. The steaks were MONDO! So she gave me this wonderful idea!

Cut the steak into bite size pieces and throw in the casserole dish
Cook Rotini noodles until just Al Dente!
I chopped up Gruyere cheese and threw them in the casserole dish. Also grated parmesan cheese in there too!
Saute onion and mushrooms and garlic in some butter until tender . Add 2 cans of Cream of Mushroom soup and one can of half and half, also sour cream! Heat until nicely mixed and creamy!
Pour over the noodles and top with bread crumbs or potato chips
Bake in 350 degree oven for 30 to 40 minutes until bubbly!

Oh my gosh it is sinfully delicious! Now to do my treadmill tomorrow!

My Friend Gave Me Top Ramen Dinner Idea!

I fried up some baby chops, the cut into small pieces. Boiled the ramen noodles according to directions then drained. Fried onion along with the chops. Throw all into the pan, season with sesame oil, soy sauce and fry til you like them! Next time I will use a non stick pan because I want the noodles crispy!

Thanks to my sweet friend Melissa for sharing an easy make meal on a Friday night! It’s coffee time cuz I am not going to bed at 4! Grrrrr

Portrait of Lucy

I took this awesome photo of Lucy this morning! She is my little princess! She seems so dainty but she is a solid girl and she sure isn’t dainty when she drinks her water! tee hee, when she drinks her water I call her Miss Piggy! I bought a rubber tray to put under her water bowl!

She sure has fit in perfectly with my life! We are a great match! I hope you love her portrait too! I am going to have this made into a print to hang on my wall!

Rest In Peace Actor John Heard

Actor John Heard passed away. I remember him from the movies Home Alone and Home Alone 2 Lost in New York, the movie Big, NCIS Los Angeles, Sopranos, CSI Miami, the movie Deceived. He has a lot to his credit of work! I liked him.

It is sad to hear of good talent passing away! Condolences to his family and loved ones.
