Here it is:

Ingredients:

13 x 9 baking pan (glass is best), sprayed with Pam

2 lbs lean ground beef

1 TBSP minced garlic

9 lasagna noodles

8-12 ounces of ricotta cheese (I use whole-milk ricotta)

1-1.5 cups parmesan cheese

4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

4 eggs

1/2 TBSP dried oregano

1 jar Bertolli Olive Oil and Garlic spaghetti sauce

1 jar Bertolli 5 Cheese spaghetti sauce

Directions:

  • Preheat oven to 350.
  • Cook lasagna noodles until you can just barely pierce them with a fingernail.
  • Brown ground beef with garlic and drain off the grease. Combine with both jars of sauce.
  • Mix eggs and ricotta cheese together until smooth. Add oregano. Add a handful each of mozzarella and parmesan.
  • Lay 3 noodles on bottom of sprayed dish. Spoon 1/3 of sauce mixture evenly on the noodles, then spoon 1/2 of ricotta mixture on. Sprinkle on a handful each of mozzarella and parmesan.
  • Add another layer of 3 noodles. Spoon another 1/3 of the sauce and remaining ricotta onto the lasagna.
  • Add remaining noodles. Top with remaining sauce. Cover with remaining mozzarella and parmesan.
  • Bake for 45 minutes to an hour. I usually bake for an hour, because my family likes our lasagna to be rather dark.

Like I said, it is definitely NOT low calorie or low fat, but it's one of my family's favorite "sometime dishes."

Tried this recipe yesterday and it was delicious ! Thanks for sharing. :hungry:

Ok...I'm usually nice and am the one quietly laughing and agreeing while you guys post about your peeves...but I couldn't help myself on this one. How the hell is your band attached to the blood vessels in your nose? The only thing I can think of is if they had some sort of assisted breathing at the hospital but from my experience, I had a tube down my throat.

I didn't know they were now banding the nasal cavity. Oh...it is way too early for this!

I suppose it's possible that the heparin that they used during surgery to prevent clotting hasn't worn off yet, but I don't know the first thing about blood thinners. Most likely, she just had a bloody nose, though.

Fried foods .... anyone try fried mac & cheese? .

I was just watching Paula's Party and she deep fried jellied cranberry sauce....I love cranberry sauce and I wonder how this would taste....but.....I'm afraid I can't bring myself to eat that many calories.

Deep-Fried Cranberry Sauce Fritters Recipe courtesy Paula Deen, 2007See this recipe on air Tuesday Nov. 20 at 12:00 AM ET/PT. Show: Paula's PartyEpisode: Deep Fried Thanksgiving spacer.gifIP0307_Cranberry_Fritters_e.jpgspacer.gifspacer.gif

1 (13-ounce) can jelly style cranberry sauce, sliced into 1/2-inch thick rounds

2 cups all-purpose flour, divided

2 tablespoons sugar

Pinch salt

1 teaspoon baking powder

1 cup Water

Oil, for frying

Lay the cranberry sauce rounds out in a single layer on a parchment paper-lined sheet pan and freeze for 4 hours or until solid. In a shallow bowl, place one cup of the flour. In another shallow bowl combine the remaining cup of flour with the sugar, salt, and baking powder. Pour in the water and stir together until smooth. Let the batter rest for 15 minutes. Heat the oil in a deep-fryer or large Dutch oven to 375 degrees F. Dredge the frozen cranberry sauce rounds in the flour. Then dip rounds in the batter and gently place in the oil. Fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a paper towel-lined plate to drain. Serve and enjoy immediately.

I love whole cranberries. They grow them around here. I can't even imagine ruining them by frying them.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
