Lasagna

I made lasagna for dinner last night and it was so good...really really good! lol! How would you like to make your own? This dish is very simple to make. You should try it!


Ingredients

  • 1 pound sweet Italian sausage
  • 3/4 pound lean ground beef
  • 1/2 cup minced onion
  • 1 can spaghetti sauce
  • 12 lasagna noodles
  • 3/4 pound mozzarella cheese, sliced
  • 3/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • ketchup

Directions

  1. Fry sausage and ground beef over medium heat until well browned. Stir in spaghetti sauce and minced onion. Simmer, covered, for about 1/2 hour, stirring occasionally. Add ketchup for sweetness.
  2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain noodles, and rinse with cold water.
  3. Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
  4. To assemble, spread 1 1/2 cups of meat sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Arrange 6 noodles lengthwise over meat sauce. Top with a third of mozzarella cheese slices. Spoon 1 1/2 cups meat sauce over mozzarella, and sprinkle with 1/4 cup Parmesan cheese. Repeat layers, and top with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan cheese. Cover with foil: to prevent sticking, either spray foil with cooking spray, or make sure the foil does not touch the cheese.
  5. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Remove foil, and bake an additional 25 minutes. Cool for 15 minutes before serving.

Drinking Plenty of Water


My son was didn't really like to water drinker. He don't drink enough of water as it should. Things changed though. When he suffer from kidney infection and bladder infection with symptoms of urinary tract infection, I know I have to do something as being a mom I have to let him drinking habits and he started drinking water daily. He drink a lot of water now just because I always remind him to drink a water and also replacement of cranberry juice which is really helpful for him for his own health, which in turn makes him go to the bathroom more often than he would prefer.

Why drink plenty of water?
The obvious benefit of drinking water is that it replenishes an ingredient that is essential to our body. Almost 60% of your body is comprised of water, so how can it not be important? In the course of a day, our body depletes itself of water through urine, sweat, and normal cellular activity. Lack of adequate water slows down our metabolism and interferes with healing, toxin removal, removal of old cells and replacement with new tissue. Therefore, drinking plenty of water is an important part of both daily life and toxic cleansing.
