4th of July

Our first 4th of July in Houston was spent with good friends, good food, and some great beer. We started off the Day at Saint Arnold's, and ended up at Chelsea and Derek's pool.

Lasagna Rolls

I got the inspiration for this recipe from the Whole Foods website. They turned out really well and I will definitely be making them again.

1 box of lasagna pasta
pasta sauce
ricotta cheese (I used the low fat kind)
shredded mozzarella cheese (I used vegan cheese in half for my husband)
spinach
ground turkey (1/2 lb is good for about 10 rolls)

Directions:
Put a large pot of water on high to boil. Once it starts boiling, add lasagna pasta and cook according to directions. While the pasta is boiling, cook the ground turkey. Once the pasta is done, drain and rinse with cold water.

On a clean work surface, lay out the pasta. Add a thin layer of ricotta cheese, mozzarella cheese, spinach leaves, ground turkey, and pasta sauce. Roll up and place into a cooking pan with tall sides. Continue until all are rolled. Then top with some more pasta sauce and mozzarella cheese.

Bake at 350 degrees for 30 minutes, or until the center is warm.

I'LL BE BOCK - Saint Arnold's Movie Night 6/19/06

A few of us went to movie night at our favorite Houston Brew House. Terminator 2 was playing which gave us some good material for drinking games. And our parting gift was a six pack of Spring Bock, could not ask for a better way to end the evening:)
