Lasagna Subs
Here is what you will need:
6 sub rolls
2 cups Spaghetti Sauce with Meat*
1/2 cup sour cream (or ricotta cheese if you prefer)
1 egg white (don't use if you use ricotta)
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
1/2 tsp salt
2 cups Mozzarella cheese, divided
1/4 cup Parmesan cheese
Preheat oven to 350.
Slice off the tops of the sub rolls, thin. Then scoop out the bread from the inside.
Spoon some spaghetti sauce into the rolls.
In a mixing bowl, combine the sour cream, egg white, spices, salt and 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Spoon over the spaghetti sauce.
Sprinkle a little Parmesan cheese and mozzarella cheese over top.
Add the bread top back on. Place into a foil pouch and bake for 25-30 minutes.
Prepare small, simple side salad.
I originally found this recipe on $5 Dinners
EVERYONE in my family decided it was a KEEPER. It's so good! Close to a meatball sub, in fact I might add some Italian sausage to it next time!
Y'all try this one out, you will love it! :-)
*Spaghetti Sauce(doubled so you can freeze some for later)
1lb lean ground beef
4 (15oz) cans tomato sauce
1 (6oz) cans tomato paste
2tsp dried basil
1 tsp sugar
1 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp garlic powder
Brown ground beef, drain
Add everything else and bring to a boil, turn to low heat and let simmer 30-45 minutes.

May 18th- A day of Blessings!
Today was a GREAT day!!!!!! The blessings have poured down on me, and I have thanked the Lord over and over!
Today started out with Big Daddy taking my van to be looked at because it been making a whining noise AND the engine light was on. We knew we wouldn't be able to afford to get much done but, we needed to see what was wrong with it! Turns out it was the EGR valve/gasket AND the power steering reservoir(If you know what these are raise your hand) HA HA!
Anyways all I heard was 524 DOLLARS!!! HOLY COW! We don't have an extra 500 just laying around!
By the grace of God the guy checked it out AND FIXED IT FOR FREE!! FREE!!! WOW!!
Between one friend giving me clothes, one friend giving Brother shoes, and now this?!? My faith in the Lord and in people is coming back! :-)
Big Daddy and I decided to go to Maryville to do some shopping later in the day. As we were getting ready to go out I was thinking that Brother needed another little light jacket because the one he had was getting a little snug. And I thought to myself that I would pick one up at a yard sale.
So we get to Target and we are walking through the parking lot and I see a piece of paper on the ground, as we get closer I see "FREE". Big Daddy almost stepped on it and I about had a conniption trying to move him to get to it!
Milano Melts Mmmm Mmmm Good! :-) Especially when they are FREE!!!
Who loses FREE COUPONS?? Come on People no effort in that! Thank you though!
After I tucked that FREE coupon SAFELY in my coupon binder we get in the store and I make a b-line for the clearance racks! I'm looking though and everything is 4,5,8,10 (In CLEARANCE) then I found it! The perfect little jacket
It says "ROCKER"
Was $8 and I got it for $2. Yes I realize that I could have got it at a yard sale cheaper! But it's new, it's cute, and Brother said he wanted it...LOL That's my story and I'm stickin to it!
Speaking of Brother...How about some before and after? OK BEFORE:
AND AFTER:
His little curles are in a bag and he looks more like a "big boy". (Not to say it won't be grown back out) :-)
We actually didn't do this today but had just remembered I forgot to share!
Tonight my Baby Girl lost her first tooth! She was very brave and I was so proud of her!
She was so excited and jumping around it was hard to get a picture!
Speaking of pictures she got her school pictures back today...Thanks YaYa and Papa!

It's not ALL coupons...
I have spoke of coupons and yard sales but there is more!! :-)
This is what I got in the mail yesterday and today:
2 Mary Janes Farm magazines (THANKS YAYA)
Purex with Zout sample with a $1 coupon
Fusion ProGlide razor (FREE Sample with 2-$2 coupons)
H2O Sea Pure Deep Moisture Cream Sample
About a week ago I told Big Daddy I needed some clothes. None of my clothes fit me lately :(
I wanted to go rummaging but gas is just crazy and I drive a van...
So, today I was talking to a friend of mine and she said she had some clothes she was getting rid of and did I want them? Free clothes? Heck ya!! THANK YOU TO MY VERY GIVING FRIEND!! :-)
This is just some of the clothes, ask and ye shall receive! Very blessed!
And I ran in to Walmart today while I was out
Spent $5.21 and Saved $10
Lysol Toilet cleaner (.97)
Pull-Up wipes (.64each)
2 Black Flag Fly Swatters (FREE + .03 overage)
2 Black Flag Fly strips (FREE +.03 overage) I think these things are nasty...HOWEVER we have a basement and usually when we go down there the door gets left open while we are down there. So flys and mosquitoes get in. So these will go in the basement for that.
Lunchable with Fruit ($1.76) My Walgreens was out of the FREE ones and Sissy was driving me nuts wanting one so I gave in!
