Today I

Made Three New Recipes

One for the adults. One for the baby. One for the cats. (Yes, cats.)
Since I’ll be cooking all this week, I want to try a few new recipes. (So you may see several this week.)

Recipe #1: (Adults) This one was so easy, I couldn’t believe it. Brown 1 pound of hamburger meat and add one cup of spaghetti sauce. While that is going, unroll a can of crescent rolls and put them in a cake or pie pan (press the long ends together to form a crust and let the pointed sides hang out over the edge of the pan about 3 inches. Cover the bottom with a cup of shredded Italian cheese. Add the meat mixture. Fold in the tips of the crescent rolls to come to a point in the middle (don’t overlap). Sprinkle a little cheese and basil on top. Bake at 350 for 15-20 minutes or until golden brown. So tasty.

Recipe #2: (Baby) Melt 2 Tbsp of butter and sauté 1 cup of sliced leek. Add 2 small potatoes and 1 medium carrot (peeled and chopped, of course). Pour in 1 ¼ cups of vegetable or chicken stock. After bringing it to a boil, cover, reduce heat, and simmer for 10 minutes. Add ½ cup of frozen peas and cook for 6 more minutes. Puree. (Note: in solid form this was a great side dish for me and hubs.)

Recipe #3 (Cats): 1 can of tuna, 1 Tbsp of catnip, 1 egg, 1 Tbsp of olive oil – Blend, spoon onto cookie sheet, and bake at 350 for 10 minutes (or so). Let cool.

Watch your cats not eat them. (Argh.)
