RECIPE: Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Rollups

I've been dying to try this recipe ever since I found it on Pinterest. I was worried I might mess it up but managed to make it work by taking it slow. I've never made lasagna, so I was proud of myself for pulling this one off. 

Chicken Alfredo Lasagna Roll Ups

You can find the original pinned post at Mmm...Cafe.

Ingredients

9 lasagna noodles

2 1/2 cups Alfredo sauce

2 cups cooked chicken, shredded

oregano

garlic salt

3 cups shredded mozzarella (or cheese of your choice)

1. Pour a 1/2 cup of Alfredo sauce in a 8" x 8" greased dish or just enough to cover the bottom of the dish.

2. Boil 8-10 cups of water and cook lasagna noodles until al dente.
3. Drain and rinse noodles with cold water to prevent them from sticking to each other and lay each out individually. Blot dry.
4. Spread approximately two tablespoons of Alfredo sauce over each noodle. Sprinkle oregano and garlic salt on top of sauce.

5. Spread shredded chicken out over each noodle. (The recipe says 1/9th of the chicken for each noodle, but I never measure that type of stuff out.)

6. Add approximately three tablespoons of cheese. 

7. To roll up the noodles, start at one end and roll the noodle over the toppings.

8. Place the roll ups in the pan layered with sauce, one by one with seam down.

9. Pour the remaining Alfredo sauce over the roll ups and top with remaining cheese.

10. Bake in a preheated oven at 350 degrees for 30 minutes or until the cheese on top is completely melted.

Voila!

The finished product:

I had a lot of fun making this recipe and it was quite tasty, too. If you're a fan of Chicken Alfredo, you should try this twist on a classic Italian dish.

Julep Mavens

I am insanely obsessed with Julep's nail polish. 

A Julep Maven is someone who subscribes to receive two bottles of nail polish + one additional beauty related item in the mail every month. The monthly subscription is $19.99, and one bottle of polish is $14.99 all by itself. So, the subscription box is quite a STEAL.  The polish is very high quality (the polish in the picture below lasted a full 10 days before I noticed a single chip), unique, and each bottle is named after strong women.

*The additional item has been anything from pedicure cream, to cuticle remover, to fast drying drops, to mascara.

You fill out a profile, just like you do when you sign up for any other subscription box. Your answers will create your Beauty Profile. There are 4 different profile assignments:  American Beauty, Boho Glam, Bombshell, and Classic with a Twist.

I'm a Classic with a Twist. The great thing about Julep is that it doesn't really matter what your profile is because you can login during a particular time frame and view next month's products. If you like the products from another profile better than the products in yours, you can opt to receive that profile's products instead. PLUS, when you're a bit short on cash or not too crazy about the products featured that month, you can choose to opt out altogether!

Love, love, love, love, love.

ALSO, a random, select few of lucky Mavens are sent a Golden Box each month. The box is gold (duh!) and filled with the polishes and products from all FOUR  profiles that month. I dreamed that I found one in my mailbox the day I learned this existed. Seriously.

Here are some of my past goodies.

I'm pretty sure this was my first box.

MY LOVE LIST

I thought I'd make a list of things I love to survive this Monday (which I DON'T love).

Cold peanut butter M&Ms.

The smell of freshly cut grass.

Monster Lo-Carb Energy Drinks.

Those good 'ole Clemson Tigers.
(Even when they break my heart.)

Unexpected phone calls from old friends.

Back country roads with the windows rolled down, the wind in my hair, and the music blasting through the speakers. (It's, hands down, the number one thing I miss about my hometown.)

Catching a whiff of a random scent that takes me back to my childhood.
Examples: Avon Skin So Soft takes me back to Camp Pine Hill because we smothered ourselves in the stuff to keep the mosquitoes away at night; Banana Pudding takes me back to weekends spent at my Granny & Granddaddy; Old Dusty Buildings take me back to elementary school

Dogs. All dogs.

Dancing and singing.

Hippies. The music, the peace, the clothes, the hair, the groovy-ness.

Sitcoms. Sitcoms. Sitcoms. Reality TV is for the birds.

The real, raw truth. Memoirs and journals. Biographies about real people who've beaten addiction or overcome a debilitating mental illness. I'm in total awe of the strength they must possess to tackle those demons head on. 

Freckles, and scars, and all of the stuff that makes us unique.

Drinking out of plastic cups. No glass, plastic only.

Accents.

Corny jokes. Hearing someone laugh at whatever silly thing I've said is the stuff my dreams are made of.

T-shirts, cut off's, and flip flops. I'd wear nothing else if I could; you can keep the dresses.
