Tasty Tuesday ~ Chicken Alfredo Lasagna



This is from the Nashville Needlework Market cookbook, by Lucy Galgano

Ingredients
1 lb lasagna noodles
2 cups cooked and shredded chicken
2 jars of Alfredo sauce
1.5 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 tsp garlic powder
1 tsp onion powder
1 tsp Italian seasoning
salt and pepper to taste
4 cups fresh spinach, washed and chopped (I just used frozen, and added in the amount I wanted)


Directions
Preheat oven to 375. Cook lasagna noodles. Mix shredded chicken, alfredo sauce, garlic powder, onion powder, Italian seasoning, salt and pepper in a bowl.

Layer chicken mixture, noodles and spinach (again I just mixed mine in with all of the above) in a 9 x 13 pan. Top with remaining Alfredo, sprinkle with cheese.

Bake covered for 25 minutes, then removed tinfoil and bake an additional 25 minutes, until golden brown.

Tuesday 4 Meme ~ First Things First



I am happy to see that Annie from Cottage by the Sea is continuing on with the Tuesday 4 that Toni started.

Questions will be up for you here at 9PM on Sunday nights which will give enough time to answer and post on your own blog on Tuesdays.


First Things First...

Hello! It's a new week and another installment of Toni Taddeo's Tuesday 4. I debated over the word episode and ended up with installment but I am still not satisfied. Oh well, here is is whatever it is and I do hope you enjoy joining in. Let's talk about firsts in your life.




1. Do you remember your first pair of grown up style shoes, maybe high heels? How did that go? oh boy, probably 6th grade for some school function, or for Easter, but I can't remember

2. When was your first date and do you recall their name and where you went and what you did? Todd, went to McD's for a quick pop in to see the gang, then off to see Crocodile Dundee

3. Do you have any memories of your first job? oh the memories I have from working at McDonald's.... the crew I worked with was the best, and the majority of them I am still friends with today.

4. What do you remember about your first home away from Mom and Dad? It was when I went to college and was in a dorm room with 3 other gals.
