Do you see what I see? Loch ness monster sea horse?

I’m guessing this was soy sauce. I don’t actually remember and I don’t have a picture of whatever the dish was before I ate it even.
I suppose the pictures in the sauce were just more interesting.
Do you see what I’m looking at?

See it? It really makes me think of a sea horse….the head and neck area. But the shape of the whole thing is much more loch ness monster-ish.

Cats sleeping in food boxes

A while back, I posted about the cats liking the food for sleeping places. Here’s a shot of the other kitty doing the same:

Mini wonton lasagnas – Dinner, bentos, or midnight snacks

What does it mean to find a huge tub of ricotta cheese on clearance for under 3 bucks? Lasagna time, of course!
Knowing that we were limiting dairy, I assumed I would toss these lasagnas straight into the freezer. Instead, I only used a thin layer of ricotta and no other cheese, and they turned out too good to not eat fresh.
Wanna make your own? Just use your favorite lasagna recipe and sub in eggroll or wonton wrappers. As Squirrel Bread says, wontons are the new black, and I use ‘em like crazy around here. For these, I just cut my wrappers in half, layered as usual, and skipped the fuss of precooking noodles or wondering if I cooked the dish long enough to avoid crunchy pasta.
When I originally bought these tins (on major sale, might I add), I thought they’d be great to fix all sorts of mini-this-or-thats in. I assumed I’d cut them in half and be able to toss various dishes into the girls’ lunchboxes.
Instead, I realized they’re roughly 2-cup tins and they’re perfect for building fast bentos right in them. Maybe not the most creative, but it opened up a whole new set of ideas of foods I could bake, toss in the freezer, and have ready in a flash for lunches.
And yes, I snacked on these a few times. Leaving them cold or barely heating them up turned them into easy, hand-held craving-satisfiers. Yum!
