Creamy White Chicken Lasagna Roll Ups

Ingredients

9 lasagna noodles
2 cups boneless, skinless chicken breast, cooked and shredded*
8 oz. shredded Mozzarella cheese, divided (2 cups)
1 oz. finely shredded Parmesan cheese (1/4 cup)
1 oz. finely shredded Romano cheese (1/4 cup) 1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley
2 (8 oz) pkg. cream cheese, softened
1 cup milk
1 1/2 tsp dried basil 1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp onion powder
salt and pepper, to taste

Directions

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.

Prepare lasagna noodles according to the directions listed on package, drain pasta and align noodles in a single layer on a large sheet of wax paper.

In a mixing bowl toss together shredded chicken, 1 cup Mozzarella cheese, Parmesan cheese, Romano cheese and 3 Tbsp fresh parsley, set aside.

In a separate mixing bowl using an electric hand mixer set on low speed, blend cream cheese until smooth, then mix in milk, dried basil, garlic powder, onion powder and season with salt and pepper to taste (I hardly used any salt and 1/2 tsp pepper). Pour half of the cream cheese mixture into the chicken mixture and toss to evenly coat, reserve remaining cream cheese mixture. Spread 1/3 cup of the chicken mixture into an even layer along the length of each cooked lasagna noodle then roll noodles to opposite end.

Spread 1/4 cup of the remaining cream cheese mixture along the bottom of a 9 x 9-inch dish or along 2/3 of a 13 x 9-inch dish (I tried fitting it into an 8 x 8 and it just wasn't going to happen so a 9 x 9 should work. I don't own a 9 x 9 so I had to compromise and use a 13 x 9 and just use 2/3 of the dish). Align pasta snugly and side by side in baking dish - 3 rows of 3. Cover each lasagna roll evenly with remaining cream cheese mixture, being sure to cover tops of pasta entirely so they don't dry while baking. Sprinkle tops evenly with remaining 1 cup Mozzarella cheese. Bake in preheated oven 25 - 30 minutes until heated through and cheese has melted. Sprinkle top evenly with remaining 1 Tbsp chopped fresh parsley. Serve warm.

Sweetheart Cake

In our little town we have a valentines dance! Its always a blast, at the dance they have a cake walk. I volunteered to make a cake. The day of the dance I became ill and couldn't even get out of bed. My sweet amazing husband told me not to worry about the cake he had it covered... My husband did everything!!!! 

He decided he wanted to make a sweetheart box with the hearts coming out of the box... Amazing he thought of it all on his own! I know its no cake boss but I love it! 

So what we (I am just going to say we) did was made a chocolate cake and let it cool all the way. Next we made the fondant. Super easy, marshmallows, powered sugar and cisco. Then we rolled out the fondant into two different areas one for white and one for pink/red. Just used red food coloring and work it in. Then cover the cake with lots of frosting :) Lay the white fondant over it,  cut out the heart from the pink. Make the little details. Now for the box flap to keep it open we used gram crackers.... covered them with frosting and fondant.  Then stuff with candy hearts and all done :) It was really cute and I just took a bunch of pictures cause I am so proud of my husband :)

Happy Valentines Day!!!!

Valentines Wreath Part 2

I finished my wreath this took me forever but I LOVE it!!!! As stephy said I used crate paper. I did all different sizes and shapes (more because I couldn't get them to all look alike). I have had a ton of people comment on how cute it is!

I am going to cover what you need again

-Crate Paper

-Styrofoam board

-Box Cutter Knife

-Glue Gun (Lots Of It)

-Beads/Pearls (something for a feeler)

-Ribbon (to tie on door)

-Fist measure your board to your door make sure your board isn't going to be to big for your door. Then measure to get a nice square and cut, then measure your middle square. I wanted my square in the middle to be larger then thought. 

-Next I put on a chick-flick movie and started to make my roses. I would just make one at a time and put them in my bowl. So many roses! This is what took my forever!!! I am sorry I don't have pictures to teach you how to make the roses :( they are really easy once you get going! 

-After I got most of my roses made I started glueing them on the board. (thank goodness for stephy, she came and helped me) I just put the hot glue on the board and put the roses on. Make sure you put the roses right next to each other or your going to have the board showing throught and your going to have to make fillers. It just easier to push them close together. 

-Next glue your pearls/beads on. I glued some random beads through out roses to fill in and to give it a little something something :)

-Tie your ribbon and and your are done... :) 

I Hope you enjoy this as much as I do!!!! Happy Valentines Day!
