About Me

I moved out of my parents in June 2007, since then I have been trying to perfect my art of cooking/baking. According to my husband, I am getting there. In here you will be able to find recipes for all tastes (except for fish and seafood lovers, fish and I don't get along, and my husband is allergic to most shellfish). I hope you enjoy your experience here and I trust that you will find something to suit your taste buds!

Lasagna in a cup

I recently decided to join Pinterest after being reluctant because I didn't understand the concept. But my persistent sister-in-law told me to try it and to explore and that's what I did. I found this recipe on there and oh was it ever so good!


So I promise I will try and work on my presentation of this food, to make it look even more appetizing.

So these were so easy to make, it took about 30 minutes from the time I got off the couch to the time we sat down to eat! I tried two different styles since the recipe was not very clear as to how many wonton noodles to use. By the way, for all those that think that wonton noodles might be hard to find, think again! Most grocery stores carry them and they usually are in the fridges close to the produce section, usually with the salads in a bag.
Alright, so my two experiments were if I should put wonton, sauce, ricotta and mozarella to finish it off or just wonton and mozarella. After having tried both of those I prefer the wonton, sauce, ricotta and mozarella, it made it less crunchy, which I guess some people might like crunchy better. I also did not put any meat, to my husband's disappointment (he still liked it), but you could add ground beef or more veggies to the sauce. All in all it was a delish recipe that will definitely be made again in our house!

My friend came over last night and ate with us and she approved of them and even had a great idea, they could be made for a potluck since they are almost finger foods!

Ingredients:
marinara sauce (or whatever canned/homemade sauce you want, I used a can 'cause I was lazy)
ricotta cheese
mozzarella cheese
Parmesan cheese
wonton wraps
Italian seasoning
ground beef/sausage (if desired)

Simply spray the cupcake pan with Pam & place one won ton wrap in each cup.  Next layer sauce & cheeses, then repeat.  Sprinkle with Italian seasonings & bake at 375 degrees for 18-20 minutes.  Let cool for 5 minutes & pop out with a knife. 
Depending on your appetite, figure 2-4 cups per person for a hearty dinner. (I had two and my husband had 5 served with Ceasar salad)
