I make a skillet lasagna recipe on top of the stove. It can be ready in half an hour. Brown ground beef and onions, add a 28 oz. jar of marinara, 2 cups water, 8 oz. lasagna noodles broken into bite sized pieces (do one noodle at a time for less mess). Cover the pan and cook the lasagna noodles about 18 minutes until tender. When the noodles are done, turn off the heat, stir in ricotta or cottage cheese (about 1 1/2 cups) and mozzarella (1-2 cups). Cover the pan and let the cheeses melt. Top with parmesan if desired.
This simple recipe can be endlessly varied. I make it without meat and use veggies or meal starter (textured vegetable protein, a ground beef substitute). ... View related article.
Personally, I find it very believable that someone would not know every item in one's freezer and that would not qualify a person for home care!!! Coupons can indeed lure us into buying something we don't ordinarily buy and then hook us on that item. Money spent is not money saved; that is very true. I also agree that people can save money with coupons and many comments illustrate how that is done. I was not put off by this post and found it very helpful.
