Veggie Lasagna

Lunch was great today. I had half a pan of veggie lasagna leftover from last night's church gathering, (made with fresh veggies from my garden) so we had that, salad, & I tried a new recipe, Biscuit Sticks. Here's my recipe for Veggie Lasagna, (with no cheese for vegans) & the link for the Biscuit Sticks (I added garlic salt to mine.) With everything the meal cost about $1.00 per plate

Veggie Lasagna

1 zuchinni, diced
1 yellow squash, diced
1 bell pepper, diced
1 tsp chopped garlic
1 can crushed tomatoes
6 oven ready lasagna noodles, (I soak mine in hot water)
1/4 c. water
Italian seasoning
garlic Salt

In skillet, heat 1 tbsp olive oi, saute veggies until soft. Add tomatoes, salt, seasoning, & water. Layer in 2 quart baking dish, veggies & noodles, ending with veggies. Sprinkle top with cheese if desired. Bake at 425 degrees for 40-45 minutes or until noodles are done. Serves 4

Cucumber Salad

I have a massive amount of cucumbers coming from my garden! In addition are cabbage, squash, tomatoes, zuchinni, & peppers. I don't can (need to learn) so what I don't cook I give our friends at church. And we have been going to lots of fish fry's & picnics so I always take my Cucumber Salad, it's great (if you like cukes!)

Cucumber Salad

2 large cucumbers, skin on, sliced thick
1/4 onion, sliced
1 c. vinegar
1 tbsp water
1 pkt Splenda (or use sugar)
1/2 tsp dry dill
pepper
garlic salt

Combine all together & let chill overnight for best flavor.

Summer Fun

The girls & I went to the library today. I sometimes forget that the library is a great frugal fun house! They have books, DVD's, & CD's all free to check out. And unlike movie rental stores, if you don't take them back for 2 -3 weeks the only charge is something like 50 cents.
Most libraries have summer programs. My mom takes my nephew every Thursday & they have an activity like a magician or they watch a movie. They also give coupons for free food from local resturaunts.

Free Samples

One of my favorite sites is http://www.freegrabber.com/ Everyday they have new direct links to get free samples. It's great. Today I got 2 Pullups, samples of Huggies Baby wash & shampoo, & a sample of Fiber One Carmel Delight Cereal.

$30 worth of stuff for $3.84!

Went to Walmart while visiting mom & walked away with all this for $3.84 using my coupons. The guy at the register was amazed.
