Petite lasagnas- try them you'll like them!

It's a beautiful morning in Chicago. My goal was to sleep in until 8a, but I woke up wide-eyed at 5:41a. I've already had a productive morning. I got and spent time doing my devotions and found out it had been too long since I have spent a significant time with God. I am making it my #1 priority this week. Last night Sten and I went to Willow Creek, and it was amazing. I love that church mostly because the heart of the church beats for the ones who are lost. I want to emulate that in my own life. I want to 'be about that' more than I ever have before. Driving home Sten and I couldn't wait for dinner. Before church I prepared everything to make these tasty morsels (from this amazing blog) so I could pop them in the oven when we got home. OH boy are they good! So fun to eat too. Enjoy!

Finished product... gooey, Italiany, and perfect.
I added the spinach for a little something extra, and omitted the mushrooms because Sten doesn't like them :)
First layer: wonton wrappers, ricotta cheese mixture.
Second layer: ground turkey, tomato, spinach, onion mixture
Third layer: a sprinkle of mozzarella cheese.
Then, REPEAT!... Pop in the oven @ 375, for 10 mins.
Delicious and adorable.

Here's the recipe:
12 oz. ground turkey
1/4 tsp salt, pepper
1 onion, chopped
14.5 oz. can crushed tomatoes- I used diced, because it was all I had
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tsp oregano
1/2 tsp dried basil
1/2 cup mushrooms, or spinach or both
1 1/2 cup ricotta cheese- I used low fat
24 small square wonton wrappers (found near the tofu, in the refrigerated section)

Preheat oven to 375.
In a skillet brown ground turkey, onion, salt and pepper for about 10 mins, add garlic
Add tomatoes and oregano, bring to a boil, then reduce and let simmer for 10 mins
In a sep bowl, combine: ricotta, salt and pepper and basil (I also added parmesan cheese, and garlic salt)
Spray muffin tin
Place 1 wonton wrapper and press down- then start layering: ricotta mix, turkey mix, mozzarella, then repeat.
Bake 10 mins!

I hope you try these. They are amazing, and easy. Happy Sunday.
xoxo.

back 2 school. back at it. back to reality 2026

We eeeked out every last drop until it was time to head back to school on Wednesday. Annual tradition trip to Lucette after Meet the Teacher is the photo above. Happy to report that everyone did great the first 3 days of school- although I don't know if we're quite ready for a full 5 day week starting tomorrow :) Sten took the boys to Michigan to go to his cousins daughters wedding and they did something that Sten introduced me to when we were dating and on staff together at PLCBC- diving for golf balls! The boys thought it was a blast and I love that they got a bright blue -sunny -skies day to make the water look turquoise and the ball finding easy. While the boys were gone Lucy and I whooped it up! We went to the first Hudson football game... Went to the Glenwood City Rodeo.... AND drove to Iowa to see Josiah Queen at the Iowa State Fair!  Fun is an understatement to describe this little getaway and I feel so lucky we got to do this together. Then it was BACK TO REALITY! holy...

bookends/ teacher things/fall poem

The bookends of my day yesterday was God's way of showing me that I am going to be ok. This picture from my solo run in the morning was absolutely perfect. Cold hands, fast road miles, worship music and a text from a friend right in the middle of it saying that I was top of her prayer list that morning. Then in the evening the boys were outside playing waffle ball and Lucy was walking around the neighborhood with friends and I cranked up my music and cleaned the entire middle/lower level. I stopped at one point and thought-- this is the biggest gift right now.  Other things: I love pens. and there is something so satisfying about having every single color of felt tip/ gel tip at your disposal. lol. Life touch teacher photos--why is my ear showing so much? Is this what I always look like? Haley hosted the Badland Babes for some brunch after our Willow run on Saturday and she made THE most delicious food, didn't know I needed a bonfire until I was sitting in this chair eating thi...

Merry Christmas 2022

I am in complete denial that an entire year has passed! Where did 2022 go?! We celebrated some big milestones, had a lot of fun, and enjoyed our family most. Here are some highlights and lessons learned from 2022.  So. Much. Swimming! Lesson learned: ALWAYS get in the water. You’ll never regret it. Your kids will love you for it and you’ll make way more memories from inside the water than up on the boat. This day was particularly special as we were all together with Uncle Dan and Aunt Pam. We swam, we ate, we boated and we didn’t want the day to end. Having mom and dad move permanently to the Lake has been the BEST.  Midcurrent MOVED! We raised the money, hired the people, decorated and paved the way for more people to get to know Jesus. Before the carpet was laid we wrote prayers on the floor and I am so excited to see what 2023 will bring for Midcurrent. Lesson learned: do the big thing! Give people a chance to show up and see what God can do! Family camp is ALWAYS a highlig...
