Memorial for Henry

We planted a knock out rose bush over looking Henry’s favorite place to hang out. He loved the pool, many days I would look out and there he would be sitting in the pool cooling off and waiting for someone to join him.

It was especially fun when his Uncle Randy came over & sat pool side with him.

Friends would stop by to swim.

Yes, he has left us with a lot of fun and wonderful memories.

 

Not just for your pets, keepsake pendants to show your love.

Show you love for your pet on a pendant, that you can wearand have for a keepsake forever.

Big Guy, I sure do miss you!

Henry you were a big guy both in size and personality.

I’ll share one story about Henry. It took Henry a few obedience classes to finally come home with a basic training certificate.  At one point Gail the trainer gave us an assignment sheet to go home and work on over the summer and give Henry some time to mature.  At the top of the sheet it said.  “Henry English Mastiff with Jack Russell attitude” , well he never matured and never lost that Jack Russell attitude, he was to the last day a puppy at heart with lots of energy.

Miss you, big guy.

We love you Beemer!

This past Saturday Beemer was out raising money for the local humane society.

A BIG thank you to Beemer, her Mom Joey, and BMW of Asheville for all they do for the Asheville Humane Society in Asheville, NC.  Beemer raised $10,000 for the Humane Society last year and is on her way to raising more this year.

Thankful for all we have.

I love the change of seasons and what it brings us.

Chicken and Spinach Lasagna

• 1 box lasagna noodles
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 1/2 cup chopped onion
• 1 pound ground chicken
• 4 cups tomato sauce
• 2 cup sliced fresh mushrooms
• 3 tablespoons Italian seasoning
• 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
• 6 cups chopped fresh spinach
• 2 cups fat-free ricotta cheese
• 1/4 teaspoon ground nutmeg
• 2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

1. Preheat an oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
2. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook lasagna noodles in boiling water for 8 to 10 minutes. Drain noodles, and rinse with cold water.
3. Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 2 minutes. Add ground chicken and cook 5 to 7 minutes more, stirring to break up any large chunks of meat. Stir in tomato sauce, mushrooms, Italian seasoning, black pepper, and garlic powder. Simmer for 2 minutes and season to taste.
4. Combine spinach, ricotta, and nutmeg in a large bowl.
5. To assemble, arrange 3 noodles lengthwise in the bottom of a greased 9×13 inch baking dish. Spread with 1/3 the ricotta mixture, 1/3 of the turkey mixture, and 1/3 of the mozzarella. Repeat layers, ending with remaining mozzarella. Bake in preheated oven for 25 minutes. Cool for 5 minutes before serving.

I have also made this with rotisserie chicken or ground turkey.
