#Recipe: Homemade Italian Seasoned Bread Crumbs
Why should you go to the grocery store and spend good money on breadcrumbs? You shouldn’t! You can save a decent amount of money with little effort. The nice thing is you know how fresh yours are. Give this super simple and quick recipe a try. You will never buy packaged again. This recipe yields a tad over 2 cups of brad crumbs. It’s a very simple recipe that you can make in larger quantities. I made Chicken Parmesan and I was out so… I have to make more! I hope you like this one!

Recipe: Fast and Easy Lasagna Roll-Ups
I absolutely love lasagna! Some days I just don’t have the 3 hours it takes me to make it. Yes, it is taken very seriously in my home! I came up with this easy way to still get my lasagna fix without spending all that time in the kitchen.
All you have to do is cook your lasagna pasta as indicated on the box. Spread some Ricotta cheese on it, add some sauce and mozzarella. You can also sprinkle some cooked ground beef or sausage on it as well if you like. Roll it up, put a little sauce in the bottom of your baking dish so they don’t stick and spoon a little sauce over the top of each one. Sprinkle with mozzarella cheese and bake at 325 for about 30 minutes. Since every thing is already cooked, you really only are wanting to melt the cheese and warm it up. Be sure you let them sit at least 5 minutes after removing them from the oven. If you try to eat them right away, they will completely fall apart when you try to cut them. These are also good to make ahead and reheat for lunch.
