Oh.
After my qualifying exams are over, I'm going to make a big cookbook document out of all this stuff. Every recipe. Oh yeah. And a table of contents.
This is the shit...God is it something people will remember. MMMMmmmm. Don't make it more than 2 inches high or it won't rise because it's so heavy. Make 3 2 inch cakes and pile 'em up. Then, put a big Go Gators on there:

Im the only one in my house that likes red velvet cake.. otherwise Id probably run to the store right now.. lol
I have several recipes I came up with to help me lose weight. Low cal, low sodium stuff that still tastes pretty good. Not sure how many would be interested in that kind of stuff tho.
LOL. Most gumbos don't have okra.
gumbo with no okra. Now that's one I can eat. There's not but 1 veggie that I despise and that's bowled okry. That's some nasty shyte.
The Lasagna receipe;
1- pound of ground beef
1- pound of Italian sausage (hot or mild)
1- 32 ounce of prego pasta sauce
1- 24 cottage cheese or 16 ounce ricotta cheese
2- 12 pkgs of Mozzarella shredded cheese
2- eggs
1 cup of Parmesan cheese
1 pkg of Lasagna noodles
1 cake size pan
Brown the ground beef and the italian sausage( without the casing on the sausage) together and drain. Put the jar of the pasta sauce in the ground beef and let simmer for 10 minutes.
In a large pan, boil the lasagna noodles in water with one tablespoon of cooking oil (this prevents the water from boiling over). Drain the noodles.
In a separate bowl MIX the cottage cheese or ricotta cheese together with the 2 eggs and 3/4 cup of the Parmesan cheese.
Now with the pan, place a small layer of the meat sauce on the bottom of the pan, then spread the noodles over it and start with the layers.
Noodles then the meat sauce, the cottage cheese layer, then the noodles, meat sauce and the cottage cheese layer again....repeat this until it reaches the top.
Bake at 375 degrees until brown on the top which takes about 30 minutes or so. After it is finished, let it sit for 10 minutes and it will remain hot but will slice much better.
this recipe is so much better with the cottage cheese btw. i include both because i know some people prefer ricotta
go okra!
im trying to keep cost down. prego is the best lower priced option
