Petite Lasagnas

Medically reviewed by Christiana George Updated Date: December 16, 2022

So I was trying to make these Petite Lasagnas but I went to 2 grocery stores and couldn’t find any wonton wrappers.  So I grabbed some crescent rolls and hoped for the best. I took out 2 triangles of crescent rolls and rolled over them with my handy dandy Pampered Chef roller to make 1 rectangle, which I cut in half and placed in each muffin cup. I don’t know if it was me or the muffin pan, but I couldn’t fit 2 layers in each muffin cup.  Again improvising, I just covered the scoop of ricotta mix and ground turkey mix with another piece of crescent roll, covered it with a little sauce and sprinkled on some mozzarella. 

They looked a little something like this

They actually tasted quite good.  Hubby, sweet pea and bubsy liked them.  So I guess I will make them again. 



Petite Lasagnas

recipe slightly adapted from Hungry Girl
(makes 12)
12 oz raw ground turkey
¼ tsp salt, divided
¼ tsp pepper
1 cup chopped onion
½ cup chopped mushrooms
14.5 oz can crushed tomatoes, or tomato sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 tsp dried oregano, divided
½ tsp dried basil
1 ½ cups part skim ricotta cheese
24 small square wonton wrappers (the kind near the tofu in the refrigerated section of the produce dept)
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Preheat oven to 375ºF. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the turkey, onions, mushrooms, salt, and pepper. Crumble the meat and saute the mixture for about 10 minutes, or until the turkey is cooked through. Add the garlic and stir constantly for 30 seconds.
Add the crushed tomatoes and 2 tsp of oregano. Bring the pan to a gentle boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
In a large bowl, combine the ricotta, a pinch of salt and pepper, the remaining teaspoon of oregano, and the basil. Stir to mix well. Set aside.
Coat a 12-cup muffin tin with nonstick cooking spray. Place 1 wonton wrapper into each of the 12 cups, pressing firmly in the bottom of the cup and up the sides.
Using half of the ricotta mixture, divide it among the 12 muffin cups. Next, using half of the turkey tomato sauce, spoon it evenly over each of the ricotta filled cups. Sprinkle with 2 tsp of mozzarella.
Gently press another wonton wrapper on top of the mozzarella layer.
Repeat the process by distributing the remaining ricotta, then the remaining tomato sauce, and finally the rest of the shredded mozzarella.
Bake for 10 minutes, or until the cheese has melted.
Let the cups cool, remove them from the pan, and serve!

Jello Popsicles

Christiana George

Nostalgia.  I love that word.  It just sounds so cool and I love all that is associated with it, words, feelings, thoughts, and memories.  These Jello Popsicles are definitely nostalgic.  I remember my mom making these every summer of my childhood.  She made them in her Tupperware popsicle molds.  They look like these, but they were a cloudy greyish color.  Anyone remember those?

Now I get to make these for my kids.  I don’t have the Tupperware molds.  I think my mom threw them out because my three brothers and I chewed up the part that sticks into the popsicles.  Apparently she raised a bunch of animals.  Well, my brothers at least.

I did find these neat ring pop popsicle molds at TJ Maxx.  They are made by Tovolo.  I originally saw them here. I just happened to run into them at TJ Maxx while browsing the aisles.  Who doesn’t love ring pops?



As for the Jello Popsicles.  All you need is Jello and water.  You can use the regular Jello or the sugar-free kind.  Just mix the Jello powder with the water the same as you would to make Jello gelatin, only this time put in popsicle molds and freeze it.  It doesn’t get any easier.  One box of Jello goes a long way.  My assistant and I filled all these molds with two boxes of Jello. If you have leftover mix, just put it in a bowl and put it in the fridge to make regular gelatin.

I have learned to mix my Jello in a container that pours.  This makes less of a mess to get the mixture into the molds.  This on is from The Pampered Chef.

You will have to let the Jello freeze for a few hours.  I usually leave it overnight.

These ring pops are so cute.  I am going to have to get some more Tovolo popsicle molds.

These guys were really excited about their new ring pop popsicles.  We made red ones, blue ones and green ones.  It’s nice to see they bring a smile to my children’s faces like they used to for my brothers and I.
