As many of you can see, I changed the name of my blog, it was known as "From my Table to your Tummy" and is now known as "Always Kiss the Cook."
Why the name change you might ask? Well, one of my favorite parts of the meal, besides the eating of course, is when my husband gives me a kiss and says "THAT was delicious."
So, I suggest if you like the meal, make sure to Always Kiss the Cook!

Bread Bowl Lasagna
I had this fabulous dish at Za! Minnesotan in Forest Lake. I adored it and even took home my leftovers so I could pull this apart and figure out how to make it at home! It was easier than I thought!
For the bread bowl.
loaves of white bread. figure about 1/3 to 1/2 of a loaf per person I used 1/3 of a bowl and it worked perfect (1/2 will make a large bowl). I took the bread dough out of the freeze and let it thaw for around 4 hours. After that I seperated the loaves in to 3 sections and formed them in to balls. I let them rise in a warm place for about an hour covered with both a piece of saran wrap sprayed with cooking spray and a dish towel. Before I baked the bread bowls I squished them just a little so they wouldn't rise as much.
I baked the bread bowls so they were done on the inside but not browned. I let them cool and scooped out the insides forming the bowl. I let them bake a few more minutes to firm them up but still not brown them.
The Insides
Italian sausage/ground beef, red spaghetti sauce
*Brown the meat and add it to the red sauce
Cottage cheese, one slightly beaten egg, motzerella cheese extra for garnishing
*mix all together, reserving some motz for topping the bowls later.
Noodles- Plan 1-2 per bowl depending on the size of your bowls.
Putting Them Together
Once the bread bowls were done firming, you can put them together!
I started with a little meat mixture on the bottom. Then I layered one noodles. I took one big one and cut it in half, but I used both halves side by side as one layer. Then I layered the cheese mixture and added noodles. Reapeating until the bowls were full. Then I topped with the extra motz cheese.
To bake them, I set the oven to 375. I tented the pan with tin foil, so the bread would warm up and not quite brown yet. I baked them for around 20 minutes or until everything, was melting and starting to warm up.
After about 20 minutes I took off the tin foil tent and let the cheese and the bowls brown.
I wanted to take a picture of them but they were simply to delicious to stop eating.
Happy Eating and as always Kiss your cook!
