Recipe Of The Month

 

                                         

Barbecue Meets Lasagna

 

  

 

Ingredients
  • 1 (16 ounce) package lasagna noodles
  • 36 ounces pulled pork in barbecue sauce
  • 1 (16 ounce) package shredded mozzarella cheese
  • 1 (16 ounce) package shredded cheddar cheese
  • 1 (16 ounce) container ricotta cheese
  • 1 egg, beaten
  • � teaspoon salt
  • � teaspoon black pepper
Directions

 

  • Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
  • Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil; cook the lasagna noodles in the boiling water until cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 12 minutes. Drain.
  • Bring the pork in barbeque sauce to a simmer in a large pot over medium heat; keep warm at a slow simmer.
  • Toss the mozzarella cheese and Cheddar cheese together in a bowl. Beat the ricotta cheese, egg, salt, and pepper together in a separate bowl until smooth.
  • Spread a layer of the barbeque sauce into the bottom of a large, deep baking dish. Lay enough lasagna noodles over the sauce to cover the bottom of the dish. Spread an even layer of the pulled pork in barbeque sauce over the noodles; top with a layer of the ricotta mixture and the mozzarella and Cheddar cheese mixture. Repeat layering. Finish the assembly by topping with a layer of the ricotta mixture, a thin layer of the pork, and a light sprinkling of the cheese mixture. Reserve a small portion of the cheese mixture for later.
  • Bake in the preheated oven for 40 minutes. Top the lasagna with the reserved cheese mixture and return to over until the cheese is bubbly, about 5 minutes. Remove from oven and allow to rest for 15 minutes before serving.

Focus on Fitness for National Physical Fitness and Sports Month

 

Clap along if you feel like a room without a roof.

Clap along if you feel like happiness is the truth.

Clap along if you know what happiness means to you

Clap along if you feel like that's what you wanna do.

Pharrell Williams, Happy, from the album, Girl.

Recording artist Pharrell Williams became an internet sensation with his peppy 24-hour video of his song Happy, in which regular people do their own happy dances on camera. You can click on around-the-clock happy segments of the video at 24hoursofhappy.com

In May for National Physical Fitness and Sports Month, you can start feeling better now by spending 3.53 minutes doing your happy dance with Pharrell. Or just try doing some of the moves the other people do. They can be cool and tricky, too.

Dancing and walking accomplish many of the fitness goals of May's physical fitness and sports month.

If you want a bigger challenge, try the President's Challenge Adult Fitness Test, or try parts of it. Visit www.adultfitnesstest.org.

For the Aerobic Fitness Test, these are the instructions:

The 1-mile walk

You should only attempt to take this test if you are routinely walking 15 to 20 minutes several times per week.

 

The 1.5 mile run

You should only attempt to take this test if you are running at least 20 minutes continuously three or more times a week.

Other parts of the fitness test:

Muscular Strength and Endurance. Enough to do normal activities easily and protect the lower back. A half situp and pushup test.

Flexibility. The ability to move your many joints through their proper range of motion.

Body Composition. Checking to see if you have too much body fat, especially around the waist.

But, hey, fitness doesn't have to be a test. It can be fun too. Turn on Pharrell, do you happy dance or fire up the Wii and just move.
