What's On Your Tuesday Menu, RNYers?
WAHOOOOO pulling chair out at cool kids table
I work nights so in order to be kind of timely I will have to do deja vu posting. I will post yesterday because I am not even starting today while you guys are toodling off to sleepy land. I should normallybe earlier than this but I stayed up extra late to wake my husband up for his flight because we were afraid he would oversleep. I also dont eat meals perse because it doesnt work for my schedule. My doctor approved me deciding what I will eat for the day and then just gnoshing when I can.
I am 8 months post op as of yesterday. And I started logging on my fitness pal yesterday. I would have scanned my husband to find his nutrition count if he had one of those scanners!!!

Lazy Lasagna
FEEDS 6 TO 8 (HALVE INGREDIENTS IF YOUR FAMILY IS SMALLER)
- 2 pounds ground meat (beef and venison work well)
- 2 (12-ounce) jars no-sugar-added pizza or spaghetti sauce
- 1½ tablespoons dried oregano
- ½ teaspoon Mineral Salt
- 1 teaspoon onion powder
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/8 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 2 (10-ounce) packages frozen chopped spinach, thawed
- 1 (8-ounce) package 1/3 less fat cream cheese
- 1 (14-ounce) container 1% cottage cheese
- 2 large eggs
- 1 (8-ounce) piece part-skim mozzarella cheese, grated
- ¼ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese (for sprinkling over top; green can is fine)
- Preheat the oven to 350°F.
- Brown the meat in a large skillet over high heat, then drain off any excess fat if necessary. Add the sauce and seasonings, and simmer over low heat for several minutes.
- Put the spinach in a colander and squeeze and push to get all the liquid out.
- Put the cream cheese, cottage cheese, and eggs in a food processor and process until smooth.
- Layer half the meat sauce in the bottom of a 9 × 13-inch baking dish. Top with half the cheese mixture, then layer on half the spinach. Follow with half the grated mozzarella. Repeat the layers, ending with the mozzarella. Top with a good sprinkling of Parmesan cheese. Bake for 40 minutes or until bubbly.
We love anything Lazy, Yes...please explain the lazy lasagna.

Interesting... Basically Lasagna minus the noodles. I will have to try.
