Spinach Lasagna Rolls

I attempted this wonderful looking recipe I found for Spinach Lasagna Rolls over the weekend. The came out great, I just wish I had thought to modified to include meat :) I enjoy spinach, but I enjoy meat more! I did however make a few modifications in the cheeses I used. The recipe called for shredded mozzarella cheese, which I used, but I also included colby and cheddar.

Spinach Lasagna Rolls

• 12 lasagna noodles, cooked
• 1 bag frozen spinach, thawed
• 15 oz fat free ricotta cheese
• 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 1 egg
• salt and pepper
• Classico Spicy Tomato & Basil sauce
• 1/2 cup mozzarella cheese, shredded
• 1/2 cup cheddar & colby mix, shredded

Preheat oven to 350°. Combine spinach, ricotta, Parmesan, egg, salt and pepper in a mixing bowl. Pour about 1 cup of sauce on the bottom of the baking dish.

Use a piece of foil paper on the counter to lay out lasagna noodles.  Use about 1/3 cup of spinach mixture and spread evenly over the noodles. Roll lasagna noodle and place seam side down onto the baking dish. Repeat process.

Pour sauce over the noodles in the baking dish. Sprinkle shredded mozzarella, cheddar and colby over the lasagna rolls.  Place foil over the baking dish and bake for 40 minutes.

#70 Keep a Food Diary (In Progress)

With the purchase of my cell phone upgrade to an iphone, I came across this app. My Fitness Pal has been a great help in my effort to keep a food diary.

Instead of keeping a physical written journal of what I'm eating, I just type it into this app and it calculates the calories for me. Also it takes my measurements and my goal weight, and configures a daily calorie intake customized for me.

So far, with the start of my 101 in 1001, I have lost 9lbs and tracked my eating habits since April 1st.

Roasted Red Pepper Chicken

I found this recipe for Roasted Red Pepper Chicken from blogger Lena @ Mommy Moment, and thought I'd give is a try. I did however make a few of my own adjustments to the recipe however. I added the pasta to the mix instead of keeping them seperate. It turned out pretty well, although I was expecting it not to. I can never seem to get anything I make to turn out the way it looks in other people's recipes. Here's some pictures of the process.
