Easy Spinach Lasagna

I was in the mood for lasagna yesterday when I was at the grocery store and decided to be healthy at the same time.  Here is my recipe for spinach lasagna.

Ingredients:

• Fresh spinach
• Jar of spaghetti sauce (or your own homemade)
• 15 oz. ricotta cheese
• 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
• 2 eggs
• 2 cups mozzarella cheese
• Box of ready-bake lasagna noodles

Directions:

• Preheat the over to 350 degrees.
• Beat the eggs in a medium bowl. Mix the ricotta cheese,and parmesan in with the eggs.
  
• Cover the bottom of a 13x9 pan with 1/2 cup of sauce.
• Place a layer of noodles on top of the sauce, but not touching the sides of the pan.  Add a layer of the ricotta mixture, about a 1/3 cup.  
• Next, add a layer of washed and trimmed spinach.
• Cover this with a layer of sauce and then a layer of mozzarella.
• Repeat these five steps twice more.
• Top with a final layer of ricotta, spaghetti sauce and mozzarella.
• Cover with a piece of foil and put into the over to bake for 30 minutes.
• Remove the foil and bake for an additional 10 to 15 minutes.
• Let the lasagna stand for about 5 minutes to cool.
• Serve with your favorite spaghetti sauce.

NOTE: You can also use a box of frozen spinach that has been thawed and dried so that there is not a lot of excess water in it.

BBQ Chicken

I used my crock pot for the first time last night.  I've had this since I got married 5 years ago and never opened it.  Well, that is a thing of the past!  I will be using my crock pot much more now.

I made a really easy version of BBQ Chicken that was falling apart by the time that it was done, but was delicious!

Ingredients

• 4-6 chicken breasts
• 1 cup of your favorite BBQ sauce (I used Sweet Baby Ray's Honey BBQ)
• Pineapple slices

Directions:

• Place chicken breasts in the crock pot then cover with your favorite BBQ sauce.
• Place pineapple slices on top of the chicken.
• Cook on LOW for 7 hours or on HIGH for 3 to 4 hours.
• Serve with a side of BBQ sauce
