let the cooking begin!!


I got up this morning feeling pretty good, so I decided today is going to be cooking day. My tummy has dropped (even more) and the baby hasn't been moving nearly as much, so maybe she's getting ready now. :)

I started off the morning making Spinach Lasagna and it looks so yummy... I want to eat it now! I'm making our favorite Mexican Chicken casserole next and then hoping to make a chicken pot pie later today. I'm still looking for where to find the puff pastry sheets. Does anyone know of a store that sells it?

Here's the recipe and I even found a picture!
I usually modify recipes to how we like to eat. I used whole grain noodles and then lots of my other ingredients were organic. It doesn't make a difference, so use whatever you like!

Ingredients:
2 eggs, beaten

1 container (16 oz.) 2% Milkfat Low Fat Cottage Cheese

1 pkg. (10 oz.) frozen chopped spinach, thawed, well drained

3 cups 2% Milk Shredded Reduced Fat Mozzarella Cheese, divided

1/2 cup Grated Parmesan Cheese, divided

1 jar (26 oz.) spaghetti sauce, divided

9 lasagna noodles, cooked, drained

HEAT oven to 350°F. Mix eggs, cottage cheese, spinach, 2 cups mozzarella and 1/4 cup Parmesan.

LAYER 1 cup spaghetti sauce, 3 lasagna noodles and 1/2 the cottage cheese mixture in 13x9-inch baking dish. Repeat layers. Top with remaining noodles, sauce and cheeses.

BAKE 45 min. or until heated through. Let stand 10 min. before serving.

Stef - Buy puff pastry at any regular grocery store! It is in the dessert section of the freezer.

you would think! I checked 3 grocery stores already and they all said "we don't carry it". My friend told me to check Safeway and just after she emailed that to me, 3 other ladies said they've only ever found it at Safeway... and it figures, its the one place I've not tried. :)

That's funny - I just tried to post a comment but I think you just posted yours...so it rejected mine:). haha. I was saying what a good mommy and wife you are that you are cooking! I only cleaned my house before my due date:). I will have to cook more next time. I also had a funny dream with you in it last night...we both went diving and had a really fun time! haha

Oh, no worries. I didn't do this when Ethan was born. Its much easier when its just the two of you. You may find it helpful when you have more though!
