Lasagna Rolls

Ingredients

10 whole wheat lasagna noodles

1 (24 ounce) jar marinara sauce (no sugar added, I like Ragu Lite or Amy's Pasta Sauce)

1 tablespoon olive oil

2 cloves garlic, minced

6 cups baby spinach, loosely packed and chopped well or frozen cooked and drained well

1 cup low-fat ricotta cheese

1 1/2 cups part-skim, shredded mozzarella

1/2 cup low-fat cottage cheese

1 egg white

1 teaspoon dried oregano

Kosher or sea salt to taste

1/2 teaspoon black pepper

1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese

Directions

Preheat oven to 425 degrees. Add 1 1/4 cups marinara to a 13" x 9" x 2" casserole dish.

In a large skillet, add oil and heat to medium-low heat. Saute garlic until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add chopped spinach and saute until wilted, about 3 minutes.

In a large mixing bowl, combine garlic, spinach, ricotta, 1 cup mozzarella, cottage cheese, egg white, oregano, salt and pepper.

On a work surface, lined with parchment paper, arrange lasagna noodles flat, add 1/4 cup cheese and spinach mixture to each noodle, spread evenly to cover noodles. Start rolling the noodle at the end closest to you. Place lasagna rolls seam side down, not quite touching, in the prepared casserole dish. Evenly spread 1 cup marinara over rolls, sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and parmesan.

Cover with aluminum foil and bake 20 minutes, or until cheese is hot and bubbly. If desired, serve rolls with additional heated marinara.

Two ingredient Banana Pancakes

2 eggs

1 banana (ripe)

cooking spray, for pan

Directions:

Mash ripe banana well, add in whisk eggs. Warm a non-stick or cast iron pan to medium, spray with oil. Pour batter in pan you want them to be silver dollar size, do not flip them until they look done on top. If you make them too big they are too hard to flip.

Fresh Made Salsa

(salsa recipe listed above)

1 1/4 cups whole wheat flour

1/4 cup olive oil

1/2 tsp. salt

1/2 cup warm water

DIRECTIONS:

Combine flour, oil, and salt. Mix with your hands until crumbly dough forms. Then, gradually add water until the dough becomes smooth. 

After the dough reaches a smooth, elastic consistency, divide it into 6 evenly sized pieces. Roll each piece into a ball and flatten it slightly. 

Shape each dough disk into a very thin, 8″ diameter circle with a rolling pin.

Heat a nonstick frying pan to medium-high heat. Let it get hot before placing any dough in the pan.

Fry one dough circle in the pan at a time. Fry one side for 20 seconds, then flip for another 20 seconds. Let the tortillas cool for a little bit before serving, or refrigerate them to save them for later.

Ingredients

1 1/2 cups whole wheat flour

1 teaspoon baking soda

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 teaspoons ground cinnamon

1 cup real oats

1 cup raw sugar

2 eggs

1 cup canola oil

2 teaspoons vanilla

3 ripe bananas mashed

3 cups shredded zucchini

Instructions

Heat oven to 350 and prepare loaf pans or muffin tins. 

In large bowl add flour, baking soda, baking powder, salt, cinnamon and oats. Stir together.

In a smaller bowl combine sugar, eggs, oil, vanilla and mashed banana. Pour sugar mixture into flour mixture and stir by hand. Add in zucchini and mix until well incorporated.

Bake for 35-45 minutes or until bread pulls away from sides of pan and an inserted toothpick is removed clean.

(Next time I make this I am going to substitute the sugar with raw honey and most the oil with applesauce (no sugar)
