This is a quick and easy meatless spinach lasagna recipe which can be thrown together easily and then tossed into the oven to cook while you relax or take care of other things! We often double this when we make it & place the uncooked dish in the freezer for a future super-busy night when there is zero time for meal prep. Enjoy.

Here is an easy egg & potato recipe to start your day. Eggs are an excellent & inexpensive source of high quality protein. Each has about 80 calories & 7 grams of protein. They are a great source of vitamins A & D, iron, the carotenoids, lutein & zeaxanthin (help to reduce risk age-related macular degeneration) & choline (helps improve brain function). The most common question that we get about eggs is, “But, don’t they raise cholesterol?”. To answer that, the most recent research has found that egg consumption is not associated with an increase in cholesterol levels. Actually, a diet lower in saturated fats is a more effective recommendation for the prevention & treatment of high cholesterol. Thus, it is more important to limit the high saturated fats foods that are commonly served with the egg (bacon, sausage) or cooked with the egg (butter) than the actual egg. Prepare your eggs without fat (boiled) or use non-stick spray or olive oil when cooking to help keep saturated fat intake low.
