Lasanga Love

Lasagna is my favorite meal. It's effect on me is so far reaching that we served it at our wedding!
I have learned a bit since then however, and tonight made a healthier more nutrient dense version of my favorite meal. 

I replaced the pasta with thinly sliced and seasoned sweet potato, zucchini and pumpkin which added fiber. For my protein I replaced the minced beef with brown lentils and quinoa and mixed that in with crushed tomato, tomato paste, basil, parsley and agave syrup.

To make simply layer the sweet potato on the bottom and cover it with the quinoa mix. Add the next layer of zucchini.

 Cover zucchini with the remaining quinoa and lentil mix and then top with pumpkin. 

Once it has heated through in the oven ( about 20 minutes) you can eat! I served mine with macadamia pesto and a green salad.

 

Yum, yum yum!!

3 Years and 3 reasons

Today Tuks and I celebrated three years of marriage with a picnic in the park. There are so many reasons I love my hubby, but I'll only share three for now:

Here's to many, many more sweet years together.

Raw Cheescake

We all know that I love sugar, but sugar doesn't love me back. So, I have been experimenting with all sorts of flavors and ingredients to make sweet treats minus the drugs. Before I left to Fiji I made this Cheesecake using nuts, berries and dried fruit. It was so good I took one bite and was on the train to heaven.
