Beef and Spinach Lasagna
This was a yummy heart healthy meal I found on the internet that looked worth trying! I even used a 55% less sodium spaghetti sauce which made it even more heart friendly for those watching that kind of thing, there are many ways to make a dish like this healthier for you! :) I think I would of used a little fresh parmesean cheese on top next time rather than only mozzarella for a little more flavor. It was quite yummy and I would for sure make it again.
A sweet friend of mine told me I should start selling my meals to those who were interested in a homemade meal ready to go and delivered to you. If you are at all interested let me know and I will get a menu out to you. Thanks for all of ya'lls support!
