Healthy Spinach Lasagna Rolls

Okay, I have a confession. I'm OBSESSED with SkinnyTaste.  I go there constantly to find yummy, easy, and healthy recipes! I always come away from that site so excited to try a new one. And let me tell you, these spinach lasagna rolls were definitely worth the excitement... super yummy!!

Another great thing about these cute little roll ups, besides how cute they are, is the easy way to serve them. I feel like whenever I eat regular lasagna I always end up covering the whole plate with a pasta mess. So annoying. But these roll ups are easy to eat and easy to clean up! Something any chef wants in their kitchen!

Lemon-Raspberry Ricotta Parfait

In a need for a sweet snack that still allows those inches to fall off your waist line? This is it! Now, by the looks of the nutrition facts, it doesn't look all that good for you. But keep in mind that the sugar is coming from the honey, which is a natural sweetener, and also the fruit, so it's a lot better than granulated sugar.

I love the freshness of the raspberries, the sweetness of the honey and the tang of the lemon juice. I just cant say enough good things about this. Try it out in your next meal planning!
