Hello Fit Friday peeps! Hope you have had a fantastic week! It has been a sugar loaded week at my house, definitly time for a killer workout and a yummy, healthy dinner. If you are feeling me you are going to be happy you are here! Let's check out Ruthie's recipe for the week and follow it up with a sweat session with me!
White Chicken Spinach Lasagna is a healthier spin~ starting off by working some magic with a jar of light alfredo sauce, adding in chicken, fresh spinach, and whole grain lasagna noodles.
White Chicken Spinach Lasagna will be totally be a hit with the whole family! They'll love the way it tastes and you'll love how simple it is to make. Just a few minutes putting it together and then throw it in the oven for an hour! No cook the noodles separately, which I personally happen to be a big fan of. Nobody will ever guess it's been "health-ified" either. . . hahah! Awesome.
White Chicken Spinach Lasagna is one our chilly weather must-makes. There's something that's so comforting about warm, fresh baked lasagna right from the oven. I happen to think lasagna is even a little bit better on day two~ just the way the sauce soaks into the noodles over night and all the flavors meld together in that oh-so-fabulous way!! Mmmmmmmmm. SO good!
I am sure you all have much stronger will power than I do, but this week has been a week of candy, sugar, and a whole lot of foods that don't make me feel so hot. I have found one of my best ways to "flip-a-switch" is a good hard workout. One of those workouts that leave me dripping, exhausted, and happy.
