Slow Cooker Love…

I think my pantry is reproducing with my fridge. I’ve been using food up left and right and it isn’t going ANYWHERE. I still have just as much as I did before! *I’m keeping an eye on you fridge and pantry!*

Slow Cooker Lasagna

In the Mix (Serves 2):
-3 lasagna noodles
-1 c. cottage cheese
-1/4 c. egg beaters (or 1 egg)
-1/2 c. pasta sauce
-1-2 String cheese sticks
-spinach

Optional
-garlic
-basil
-S&P

*Mix together the cottage cheese, egg beaters, and any seasoning you might want in your cheese mixture. I used garlic, basil and a little S&P.

This is cooked in 2 qt. cooker so I had to be a little creative with how I built the lasagna. I broke the noodles up into squares so I could make my base. For each noodle layer I did the same thing. I only needed 3 noodles using this method.

Then the magic happens. Layer, layer, layer. Noodles, cheese mixture, sauce, spinach, a few strips of string cheese. Noodles, cheese mixture, sauce, spinach, a few strips of string cheese. Keep going until you run out!

Cook the lasagna on high for about 4 hours or low for 6-8.

The result…delicious, moist and fantastic lasagna without a bunch of leftovers sitting around to tempt you. *EAT ME ERIN!*

I paired mine with some green beans (still eating the extra that I bought from my attempt at green bean casserole for Christmas dinner).

Apparently while I was eating a certain pup got a little jealous that I was having my meal and he wasn’t. He knocked his food and water bowl right off his placemat during this temper tantrum. Naughty puppy.

Happy Thoughts:
-I had a wonderful weekend that included an EPIC brunch (pictures to come soon!)
- I bought Whey Protein powder to start making shakes. I’m not sure how excited I am about this.
-Netflix streaming is awe-some!. I’ve been watching Psych on and off for 3 days now.
-I’m getting a new office setup at work this week!
-Lunch is packed and ready to go for the whole week. WOOT!
