Taste Test: Skinnytaste Three Cheese Zucchini Stuffed Lasagna Rolls




 (Skinnytaste)                                                        (Mine)



I found this recipe on Pinterest and was so curious to try it. I had never made lasagna prior to this recipe. As a healthy eater myself, I imagined this would be the best recipe for my family, and it was a instant favorite. Even though it is vegetarian, it packs a lot of cheese which is filling enough and sure to satisfy those carnivores. There were many things that I enjoyed about this recipe. First, it allows you to makes things in steps and prepare ahead. As a momma of a toddler, it makes it easy to prepare the filling ahead of time as well as boiling the Lasagna noodles. Secondly, though this recipe has many steps they are very simple and easy. Lastly, you can make an additional batch to freeze (Directions found here).


I also made her Creamy Cauliflower Puree recipe for dinner as well. 


Pros:
Easy
Simple
Delicious
Vegetarian
Filling
Freezable

Cons:
No Meat

Book Review: Crazy, Sexy Diet

Book Review: Crazy, Sexy Diet


A wealth of information, this book is filled with great recipes, encouraging words, and amazing facts. I was shocked at all that I learned. It also contains Kris Carr's purpose for writing this book. In short, Carr found out she had cancer and decided to do something about it, using food as her medicine. Carr explains in great detail and clarity how food can be both destructive and healing. There are some intriguing topics that are contained in this book that are pretty convincing.




Crazy, Sexy Diet is for a vegan/vegetarian diet. She discusses issues with meat, both it's treatment and the processing it goes through as well as how we digest and how our body processes it. Karr is encouraging in her approach and realizes that a 60/40 goal, 60 for the diet, 40 percent not. 
Karr creates a wonderful book that will have both your soul and body satisfied.




Her cookbook is a wonderful addition to Crazy, Sexy Diet.
