You are welcome. Someone dropped a line and now I cannot find it. They asked me how much sauce. Sorry but I don't measure…Some like their pasta very wet some do not. I put sauce on the bottom before layering…just enough to wet the bottom of the pan. Then on each layer of noodles. You can make your own, use jars if it is healthy for you. Remember portion and sodium control. I find store brands are not bad and have lower sodium content than the fancy brands. You can also make your own in a crock pot and add your own garlic etc. Maybe I will put a recipe together for that. This way YOU control what is in it. Becoming a label reader since becoming a diabetic in July has made me want to make more things myself. I am horrified at what I use to put in mouth nutrition-wise. Did I love the stuff? ABSOLUTELY but I love health more. We are adults and know what we need to do about portion and what is in something. I game you a basic and if you are like me you will probably play with the recipe LOL. PS Mrs Dash has become on of my best friends.
Sounds good gotta to try it I been looking for a lasagna recipe. thanks
Hi, yes, Dreamfields was made for us :-) Mom used the real spinach I shortcut. It is blended into the ricotta so droopy doesn't matter. Now I thaw and drain and squeeze all the liquid out so it is pretty dry by the time I add it to the blend. Like any recipe you can make this your own. This is just my version. People will add meats or whatever. I am trying to watch my BS and BP as well as lose weight. Yesterday I found out that my BS has gone from 200 end of July to 94 as of yesterday. My BP has gone from 180/101 to 113/61 and I have lost 5 and a half inches off my waist. I have no scale but last doctor visit I was down 20 lbs and people who see me weekly ask me how much more I have lost. I don't know…will go by getting back into jeans I can't wear LOL Eating right and exercise and my METFORMIN…what a change in my life in such a short time :-)
I LOVE Dreamfields. Here in NV, my Wal-Mart Super Store stopped carrying it, so need to get it at Von's (Safeway, Pavilions) or Smiths (Kroger)…think Albertsons also carries it. Will have to trade out the chopped spinach, tho, only like that fresh not droopy. :)
good for you, working on my B/P now good news
