Spinach Pesto Lasagna Roll
I've been seeing a lot of pictures of lasagna rolls on various recipe websites, all of them being the more traditional lasagna containing ground beef and tomato sauce. However, my boyfriend has been on a vegetarian kick lately so I decided to make a vegetarian friendly spinach pesto version. I don't know about you, but I absolutely love anything and everything that has to do with pesto so I was more than happy to have this for dinner even though I am a meat loving carnivore. It turned out delicious and was so easy to make! I swapped out the ground beef and ricotta cheese filling for spinach, pesto, fresh mozzarella, and a mix of plain greek yogurt and parmesan cheese (normally I would use cottage cheese with the parmesan but didn't have any on hand so I decided to experiment with the yogurt because it was similar in consistency, and it actually turned great). I rolled this mixture in whole wheat lasagna noodles, smothered the rolls in a low fat alfredo sauce, and topped it off with more parmesan. I served it with a spinach side salad with multi-grain croutons.
SOOOOO GOOOOD!

Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Chip
I am a cookie fiend! I was craving something sweet and decided to make some with the ingredients I had on hand. I just happened to have a 3lb bag of Ocean Spray dried cranberries because they are one of my favorite snacks so they became the main ingredient. I blended a couple of recipes together as an experiment, and this is what I came up with:
Oatmeal Cranberry White Chocolate Chip
1 cup unsalted butter 3/4 cup granulated sugar 3/4 cup brown sugar 2 eggs 1 tsp pure vanilla extract 1 1/2 cups flour 3 cups rolled oats 1/2 tsp salt 1 tsp baking soda 1 tsp cinnamon 1/2 tsp nutmeg 1/4 tsp ground cloves 1 cup dried cranberries 1 cup white chocolate chips
Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cream butter, sugar, and brown sugar until fluffy. Add eggs one at a time. Add vanilla. Combine the dry ingredients. Add dry ingredients to the butter mixture until well blended. Add dried cranberries. Add white chocolate chips. Mix well. Drop rounded tablespoonfuls onto ungreased cookie sheets at least 2 inches apart. Bake 10 minutes. Let stand for 2 minutes before placing on wire racks to cool.
They were easy to make and definitely satisfied my craving.
YUM!
