Eating Clean/Fresh

Last night I made this dish. It's a white chicken lasagna. The recipe doesn't call for it, but I decided I would make everything from scratch or choose fresh (not frozen or processed) ingredients. Whew! It was a bit of work, but very yummy and I felt good about feeding it to my family. Don't be fooled, I don't have this down for every day. We do lots of fruit and veggie smoothies lately that are fresh and eat lots of fresh items, but we haven't committed even every dinner to it. 

I've posted the link for the recipe, but note I like to say, "use what you have". I had gone to the grocery that day, but forgot a few items and just didn't want to get some random bunch of fresh herbs that I wouldn't be able to use past this dish. For example, I only had a little mozzarella, but I did have sliced provolone, so I used it in between. No sweat. I also had basil in my garden, not oregano, so I used that. Get it? 

Be encouraged! Use what you have and do the best you can at meal planning. If you're like me you may sweat the small stuff, but try not too. Your family won't care if it looks like it came out of a foodie mag, just of it tastes good!
