In order to lose weight I have cut down to eating no more than 40 grams of carbs a day. This is not an easy task for me because I like carbs so much! Carbs are filling and they are found in so many different foods. It’s way easier and cheaper to cook a huge pasta dinner than to cook and marinade steak and cook vegetables and brown rice.  For me to stay dedicated to eating healthy and sticking to my 40 gram carb intake I have to be creative. It’s important for me to find foods that are, healthy, delicious, and low carb.

One day I decided to take to the wonderful internet in search of a recipe that would fit my needs. I stumbled across a recipe for “Skinny Lasagna”. At first glimpse I felt the recipe was too in depth and I didn’t want to try it. Then I thought hey what the heck let me give it a go! I am so glad I did! This has been one of my favorite recipes. In time I changed the recipe I initially found to better fit my taste. Even my husband and son love it! My son is four years old and is super picky about what he will eat! Some night’s dinner consists of all of us sitting at the same table but eating different foods. However, when I make skinny Lasagna we are all enjoying it together with no complaints. Recently, I even decided to make this into a meal prep! It was such a great decision!
