EASY AND HEALTHY CHICKEN FLORENTINE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375 degrees F (190 degrees C).
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion in the hot oil until just fragrant, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook for about 45 seconds. Mix chicken tenders into onion mixture; cook until chicken is browned, 3 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer chicken mixture to a 9x13-inch baking dish.
• Cover chicken mixture with spinach; pour marinara sauce over spinach layer. Cover the baking dish with aluminum foil.
• Bake in the preheated oven until chicken is no longer pink in the center and spinach is wilted, about 30 minutes.
• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Stir in the fettuccine, bring back to a boil, and cook pasta over medium heat until cooked through but still firm to the bite, about 8 minutes. Drain and transfer fettuccine to serving plates.
• Top each plate with chicken-marinara mixture; garnish each serving with Parmesan cheese.

EASY, HEALTHY VEGETARIAN LASAGNA

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 375°F.
• In a large bowl combine spinach, ricotta cheese, eggs, garlic, and salt and pepper to taste.
• In a deep 9x13 lasagna pan, add a few oz of the pasta sauce to lightly coat the bottom. Add 3 lasagna noodles to cover the bottom of the pan with out overlapping the noodles.
• Add half the ricotta/spinach mixture by dolloping it onto the noodles, sprinkle zucchini, tomato slices, broccoli, onion, mushrooms and bell pepper slices. Add 20 or so oz (the rest of the first jar of pasta sauce), covering the veggies.
• On the next layer, add 3 more lasagna noodles, the other half of the spinach and ricotta mixture, the rest of the veggies, and half a jar of pasta sauce.
• Then, to finish it off, layer the remaining lasagna noodles, the rest of the pasta sauce, and the parmigiano-reggiano cheese as well as the mozzarella.
• Bake in the oven for 40-50 minutes until cheese begins to brown and bubble. Let sit for 10 minutes after removing from oven to allow liquids to be reabsorbed by veggies.
• NOTE: As mentioned in the comments, this is a very thick lasagna and there is often a lot of liquid in the pan. It is best to let the lasagna sit for 10 minutes after removing from the oven to let it absorb some of the liquid. Adding salt to remove liquid as suggested is a great idea if you plan on eating the entire lasagna the day it is made/soon after. However, this lasagna freezes and reheats VERY well and that is largely because the excess liquid when it is originally made helps keep the lasagna moist after being reheated in the microwaving process. Another way to reduce the amount of liquid is to use the type of noodles that you don't have to pre-cook, however, I prefer the texture of the ones that need precooking.

STUPID EASY TRIM HEALTHY MAMA CHOCOLATE CHIP COOKIES RECIPE - (3.9/5)

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350ºF and spray two baking sheets with coconut oil baking spray. Set aside. Using a stand mixer, beat together butter and sweetener. Add eggs one at a time, beating for one minute and scraping the bowl after each addition. Beat in vanilla extract. Add almond flour and baking soda and mix until thoroughly combined. Fold in chocolate chips with a spatula. Use a tablespoon-size cookie scoop to portion out 18 cookies, dividing them between the two prepared pans. It's alright if they're fairly close together because they won't spread much. Bake cookies for 7 minutes, then rotate pans top to bottom and front to back and bake for 7 minutes more. Cool on pans for five minutes, then transfer cookies to a wire rack and cool completely. Store cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to three days or in the freezer for up to two months.
