Chicken Spinach Lasagna

7/17/2020

Oprah is not known for her budget friendly favorites & I have never been known for creating classic dishes. I am always modifying a basic recipe to fit my needs, food supplies, or mood. Let's be honest......some of my best creations had no thought process whatsoever! I always wanted to be skilled in making classic foods like my mother often did but I HATE following recipes. How funny, that I am about to give you a recipe!

The recipe for Chicken Spinach Lasagna was born out of a want to create a classic comfort food mixed with a need for lighter complex flavors. The recipe itself uses less pasta, a leaner protein, & has a hidden ingredient which adds creaminess!

Pair with a fresh salad full of veggies & serve HOT! Kids love this lasagna as much as adults do. I call that a win win.

Do I have you feeling ready to make your own twist on a classic? If not, you can just make mine! :)

As always tag me in any of your recipe creations inspired by me!

You probably know by now that I like to decorate! I enjoy watching the trends for home style come & go. I like to mix modern & farmhouse decor with a splash pattern! Keeping up with trends can be an investment but I don't treat it that way. I love to search for home items that achieve the same look without overspending. Usually I will piece together things I find from various stores with items I already own. This keeps decorating fun with less stress!!

Here are some recent finds that will have your spaces feeling stylish yet approachable. Let's face it......one of the kids WILL spill something on my $15 table runner but I won't feel like crying over it! Our family has seen many place mats over the years.
