My girlfriend Leah is studying nutrition. She has the best recipes ever and cooks amazing! She called me the other day and told me to jot this recipe down and try it. This morning I did and man was it delicious!
In a small skillet saute 1/4 cup chopped peppers in 1 tsp bacon grease for flavor or (for me this morning it was Olive Oil). (Animal fat is actually good for your brain, so if you aren't on a special diet add it in for the health and flavor benefits).
Add in some mushrooms if you like them...
Next add in a large handful of baby spinach and toss. Cook on medium for 2 minutes.
Add two Eggs and bust the yolks. I leave the yolks in because the Choline found in the yolk is good for you - it helps brain function. (If you are an egg white only diet - you will need another egg.)
Next add garlic salt and pepper.
Cook until it is cooked through and flip!
I served this up with Karina's Guacamole and grape tomatoes, but it is also good with toast and my Homemade Apple Butter!

Cheesy Spinach Roll-Ups
My friend Sonya shared this with me several years ago. I have been enjoying this dish - that is very similar to Lasagna ever since.
Ingredients:
17 lasagna noodles
Mix in a bowl:
2 eggs
2 1/2 cups ricotta cheese
2 cups shredded mozzarella
1/2 cup Parmesan cheese
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp nutmeg
1/2 tsp pepper
Box of frozen spinach, thawed and drained, squeezed and then patted dry! (in other words - get all the liquid out you can!)
Saute together:
4 Tbsp Butter
1/2 Onion chopped
1 jar of Ragu Mushroom sauce (or your favorite variety)
Take 1 cup of your filling mixture and spread in a 9X13 pan.
In each individual noodle spread 1/3 cup of your cheesy filling and roll up. Place Seam side down in your baking dish. Top the Cheesy Spinach Roll-ups with the Marinara sauce. Sprinkle with a bit more Parmesan Cheese.
Bake at 375 for 25-30 minutes or until it is bubbling.
Serve with Salad and French Bread!
This will usually yield 12 Cheesy Spinach Roll-ups. If you have extra's you will just need to have more marinara on hand.
