Look at me! I'm cooking!

I made this new recipe off of skinnytaste.com tonight - Spinach Lasagna Rolls.  I'd never tried to cook lasagna noodles before (I normally do a no-bake lasagna with uncooked noodles) so I was a little intimidated.  But with a little help from my 6-year-old sous chef, we pulled off a beautiful and delicious meal!

The recipe called for 9 noodles, but we stretched the filling out to make 10, so those calories went just a little farther!  :)  This with a salad made for a wonderful home-cooked meal.  I didn't even miss the garlic bread, which I used to serve with every Italian meal we would eat.

Now, I can't be all sunshine and rainbows.  Kyle threw such an amazing fit about the spinach before even tasting them that he never gave them a fair chance.  It makes me sad, because the spinach was just a nice, fresh, mild taste and I think he would have liked them.

And on the exercise front, I had a lot of errands to run in Chanhassen this morning, so I grabbed my gym bag on the way out of the door and headed to the Lifetime Fitness Mothership (their headquarters and supersized fitness center) and did a half hour of on the elliptical!
