I promise this stew will not disappoint!

Vegetarian Spinach Lasagna
Very Good 4.6/5

This recipe has been healthy-fied from an older version that I've had for years. I've thrown the old less healthy version out the door!! WooHoo!

The wheat germ absorbes moisture so the sauce won't run right out when cutting. It also provides fiber. If you do not have wheat germ handy just replace it with one large egg.

Also, use whatever veggies you have on hand! This recipe will also be great with eggplant, zucchini, carrots, etc.

Enjoy! *Also freezes great (think convenience!)

SP_Stepf's Baked Veggie Burritos
Very Good 4.3/5

Black beans, sweet potatoes and greens are spiced up and baked in egg roll wrappers to create burritos that are heavy on taste and light on calories. (Feel free to change this recipe with what you've got in the fridge. No sweet potatoes? Try zucchini or butternut squash. Swap kale for spinach, Swiss chard or your favorite green! Instead of black beans, try kidney, pinto or garbanzo beans.)

To make this recipe healthier you could try to use some type of light butter or spread. I should try it but I just don't really trust the recipe to come out good. I just stick with using my organic butter because I don't know enough about all these spreads and stuff. If you find a substitute for the butter that works for you...please let me know!

When I was eight years old, my parents got American Girl dolls for me. Along with the doll, I also got the Felicity cookbook and this recipe soon became one of my favorites. For those of you with a gluten allergy, you can substitute the regular flour with rice flour.
