Broccoli and Carrot Lasagna

Creamy, tasty and made way too much for us to eat - about half is currently in the freezer.  When I tasted it right out of the oven, I didn't really like it, but after a night in the refrigerator, the flavors really had a change to mesh and it tasted pretty good.  I'd give it maybe 4 stars out of 5 - might need a bit more flavor for some people (garlic and basil are two that come to my mind right away).

I followed the recipe very closely, though I did cut the mozzarella cheese - instead of measuring it out, I just sprinkled it on.  I like how the broccoli and carrots gave the lasagna a bit of texture, a little more full and crunchy than a "regular" lasagna.  Overall, tasty and a keeper (though I'll probably make some changes next time).

Cottage Cheese Chik'n Enchiladas

This dish has an excellent spice to it (due to the green chiles) and is very tasty.  I was a little skeptical because of the cottage cheese (not a huge fan), but it really works!  I used Trader Joe’s Chickenless Strips (only one box, but should have used 2 or 3) and cut them up really small.  We didn’t have any onions, so I nixed that.  Since I only used one pack of Chickenless Strips, I only had to use ½ of the cottage cheese filling (unfortunately, I learned that out after I made it!).  Finally, instead of using Monterey Jack cheese, I used a Cheddar and Monterey mix – and probably only 1 cup worth.  I did use the whole can of Enchilada sauce!

I filled about 8 tortillas (we ran out – oops!), 6 were corn and 2 wheat.  They all were very tasty.  A little too spicy for the fiancée (even though I used mild enchilada sauce), but pretty good for me J
