Healthy Spinach Lasagne Rolls: Click here
And here are the soup recipes that she made for Sarah's shower:
Taco Soup:
Cook 1lb hamburger like you would if you were making taco's w/ a packed of taco seasoning. When done and drained combine it with 1 can corn, 1 can black beans (drained), 1 can diced tomatoes in a pot. I add a half cup or so of water cause I like it to be a little thinner. When it is all stirred together and heated throughout, serve on a bed of tortilla chips and top with sour cream, and cheese.
