HCB #44: bout my GREEN!
After my delish cauliflower balls, I decided it was time to make more; only this time I used spinach! I usually only have spinach steamed with garlic, so this was a welcomed and delicious change 🙂
Some benefits for ya!♥ Low in calories, high in vitamins and minerals, as well as other phytonutrients.♥ Excellent source of Vitamin K, A, C, B2, B6, E; spinach is also contains magnesium, folate, iron, calcium, protein, zinc, fibre, and MORE! (it’s also super cheap!)
♥ Got some antioxidants in there, as well as 13 different flavonoid compounds that act as anti-cancer substances.♥ Heart healthy and good for lowering high blood pressure.
“In comparison to red meat, spinach provides a lot less calories, is fat and cholesterol free, and an excellent source of iron. Because iron is a component of hemoglobin, which carries oxygen to all body cells, it’s needed for good energy.”-WH Foods
mmm mmm GOOD 🙂“In all affairs it’s a healthy thing now and then to hang a question mark on the things you have long taken for granted”-Bertrand Russellpeace n love♥Bella♥*HeyDoYou is for the cute, clever and connected*

HCB #43: Cauliflower Ballin!!
I had some cauliflower in the fridge, and even though I really didn’t want ANY cauliflower, I decided to have a little fun with it.
cook em, and mash em!
decide how you want em to taste, and then make little balls
A quick deep fry, and then finished in the oven
they were kinda YUMMY!About half way through my meal, I realized that they’d be even more perfect, if I dipped them in some… ranch sauce baby!!
Don’t judge me, I put ranch on like everything! TASTY!
Happy Cookin lovelies!

HCB #42: the ending…
Remember my tis the beginning post? Well…here’s the ending!
Let your dough sit for about an hour, make sure you knead it well, especially if you’re gonna be rolling it by hand… Then cut into four even pieces. I’d already rolled one out by the time I remembered to take the pic lol
Baked some thinly sliced marinated eggplant… mmm
Before baking your butternut squash, make sure you poke some holes into it, and rub it down with some olive oil, salt and pepper.
It took everything in me to not just eat it up when it was done baking! The flavor was so much more intense! DELICIOUS
roll it out nice and thin 🙂
measure and cut your lasagna sheets
I par-cooked them before assembling the lasagna
Assembly time!
Oven time…
EATING TIME!All I can say is DAMN. I know you’re not supposed to toot your own horn, but TOOT TOOT b*tches! The ish was f***ing amazing!! I couldn’t possibly share just how long or rather how short a time it took me to polish off this BAD BOY!!Happy Cookin Lovelies!♥Bella♥*HeyDoYou is for the cute, clever and connected*

HCB #41:Eat up!
“When you start to abandoning your old beliefs or values… you may be stuck at the threshold for two or three years. Before moving on, you have to clear away your cherished beliefs“- Dick Raymond

This made my belly WARM and full! Yum and Yum! My rice n peas are something SERIOUS. Trust. Lol.Happy Cooking Lovelies!♥Bella♥*HeyDoYou is for the cute, clever and connected*

HCB #40: Veggie Macaroni Bake
I’m not sure if I’ve ever had pasta and eggplant together, but I was willing to try it, and LOVED it!I pre-baked the eggplant with some olive oil, garlic, oregano and some parm! YUM (used it as a base for my mac’ bake)
FYI: Eggplant is an excellent source of dietary fiber. Very good source of vitamins B1, B6 and potassium. Good source of copper, magnesium, manganese, phosphorus, niacin, and folic acid. Nasunin, an anthocyanin from eggplant peels, is a potent antioxidant and free-radical scavenger, and has protective activity against lipid peroxidation.= WINNNER
I blanched the veggies first. Then cooked them lightly in butter, garlic, and onions with a touch of oregano before assembly.
I used a bechamel sauce, that I infused with garlic, onion and bayleaf… Parmesan, provolone and mozzarella were my cheeses of choice.
bake it till it’s golden delicious!My appetite might suck right now, but this will last me a couple days so I’m not worried.Happy Cooking lovies!♥Bella♥
