Rustic Vegetarian Lasagna

Rustic Vegetarian Lasagna

Happy Monday! Monday is my favourite day of the work week. You must think I am crazy. Let me explain. My hubby does not work on Monday’s which means I don’t have to get anyone ready for daycare.  I come home from work and dinner is ready and all I have to do is play with my girls. I love Monday’s.

Mr. D lucked out in the dinner department this week. I made this rustic vegetarian lasagna last night, full of zucchini, sweet potatoes, portobello mushrooms, spinach, and smothered in a home made tomato and lemon ricotta cheese. Perfect for meatless Monday. I could eat vegetarian most days of the week but my carnivore loving husband is good with 1-2 meals a week. Eating less meat not only has its health benefits but it also benefits the environment. A couple of other vegetarian meals that have been tried and loved in our household include the yoga pot by Green Kitchen Stories, this kale and brussel sprout Soba noodle salad and these butternut and green chile enchiladas both from Sprouted Kitchen.
