  • 1 1/2 cup Shredded Italian Cheese Blend
  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan
  • 1 Tbsp Egg White Powder
  • 1/2 cup Bone Broth or Water
  • 2 Tbsp Gelatin

PASTA DIRECTIONS:


1. Sprinkle gelatin over bone broth, stir to combine & set aside.

2. Mix the egg white powder into the shredded cheese. Add egg yolks, cream, shredded cheese & bloomed gelatin to the blender. Blend until combined.

3. Divide mixture onto 2 sheet pans lined with silicone baking mats. Spread evenly to about the size of your lasagna pan.

4. Bake at 350F for 20 minutes. Allow to cool slightly, then trim to fit your lasagna pan & set aside.

LASAGNA INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 lbs Ground Beef
  • 1 Medium Onion, diced
  • 4 cloves Garlic, minced
  • 16oz Whole Milk Ricotta Cheese
  • 16oz Whole Milk Mozzarella Cheese, grated

**Shredded Italian Cheese to taste if you like a cheesy lasagna.

  • 1/2 cup Grated Parmesan, divided
  • 1 14.5oz can Diced Tomatoes, drained
  • 2 25oz jars Marinara Sauce, no sugar added
  • 2 tsp Italian Seasoning
  • 1/2 tsp Red Chile Flakes
  • 1 Large Egg
  • Redmond Real Salt
  • Freshly Ground Pepper

LASAGNA DIRECTIONS:


1. Heat about a tablespoon of fat to a sauté pan and add the onion. Cook until softened. Add the garlic and cook just until fragrant.

2. Add your ground beef, 2 tsp Italian seasoning, 1/2 tsp chile flakes, Real Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste.

3. Once the ground beef has browned, add the 2 jars of marinara sauce. Cook 5-10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.

4. While the sauce cooks, add your ricotta cheese, egg, 1/4 cup grated parmesan to a bowl. Mix to combine and add some freshly ground black pepper. Set aside.

LASAGNA ASSEMBLY:


1. Grease an 8 1/2 x11″ baking dish. Spread 1 1/2 cups of the meat sauce on the bottom.

2. Place a trimmed pasta sheet on top. Spread 1/2 of the ricotta mixture over the pasta sheet. Top with half of the well drained, diced tomatoes.

3. Sprinkle with some of the grated mozzarella. Add half the remaining meat sauce and sprinkle with the Italian cheese blend and parmesan.

4. Add the pasta sheets, gently pressing down. Spread the remaining ricotta. Top with the remaining drained, diced tomatoes.

5. Sprinkle with mozzarella and top with the remaining meat sauce, then the rest of the mozzarella, some Italian cheese blend and parmesan.

6. Grease a sheet of foil and wrap tightly. Bake at 375F for 30 minutes. Remove the foil, bake an additional 30 minutes uncovered.

7. Allow the lasagna to cool 15 minutes before cutting.
*The amount of cheese in this recipe is up to you. I like it cheesy so I use a lot. Feel free to add less or more to your tastes.

My experience with red light therapy and the benefits

Q: What is red light therapy? Is it worth it & something I can do at home?

A: Red Light Therapy or Photobiomodulation is what it’s called. 

I had been wanting a red light therapy device for months. Finally ordered a portable one for my home from @emrtekinc – IN LOVE! I’ve been using it for about 7 months. 

They were also kind enough to give y’all a discount code for 20% off: Lilbitoffit20 

Link here: http://emr-tek.com/discount/lilbitoffit20

I’ve been using it once or twice a day for 15-20 minutes typically when I eat breakfast. Pete 🐈‍⬛ loves it too! It’s soothing. 

I simply sit in front of it. I don’t use goggles. 

I noticed changes in my skin, digestion, & energy 2 weeks after I started using. Less skin discoloration, more youthful appearance, digestion & gut health are seamless. I feel happier too!

I also found I seem to maintain my weight much easier on the same food routine with less longer, higher intensity activity workouts.

These are just a few of the many benefits photobiomodulation can provide. 

Benefits:

* Reduces oxidative stress

* Reduces inflammation & joint pain

* Increases muscle recovery

* Increases collagen production & tightens skin

* Reduces fine lines & wrinkles

* Increases hair growth

* Increases overall energy & vitality

* Increases wound healing, great for skin conditions

* Improves memory & vision quality

* Increases testosterone production

* Improves sleep & can aid fat loss

Take it or leave it, here’s the info, don’t be afraid to try it out! You never know if things can work or not for you if you don’t give them a chance!

50 Shades of Addictions and What I Did About It

50 shades of addictions…like this coffee

 here. Confessions of another dirty bathroom photo.

Confessions of another bathroom photo…

I made some big decisions lately. 

I’m going down part time in radiology. This is my last full-time week & I booked a legacy photo shoot for my 40th in August.

I read a past journalist entry this morning dated October of 2020.

It read, “My coworkers & I were going thru our schedules & I had a gut check moment. I’ve had 3, THREE whole days off in 2 months.”

My reaction, “WTF, Katie! You have a problem.”

I’ve confided in y’all about how I have an addictive personality.

I was never addicted to 1 thing. I discovered thru therapy I was addicted to filling voids.

It’s a hard shot to swallow. Most truth bombs are.

I reflected on my journey this mornin & gave gratitude for how far I’ve come. And I hope y’all can do the same. Be proud of yourselves!

My addictions were similar shades.

Mornings writing with Pete (and coffee, of course)

I’ve been all 50 shades & shapes & sizes of fugged up, mentally & physically. They affected all my relationships.

Like the memes…

𝗠𝘆 𝘁𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘀𝘁 𝗮𝘀𝗸𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗲: what do we say when we feel like this?
𝗠𝗲: you coulda had a bad bitch?
𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗿𝗮𝗽𝗶𝘀𝘁: NO.

🤷‍♀️

Quoting @lizzobeeating seems like a positive life decision for me at this point

😂

You?

My biggest fear used to be gaining weight.

Now, I’ve quickly discovered my biggest fear is missing out on life & working my life away.

I enjoy coaching y’all, writing, speaking, networking with my community, nurturing relationships, & helping others more at this season in my life than trading my time for money.

I want to spend as much time with my mom & dad, my friends & family as I can, making as many memories as I can.
Loving the sh*t out of this life, squeezing every drop.

That’s my true wealth.

I hope I gave y’all a laugh, & let you know that it’s OK. We are always 1 decision away from a completely different life.

Choose your happy.

Xoxo

BONUS: words of wisdom from Dr. Nicole LePera about addiction.

“Addiction is an attempt to regulate a nervous system chronically stuck in fight or flight.

Addiction is an attempt to escape from feeling a pain and emptiness that runs to the core of a persons being.

Addiction is a form of self abuse. When we are abused or emotionally neglected as children, we can become our own abuser. It’s all we know. Our brains seek to repeat the familiar.

Addiction is the result of not having childhood co-regulation. An inability to self sooth. A lack of healthy ways to cope.

Addiction is the result of witnessing things that were scary, overwhelming, or downright terrifying without having a safe adult to help you understand them.

Addiction is the childhood LACK OF EMOTIONAL CONNECTION, manifested.

Addiction is an attempt to silence the “dark” thoughts that re-play (like a broken record) the voice of the critical parent.

Addiction is the result of a society’s greatest lie: that says some people aren’t lovable, worthy, or valuable.

Addiction is SHAME. And it’s usually a shame that was never that persons to carry.

Addiction causes a person to engage in survival based behaviors they wouldn’t otherwise engage in like: deception, abuse, theft, or betrayal.

Addiction is a slow spiritual death that no human being consciously chooses.”

Wishing you all so much healing. Love & hugs
