Okay, now that we have eaten and drank our way through the holidays it’s time to get back on track.  Some things I do to get back to feeling myself is:

  • Start each morning with lemon water
  • Begin breakfast with a green drink
  • Eat more vegetables at each meal throughout the day

So, today I made my vegetarian Zucchini Lasagna which is decadent and jam packed with vegetables.  Also, it is quick and easy for a week night dinner.  Make a big portion because you will definitely want leftovers for next day’s lunch.  Sooo Gooood!

Enjoy!
