Here's hoping my husband's cold passes quick!

Whole wheat lobster ravioli with shrimp and crab with a light white wine lemon sauce

You will need:
One package of store bought lobster ravioli (or your choice of stuffed ravioli)

1/4 shrimp

1/4 crab meat (fresh or canned)

Blanched asparagus (about 10 stems)

1/4 cup of white wine

Juice of one lemon

1 tablespoon of lemon zest

1/4 cup sour cream or low fat ricotta (if fat content is not an issue than you can use heavy cream)

1 tablespoon of low fat butter (I use Brummel and Brown with 40% yogurt). If fat content is not an issue then use real butter

1 tablespoon of olive oil



Follow instructions for pasta preparation

Boil asparagus for 5 minutes then place into ice water for another 5 minutes. Slice in thirds.(cook longer if want asparagus less firm)

In a non stick skillet add one tablespoon of olive oil on medium heat. Add shrimp and crab meat, when shrimp begin to turn pink add in white wine and turn heat down to low.

Next add ricotta or sour cream, lemon juice and lemon zest. (add salt and pepper to taste).

When sauce begins to have a creamy consistency it is ready.
Add cut asparagus to pan and serve over top of lobster ravioli
Enjoy! :)

Chocolate truffle pops & spinach casserole bites! Not healthy but I made these for my friends' party and had to share!

Spinach casserole recipe~
You will need:
2 boxes frozen chopped spinach (thawed and drained well)
1 cup all purpose flour
1 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 stick of butter (softened)
8 oz. shredded Monterey jack cheese (or a block and grate it)
2 beaten eggs
1 cup milk
bacon bits

Pre heat oven to 350

Thaw and drain the spinach (VERY WELL) then mix all the ingredients except the bacon bits in a bowl with a mixer on low until well incorporated.

Spray a glass baking dish with cooking spray(I used a 8X11 glass). You can use any size you have, it will only vary the thickness of the casserole.

Pour mix into dish and add a layer of bacon bits on the top.

Bake for 30 minutes. Let cool then cut into squares.
