Ofcourse! (Cause I love lasagna toooo!!!)

1lb ground turkey (or lean ground beef or chick)

Half of an onion

¾ of a box of chicken Stock (Depending how much you want to make you can add more)

1 can of diced tomatos or 1 ½ can of Tomato sauce alone and you cut up some tomatos and add to it

2 ounces of cream cheese or ricotta cheese

Mozzarella cheese

2 Minced garlic cloces

So what I did first was I dropped the 1lbs of turkey and I let it cook up, then I added the half of the onion and let it cook for about 5 minutes with the ground turkey. Then I add the 2 minced garlics.

I added a good palm full of Italion Seasioning to the ground turkey and onions

After they cooked for a little bit I added the chicken Stock

Let that sit for about 5 minutes

In a different pot I added the tomatoes and tomato sauce and let that cook for about 5 minutes and added the cream cheese or ricotta and let that blend in completely until its nice and light red, I added some italion seasoning to that and a little bit of salt and pepper

Now to the Big pot I added some salt and pepper too, and because Im Hispanic I add this seasoning called SAZON con ACHOTE (you don’t have to add, but it gives an amazing flavor to it you can find it in the goya international section)

I add the tomato sauce to the big pot and I flavor to taste..you can eat it as is, but I went ahead and added some sphagheti squash and it made it nice and thick and yummy..lol..

After all is done I served it in a oven safe glass bown and put fresh mozzarella on top and broiled it for about 5 minutes..IT COMES OUT BUBBLY and melty like a lasagna!!!

OMG let me know when you try it because it is amazing!! I love love love love love it!!

Plus if you wanna add your own things go right ahead, but this is a good hearty yummy soup!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
