Sweet Potato Lasagna

     Would you believe me if I told you that this was the best Lasagna I have EVER eaten!?  No!? ...weeellll, it's pretty darn close!  Gluten free, health filled and flavor that is out of this world.  Each of these 12 hearty pieces are only 173 calories, 13g net carbs and 16g protein.  I beg you to try this out the next time you get a hankering for Italian, you will not be disappointed!  I make no apologies for the long list of ingredients, my philosophy is the more the merrier...and this girl does what it takes to get the job done right! (and if you are a big whiner, just make the meat sauce a day ahead,... divide and conquer).  It's a winner all the way around  ;)
