Still working hard in spin class and weight training along with jogging.  Even Shawna, my wife, has joined in the fun as we train to participate in the 5k Make-A-Wish event in Irving Texas this March 24th (a day after my birthday).  She has never run a race before so off we go!  Here is a wonderful low carb recipe that tastes great on a cold day!  If you want it spicy, add some jalopenos to it!

MEXICAN SPINACH LASAGNA
1 pound ground beef
1 small onion, chopped, 2 1/2 ounces
5 teaspoons Linda’s Taco Seasoning
2/3 cup Red Enchilada Sauce
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
1 egg
10 ounces frozen spinach, thawed and drained well
4 ounce can chopped green chiles
6 ounces colby-jack cheese, shredded

Brown the hamburger, onion and taco seasoning; drain the fat and stir in the enchilada sauce. In a medium bowl, blend the cream cheese, egg, spinach and chiles. In a greased 8 x 8″ baking dish, layer half of the meat sauce, or enough to cover the bottom of the pan fairly well. Spread the spinach mixture over the meat layer; top with 3 ounces of the cheese then the rest of the meat sauce. Sprinkle with the remaining cheese. Bake at 350º about 30 minutes until hot and bubbly.
