Chicken and Roasted Vegetable Lasagna (No Noodles)

For the noodle layers, slice into large…

MeagAlayne's Signature Protein Brownies
By request from my MFPals... **Disclaimers 1) These do not taste like sweet dessert brownies. They are crumble-y, chocolate-y goodness with a jolt of protein. If you want a rich, creamy, dreamy dessert, look elsewhere. These bad boys are way too healthy to taste that good :wink: 2) This recipe is made to my own tastes. I…
