For some, cooking dinner can be a daunting task. You get home from work, are tired, and now you have to cook a meal for you and your family. Luckily, today I am sharing a recipe that is super easy AND healthy. It’s a favorite in my household and I wanted to share it with all of you.

I always like putting a creative spin on classic recipes and adapt them to make them a little more on the lighter side. As we all know, lasagna can get messy, but thanks to the NEW Scotch-Brite® Scrubbing Dish Cloths I have no need to worry. They scrub without scratching any surfaces and are fully washable, reusable, and sturdy. The premium, textured fiber dishcloth features two sides with scrubbing dots technology on one side originating from their stay clean sponges.

Currently they are available in 2 packs in the colors gray, mint, coral, and navy for only $4.99 at Target.  I used this Cartwheel offer {from 6/26 to 7/2} and saved even more! The Scotch-Brite® Scrubbing Dish Cloth takes cleaning to a whole new level so you can do even more, including tackling stuck on messes.

The Scotch-Brite® Scrubbing Dish Cloth is great for cleaning up a dirty kitchen, but I also wanted to share 5 tips on minimizing the mess in the first place:

STEP 1 >> GET ORGANIZED

Being organized is key. To save time, wash produce as soon as you bring them home from the grocery store. That way, when you are ready to prepare your meal, you will have one less step and pot to deal with. When cutting up your veggies for a recipe, make sure to double it and bag the extra. You will save yourself time and a mess for the next time you use them to cook.

STEP 2 >> CLEAN AS YOU GO

I have always been a huge fan of cleaning as you go, otherwise you will feel overwhelmed at the end when you have to clean up the entire kitchen. Wash all the colanders and pots as soon as you are done using them. They are much easier to clean before the food has had a chance to dry AND you reduce the clutter of dirty dishes in your sink. Also make sure to wipe down spills as soon as they happen. If you wait, they can harden which will leave you with a much bigger chore later.

STEP 3 >> PROTECT THOSE COUNTERS

Place all stirring spoons on either a plate or a spoon rest so you don’t get dried messes on your countertops. Also make sure to use a cutting board when chopping. It protects the spread of germs. It also makes for an easy clean up. Simply place the cutting board in the dishwasher after every use.

STEP 4 >> USE A GARBAGE BOWL

Instead of walking over to the trash with handfuls of peelings or scraps, and of course dropping some as you go, use a bowl on the counter where you are working to collect all of your cooking waste. It is more efficient and will save you time.

STEP 5 >> SLOW DOWN

The biggest way to minimize mess is to cook slower. When you aren’t rushing and more deliberate in your measuring, chopping, and stirring, then you will make less of a mess. Take your time between each step to stay neat and help prevent those mistakes.

Hopefully the tips above will help you make less of a mess in the kitchen. I have tried to stick to all 5 when cooking myself. So as I stated before, this healthy turkey lasagna is a favorite in my household. I find it super easy to make as well as extremely flavorful. It is great for big families, or for freezing leftovers for another night. I usually like to serve it with a side salad full of vegetables I have around in my fridge. Now let’s get to that recipe:

The pan got a little dirty of course so I used my NEW Scotch-Brite® Scrubbing Dish Cloths to clean it. Want to find more great recipes and inspiration? Check them out here.
