Recipe Sharing

Meat is NOT Kylie's favorite thing. She is not a vegetarian, but we like to tease her like she is. So, I decided to try and find a LASAGNA recipe that was vegetarian, and I did! We had it Monday night. It was good. Kerry said it was GREAT! (Kylie is at soccer and she has not eaten it yet; her review to come later.)

Give it a try!

Tell me how you like it!
