    bolognese and vegetarian? that is something hard to believe but if you could, then why not me? I am not vegetarian but I do prefer the vegetables over meat, and almost all the times, lasagna is made with meat…

  • Stacy says:

    Some of these recipes just sound so silly, but then you read through the ingredients list and just imagine the tastes blending all together, and they sound SOOO good! I have always been a fan of “grain” recipes, so I think I’m definitely going to give that one a try first. The chicken lasagna also sounds rather delectable.
