This lasagna was amazing! The recipe comes from a family from my church who sends a favorite recipe in their Christmas letter each year. While this recipe is from their 2007 letter, better late than never! I don’t recommend waiting 5 years before you try it though! It’s perfect for this time of year whereRead more

Woke up (too early for a Saturday) thinking about my grocery shopping list for the day. I’m catering for my 8-year old cousin’s birthday party tomorrow, and don’t want to forget a thing.
