Spring, Veggies, and Lasagna = A Perfect Match!


Spring is in the air, and it’s time for fresh, vibrant flavours! If you're looking for a lighter, veggie-packed twist on classic comfort food, my Mediterranean Lasagna is the perfect dish.

It’s a vegetarian delight that feels just right for this time of year! Did I mention the goat cheese? Yum.
