Tuesday Try A New Taste – Spinach Mushroom Lasagna – (Vegetarian Recipe)

Let me start by saying I am not a vegetarian. I like cow. And some pig. And chicken. If that offends, well, it is what it is. I have never made this particular recipe, and quite frankly, probably never will. I do however, know that a lot of pagan folks aren’t, meat eaters, and don’t want to exclude them. Everyone is entitled to choose what they feel is right for them, and who knows? You might make this and find it to be supremely yummy! Matter-of-fact, if you do make this recipe, leave me a comment and let me know how it turns out..?
