While I love meat, I really do think that vegetarians very often get the better meal. Just look at this Artichoke Mushroom Lasagna https://bit.ly/2sDulZ0 – doesn’t it just make your mouth water? And forget about it serving 12 – I’d freeze it in slices and eat for weeks! #lasagna #makeahead #vegetarian #filling #artichokes #realmeneatmushrooms
