Then about a year ago, I was searching for recipes for healthy eating. Avocados were in everything I saw. They were on toast, on burgers, on PIZZA! It […]
Making a new Christmas treat is one of our favorite Christmas traditions!

Lasagna Roll-Ups are a great twist on the classic homemade lasagna we all love. Made with the same ingredients, it’s a recipe your family will be asking for over and over! I made lasagna roll-ups as a “fancy dinner” for my parents when I was in high school. I was so proud of it because […]
