Mm! The problem is that we're having boring chicken and asparagus over here and I really want skillet lasagna! There is nothing about that recipe that I don't love.
Don't tell Cassidy I'm bored by his menu choices! I should be so lucky that he's cooking for me.
Raquel
LOL Tamara - Chicken with asparagus doesn't sound so bad. 🙂
