I made this lasagne soup on a whim a few years ago and it was an instant family favorite. Then I taught it in one of my bootcamps and I am still getting rave reviews! It’s so easy and you can make it with meat or veggies or both. I honestly use whatever I have in the fridge/pantry, but you know I love to add lots of veggies to everything! The soup will taste as good as the marinara sauce you use since that is the flavor base. Enjoy!

I like to make my pancake batter the day before and refrigerate it for a really easy morning!Continue reading

And to take it one step further, you can use this salsa verde on many more seasonal vegetables and it is also fabulous with fish. You can definitely make the salsa verde ahead but remember to pull it out so the olive oil becomes room temp and liquid again. It is packed with bright flavors!Continue reading
