Recipe: How about Green & White Lasagna

Sharon: You obviously have the true giving and sharing spirit of the holiday.

One suggestion might be green and white lasagna.... no beef in this casserole in case there are some non-beef eaters in the group. Some garlic bread or rolls and a jell-o salad would make this a FEAST, not a lunch.

Make the jell-o red and you'll have a red-and-green meal!!

Here is one recipe. I would add chicken or turkey, myself.
