Tasty Tuesday: Baked Spasagna

Tuesday, August 6, 2013

Tuesday nights dinner was delicious and it was the first time I made it. I will be making it again for sure. Everyone loved it except for my toddler who refused to even try it because he is weird. This kid is italian and wont eat (or try) pasta except for mac and cheese.... UGH! Work with me here kid! So he ate strawberries for dinner.
