Lasagna made with pepperoni, yummy yum yum! What a great idea to add pepperoni to lasagna, only wish I had thought of that!
I am great at following recipes, but not so great at creating recipes. Many years ago when I first started cooking I thought you had to follow a recipe exactly. Over the years I have learned that a recipe is a guide that can easily be changed to suits your needs and tastes. Maybe some day in the future I will get better at creating recipes, but for now I am happy to to find recipes and tweak them to suit my family.
Enjoy!!!
