Dinner is served

So the excitement of my days for the past 2 days have consisted of wondering what my friend was going to cook for dinner! Tonight we are having Chicken and Wild Rice with Fresh Tomatoes and Basil on top. Last night we had Fake Lasagna. It was so yummy. I asked her for the recipe and it was so simple I thought I would share.
