Zucchini Lasagna


I found this awesome recipe for Zucchini lasagna that I couldn't wait to share!
I was VERY VERY skeptical at first.
Who on gods green earth eats a vegtables in place of a noodle?
And makes it for the first time on their husbands birthday?
Well, I guess I'm gonna.
Luckily it turned out amazing.
My husband loved it and so did my son!  
Win Win!  
I love my pasta so if I didn't think this was worth it I wouldn't share it with y'all. 
I give this one 5 big fat stars!

Here's original recpie I started with from Brokeandbougie's website. Thanks!!!  
I didn't follow it exact,  I made some modifications to fit me but for the most part it's the same.
I stink at pics so bare with me, food pics just aren't my thing.
