Vegan Lasagna I
This lasagna is VERY good and is also a vegan recipe.
Asian Fire Meat
For a great tasting beef dish from Asia, fire meat is delicious and easy to prepare. Ice cold beer is the beverage recommended with fire meat.
Teriyaki Sauce
This is a great marinade for pork, chicken and steak. My family loves it as is has a little kick. Add your choice of meat, and marinate for 3 to 4 hours before grilling.
