Gluten Free Vegan Mexican Lasagna

Sub title:
It's delicious I swear.
I can't believe this is happening, but I made a quite tasty gluten-free-vegan-Mexican lasagna this week. Wow that's a mouthful. No really it's a mouthful...of deliciousness!! Groan...

I took Rachel Ray's recipe from the Food Network and just did an easy swap out. Remember just do it? Easy swap out. Easy to make and great for parents who need a lot of healthy food in little time. Make double the portion and have leftovers-Jason and I did and it was just as good reheated.

Mazatlan...aka Marzipan

Mazatlan, Mexico. All we wanted was guacamole, margaritas, and the beach. We got them all. Surprise, surprise! We rode to the "Golden Zone"of Marzipan, I mean Mazatlan, in a party taxi...basically an open truck with benches and a huge boombox playing hit tunes from the 80's-90's cusp generation. ie. "You can't touch this", "Ice, Ice Baby", and "Busta Move". Made me feel young again. Please note the expertise of our waiter serving us our margaritas.

Puerto Vallarta, Mexico

I love this port! I wasn’t too crazy about Mexico at first because of the heat and demanding street vendors. Would you like you hair braided lady? Newlyweds? Would you like tattoo? painted shell? sunglasses? massage for you? chiclets? fruit on a stick? tequila?
Yeah, I can’t take it. But my trip to Tulum last spring and ports like Puerto Vallarta definitely have changed my mind about Me-hico. Puerto Vallarta is so clean, and quaint, and the weather was beautiful. We ate a delicious and super cheap Mexican brunch and walked around the city. Our cruise officially ended today and I am really sad so I am going to back it up and describe our adventures over the next couple of days on the blogedy blog to make me feel better.;)
