Lunch today gave everyone a delicious choice between homemade lasagna with zucchini and carrots or classic liver and onions with fried potatoes and carrots. We started the meal with a fresh salad of greens, tomatoes, and red onions. Another comforting homemade meal from our Bread Basket Scratch Kitchen at Bickford of Virginia Beach!
