Cheesy Avocado Lasagna Roll Ups are a delicious and filling vegetarian dinner that the whole family will love. Do you receive the Overtime Cook email newsletter? It’s full of recipes, kitchen tips, menus and more! Click here to sign up. Its the 9 days this week - a period of mourning in the Jewish Calendar when we don't do a number of things, including drinking wine and eating meat.
