Creamy Chicken Lasagne with Red Peppers and Mozarella
There’s something about making lasagne that feels comforting. For me it’s, that it forces you to slow down for an hour and focus on something simple and good.

When I was 15, I decided I wanted to be a doctor.My parents were thrilled, and honestly, so was I. It felt like the kind of goal you could proudly hang your entire future on — smart, respected, stable. I spent most of my teenage years working toward it, and when I got into university…
