Oh, my goodness…I can’t believe that my sweet “little girl”, Miss SiSi, is graduating from 6th grade this year! Do you remember your elementary school graduation???
The inspiration for my strata, comes from this yummy recipe at The Urban Baker that I have made for my family several times now.
For my own ReDux version, I’ve swapped out the meat for all veggies, cut back on the cheese a little, and added a delicious twist with my fresh Greek salsa.
Trust me when I tell you that the “strata” and the “salsa” pair fabulously together!
