Budget Recipe: Lynn’s Favourite Lemon Pasta Recipe
A little bit about Lynn
Carleton isn’t home to just students from Ontario; we have many students that come to Carleton from all over the country! Lynn is here to help with the students that apply for government financial aid from other provinces throughout Canada. From BC to PEI, Lynn is around if you have questions about your out-of-province financial aid!
This recipe is perfect for a date night and watching The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills. It’s really quick and easy to make, and every time I make it my dog and cat both try to eat it. And the lemon is really important to help keep you well during the winter.
