Spaghetti Pie

This isn't a pinterest recipe, it's a recipe from my mom. I'm not sure where she got it but she started making it when I was still living at home. I haven't made it in the longest time, but now that I recently made it I wanted to share it because it's SO GOOD!!

1 (16oz) box of spaghetti noodles
3 eggs
1 tsp. salt
1 (24oz) container of cottage cheese
1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese
1/4 cup grated parmesan cheese
1 jar spaghetti sauce


Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Boil noodles to package instructions. Drain and let cool. Spray 9x13 inch dish with cooking spray and set aside.

In large bowl whisk together eggs and salt. Add mozz. and parm. cheese.


Add egg mix to noodles and mix together, making sure to coat all the noodles.


Pour noodle mixture into prepared dish and spread evenly.


Add layer of cottage cheese over noodles, spreading evenly. Add spaghetti sauce to the top and spread evenly also.


I added some more mozz. cheese to the top because I believe there's no such thing as too much cheese.


Cover with foil. Bake at 350 for 40 minutes. Remove foil and bake for another 10 minutes.



YUM!!

Growing up

This past week was Marley's first day of preschool.  She goes half day on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. She was so excited about starting school, and was asking if it was time to leave two hours before it really was time to leave.




Checking in

By her cubby 

Poor Mike. So sad his baby is growing up.
 Here are the papers that Marley brought home from her first week at school.



 I have a brilliant idea of what I am going to do with all the school papers she brings home- You'll have to wait until May to find out what is it though.

After we picked Marley up on her first day she said "I love school"  We then came home, had a snack and headed to her first swimming lesson.



 Of course, she loved it and before we made it to the car she asked when she could come back. She has swimming on Monday and Wednesdays. We're keeping her busy that's for sure!

Basket Case

I persuaded Mike to go to some yard sales with me a few weekends ago. I found this basket for $0.50.



 At the time I had no idea what to do with it, but figured for that price I could find some use for it.  Once we got home I decided I wanted to spray paint it because we'll it's pretty ugly. Well, I didn't get to because Mike jumped in and did it for me.




 It looks so much better now.



After it sat out and dried I still didn't know what to use it for. Once I brought it inside I noticed all Mason's "toys" sitting around and decided that it would be his toy basket. He loves it!
