Start of something new

Ok here goes....
I am gonna start blogging probably not everyday, but at least once a week. I plan to post recipes, design work i am working on, crafty projects and pics and fun daily events i experience as a stay at home mommy. There were so many times i wanted to start this blog, i just didn't know how...i guess the best way is to jump in head first with both feet.

Last week i tried a new recipe featured on Mommyhatescooking.com.
It was so easy to make and it got rave reviews from my hubby...he kept making noises and constantly saying "Yum, oh gosh this is so good!"

In the recipe it called for egg substitute, i didn't have any so i didn't use it and the dish still tasted great...next time i think i will add one egg just to help bind it together a little better.

Baked Cheesy Penne

Ingredients:

16oz Box of Penne Pasta
1 Tbsp of Butter
1/2 Tsp of Basil
1/2 Tsp of Parsley
1/2 Tsp of Garlic Salt
1/4 Cup of Flour
1/4 Cup of Water
1 Cup of Skim Milk
1/3 Cup of All White Egg Substitute
1 Cup Shredded Mozzarella Cheese
26 oz Spaghetti Sauce
1 lb Ground Beef

Preheat oven to 350*.

Cook the pasta as directed, once drained mix the egg whites and the pasta in a bowl. Set aside.

In a sauce pan, melt the butter, adding in the basil, parsley, garlic salt, flour, water, and milk. Continue to stir these ingredients until they are in a smooth consistency.

In a nonstick skillet, fully cook the ground beef. Once fully cooked mix in with the noodles.

Spray a 9 x 13 baking dish with nonstick spray, then pour the noodle mixture in the bottom of the dish. Spoon the white sauce mixture over the top of the noodles, then cover with the spaghetti sauce. Finally top it off with cheese.

Bake this in the oven for 20 minutes.
