Oops....a forgotten Recipe

So, I had said I was going to post a recipe, earlier, and forgot (related to cooking for a lady who had a baby)

"Stuffed Shells Casserole"

If you find it annoying to spend the time making manicotti or stuffed shells because of all the stuffing that is involved, this will be right up your alley, as it is mine.

Stir together:
24 oz cottage cheese or ricotta
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 lb chopped, frozen spinach (thawed, preferably)
2 tblspoons chopped, fresh herbs (choose from basil, parsley, oregano, thyme, marjoram)
6oz grated mozzeralla
salt and pepper to taste

Boil 1lb little pasta shells, and stir (while hot is fine) into above mix.

Pour mixture into a pyrex baking dish (at least a 9X13"). Top with a Marinara Sauce of your choice, and 6 more oz. mozzerella. Bake in a 350F oven until bubbly (and cheese is beginning to golden). Serve with bread and a hearty salad. Macky has loved this dish since she started eating solids...

Bon appetit!

Sounds absolutely delicious. How is life treating you these days? How's Rachel? Enjoying her travels? Can't wait for the next recipe :)

Rachel is on her way to Milan--doing well. To see where she stayed in Interlaken, Switzerland, go to google and search for Balmer's Hostel. Gives you pictures of the hostel and Interlaken, and a true taste of Switzerland--amazing views. Also, for all you Google Earth fans out there, you need to check it out---loads of good photos to connect to in the Interlaken area.

As for my life, well, busy! (and Murrin is still teething and screaming in the middle of the night). Anway, I'll try to post soon about the first couple of days of Chip's classes etc...soon
