Stuffed Shells

What's for dinner? Stuffed Shells

I love to plan ahead and have meals ready in the freezer. This is always a good thing but with having a baby around you never quite know how the day is gonna go. I currently have 3 meals ready to go: buttermilk herb chicken, lentil shepherd's pie, and these stuffed shells.

Stuffed Shells

1# burger

1 onion, diced

1 can or 1 handful mushrooms, chopped

1 t garlic pwdr

1 pkg chopped spinach

2 c cottage cheese

1 1/2 t dried parsley

1 c parm cheese

pepper

1 box jumbo shells

1 jar spaghetti sauce

2 c mozz cheese

Cook together first 4 ingred. and drain. Mix in the rest but the sauce and pasta.

Stuff into jumbo shells and place in a 9x13, or 2 8x8. Top with sauce then mozz cheese. Bake at 350 until hot and bubbly.

My quiet time

While the four children in my house are supposed to be sleeping I will take a moment of quiet time to tell all of you what is on my 'to make' list. I wish this included the quilt I am working on or the 1 1/2 years of scrapbooking to be done. Alas...

For the cookout tomorrow strawberry Chantilly.

Baby food for Wren: applesauce, carrots, acorn squash

Stuffed shells, which I will divid into 2 pie pans and put one in the freezer. I am going to try a new recipe from allrecipes. I already cooked the burger yesterday so I just have to cook the pasta and put it together. I will try to post how it is.

Another thing for the freezer is a once a month cooking recipe for buttermilk herb chicken. I love these type of recipes because when chicken is on sale you freeze the meat in meal sizes with the marinade so while it thaws it takes on the flavor. Then cook it when you are ready.

I have lots of fruit and veggies to cut, cook, whip, and clean up from so I better get to it.
