Hair Bugs!

Jada was not the type to keep anything in her hair. She was always the kid who looked like a street urchin. then out of the blue, shortly after turning 2, she came up to me holding a bobby pin that had a flowe on it and kept telling me it was a hair bug! Therefore the title “Hair Bugs”.

So going with the same theme I bought bow tie pasta, they are now Hair bug pasta!!! Yummy I know ;) but all it was was Bow Tie Pasta with butter and Parmesan. There are those out there that will tell you that giving food items cool shapes and names will encourage toddlers to eat better, well they are wrong. It didn't work with Jada lol ;) The only requests I've had all day from a certain bossy 2 year old were for treats, candy, cookies and chocolate milk. Needless to say I didn't give in ;)

But on yummier note....

So I was going to make my normal Lasagna with meat and other yummy's with. But at the last minute decided to attempt a rather simple recipe of Carmen's. It's exceptionally simple, but the one time I had actually made it it turned out really runny (not a good thing for a lasagna and it happened to be Eric's Birthday lol : p ) Any way her lasagna is nothing but cheese, cheese, cheese, sauce and noodles! Well I couldn't remember her exact layering so I did my own. Heres what I did.....

4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 large container of Large Curd Cottage cheese
1 jar spaghetti sauce
9 Lasagna Noodles

I layered it as such:
3 noodles
mozzarella
cottage cheese
3 noodles
sauce
mozzarella
cottage cheese
3 noodles
sauce
sprinkling of mozzarella

I cooked it at 350* for 45 minutes, in a 9x13 (obviously) and it was covered in foil as well. It was AMAZING!!!!!!! Not on my healthier menus but it worked out great and it took less dishes than my other lasagna recipe, which is always a plus. Next time I'll have to take a picture because it turned out pretty too :D
