Cook spaghetti according to the directions on box. 
I really love Pot-Sized Spaghetti. No more breaking or cutting noodles!
Drain your hot spaghetti noodles then add to a large bowl.
Add beaten eggs, Parmesan cheese and butter.
 Mix well.
Using your hands, pat the mixture into a 9-10 inch pie plate to form a crust.
Top crust with cottage cheese and spread to cover.
Meanwhile add ground beef to a skillet and cook until browned. 
Drain grease.
I like to use an affordable but good quality pasta sauce like this one.
I chose a basic Four Cheese flavor so it would be kid friendly.
Drain and add to a bowl along with the marinara sauce. 
Pour the sauce on top of the cottage cheese and spread to cover.
Bake at 350 degrees for 20 minutes.
Remove from oven and sprinkle on 1 cup Italian shredded cheese, covering the top.
Bake for 5 more minutes or until bubbly and the cheese is melted. 
Hot out of the oven! 
Let stand 5 minutes before cutting.
Slice and serve warm with a side salad.
That is the face of an excited toddler! 
You better believe she ate it all and asked for “More, please!”.

❤️This week marks 2 years since our beloved cocker spaniel Dylan passed away. I created this free printable Rainbow Bridge poem on the blog in honor of Dylan. It can be customized with your pet's photo and would be a  cherished framed gift for someone who has lost a special pet. #rainbowbridge #doglove #dogheaven #rip #mydog  #neverforgotten #rainbowbridge🌈

🌯Late #CincoDeMayo post! My first visit to @forttacostl last night was delicious! I tried a variety and loved it all. They were out of pork but that gives me an excuse to go back and try the al pastor pork and homemade sauce next time!

We spent Earth Day 2022 in Springfield at the picnic and a movie event in the gardens. It was the perfect sunny afternoon with a breeze and we shared a delicious charcuterie picnic and watched "Bee Movie". The girls did crafts, played in the park, listened to speakers and poetry, and @theparkboard gave us a tree to take home. We had a great time and everyone slept the whole drive home (except Mom)! #earthday2022 #springfieldmo #missourilife #movienight #earthday #picnic #familyfun
