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!”.

Well, we made it 8 years with my wild child with no broken bones...until skate night last night. Stella has a small fracture on her finger and had to get a splint at the hospital today. But in true Stella fashion, it is not slowing her down! #wildchild #mamasgirl #brokenbone #bravegirl #wildone

๐Ÿ“š We had a fun, sunny, book filled summer! My girls completed a whopping 9 summer reading programs across our local area! I am so proud that they have a  true love of reading at their young ages. For #WhatchaReadingWednesday I'm sharing this book, "101 Books To Read Before You Grow Up". It is filled with many of our favorites and many more to add to our growing list of soon to read books!
Here are our favorite books from the list:
Ava: "Tuck Everlasting"
Stella: "Charlotte's Web"
Me: "Where the Red Fern Grows"
What children's classics do you recommend?
