BAKED RAVIOLI

1 Bag of frozen ravioli
1 jar of marinara sauce (I used Ragu)
2 cups of mozzarella cheese
Instructions:
Heat oven to 400°F. Spray bottom and sides of a 9×13 baking dish with
cooking spray.
Spread 3/4 cup of the pasta sauce in baking dish. Put half of the
frozen ravioli in a single layer over sauce; top with half of the
remaining pasta sauce and 1 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Repeat
layers once, starting with ravioli. Sprinkle with grated  cheese.
3) Cover with aluminum foil and bake for a half an hour. Remove foil;
bake uncovered 10-15 minutes longer or until bubbly and hot in center.
Let stand 10 minutes – enjoy!

I made this on a Thursday evening when Peg and David joined me.  They
raved about it!  (actually they liked it more than I liked it)

TRY THIS NEW RECIPE FOR PANCAKES

Susan Lynn If you like pancakes, I've been living off of this recipe: 2 eggs, 1 banana, 1/2 cup oats, 1/4 cup applesauce,

1/2 tsp cinnamon, 1/2 tsp vanilla (I think that is the right amount of vanilla). Put it all in the blender and cook as normal

pancakes. I believe each batch has two servings and I make my pancakes small enough so I get seven pancakes per serving. 

Pot Luck Mac and Cheese

the last couple of times I made mac and cheese from my favorite recipe, I was disappointed so I decided to try a new one and I am glad I did!

HO HO HOliday Bark

I think I found this recipe in one of those  "inserted magazines" that come with the Sunday paper.

Directions

1. Melt chocolate chips in the microwave. ...
2. Sprinkle assorted chopped candy, mini cookies and sprinkles on top, pressing into the soft chocolate.
3. Refrigerate until fully hardened, 30–45 minutes.
   
4. Cut or break into pieces and store in an airtight container in a cool place for up to 5 days.
   

I used my double boiler to melt the chocolate chips instead of in the microwave.  The melted nicely and I followed the rest of the recipe

The new PYREX storage bowls with the red tops are perfect for storing this, but I don't think storage will be necessary for long.  

Apple Gouda Quesidillas

I sliced an apple really  thin.  I took two flour tortillas and folded each in half.  I put slices of apple between layers of gouda cheese.  I sprayed my frying pan with PAM and heated it over a medium flame and them placed the folded tortillas in the pan.  After 2.5 minutes,  I flipped them over and heated for two more minutes.

They were delicious!!!!!

I had the rest of the apple slices dipped in  blueberry yogurt.
