Meat Manicotti

Ingredients:
1# ground beef of turkey
1 box of manicotti noodles
3/4 cup seasoned bread crumbs
1/4 cup grated Parmesan cheese
1 egg, slightly beaten
1 tsp parsley
salt and pepper to taste
1 jar spaghetti sauce

Directions:
Brown ground beef or turkey in a pan.  While browning, boil noodles to package directions (use the low end, so if it says 8 -10 minutes, stop at 8).  Drain noodles and rinse with cold water.  Preheat oven to 350F.  Drain fat off beef or turkey and mix in remaining ingredients. 

Pour some sauce on the bottom of a 9x13 inch pan.  Fill each manicotti noodle with meat mixture and lay in pan.  Pour remaining sauce over noodles.  Bake for 30 minutes.  Sometimes I will add shredded mozzarella the last 5 minutes of cooking. 

Enjoy!

First Day of Kindergarten

It's hard to believe this day is here.  Today is the first day of kindergarten for my oldest son!  It went smooth and he was so excited to get on that bus!  I was able to hold back tears until after the bus pulled away.  I am so proud of him and how independent he is!  He is gong to love kindergarten and I cannot wait to share in all of his experiences!

I hope he has a great first day and I will be waiting for him when he gets off that bus to give him a big hug!
