Pasta Bake
1 box rotini noodles (uncooked)
1 can spaghetti sauce
 + 1 can of water (use the spaghetti sauce can)
1 bag mozzarella cheese


Stir noodles  sauce and water together (add some garlic or other spices if you want) bake in large casserole pan at 425 for 30 minutes, stir, add mozzarella cheese, bake for another 10 - 15 minutes.

If you buy the generic things it shouldn't cost more than $4 or $5 and it's awfully easy to make. Feeds 4 - 5 people. Have some garlic toast on the side.

It's what I'm making for dinner tonight.

The potato pancakes sound yummy!! I usually freeze what can be frozen...I also freezer cook, so when I make a meal I usually make a double and freeze the copy...it saves me time later, because then all I have to do is unthaw and cook....it tastes just like I made it that night...and it's healthier and more cost efficient than frozen meals that you buy....

I also like to make casseroles out of some left overs...and the other night I had left over chili, after eating chili for 3 nights...so I added some velveeta and made chili cheese nachos....I still have chili left...lol...so I am going to make chili cheese dogs tonight....

I know that's alot of chili, but it saves money!!!

i have four chickens.

i feed them my food scraps and they lay eggs in return. : )

three FRESH eggs a day. (i have three hens and one rooster) but knowing that these eggs are naturally organic and clean of all pesticides that they would use on the farm they just taste better. and i've noticed the shells are a lot harder than the eggs at the store. i would guess that means the chickens are healtheir.

and if i dont have enough food scraps to keep them fed, i feed them grass from when i mow the lawn. i keep them in a chicken coop and their crap makes good compost too.

its really a great thing. and also waking up to the rooster crowing every morning is just a feeling that makes waking up a little more pleasurable.

: )

Where do you live? Is it a rural area? I live in the suburbs and I don't know how well my neighbors would take to being woken up by crowing roosters.

i live in the middle of the city Phoenix, Arizona. my neighbors love it. when i first got them they actually came over to tell me that they loved it and they wanted to see them. of course my neighbors dont really sleep in too much since they work. but i'm sure that if they keep the window closed, the crowing wouldn't be loud enough to wake them up since i sometimes sleep through it and its in my own back yard and i have a window facing the back yard. you also do not need to have a rooster. i only got it along with the hens because i plan on eventually when i have the money get an incubator and try to hatch some chicks out of it and try to sell them for a couple extra bucks.
