First post...

I want to start the blog off by introducing myself and what I plan to use this blog for.  I have recently gotten married and started a new job.  I work a ton of hours and like my meals to be quick and easy.  I am known for using my crock pot every week and love left overs.  I hope you enjoy reading and find some of the recipes helpful.  I buy most of my groceries at Trader Joes as it is the cheapest!! I will state if I have gotten a product somewhere else and hope to use pictures- so you can not only read the blog but see what my meals look like.  Today for lunch I had Strawberries with Goat's Milk Yogurt, sliced almonds and chia seeds.  What a great little snack- I plan to substitute the strawberries for grapes and cantaloupe throughout the week.  I also had a frozen soup- french onion and a roll.  Who knows what's for dinner?

So I know what's for dinner.  Stuff shells and pull apart rolls... yumm.... 

1 16 oz box of jumbo shells (i couldn't find Jumbo so I used the biggest they had)
4 cups of cottage cheese
12 oz of shredded mozzarella cheese
1/2 cup of grated parmesan cheese
2 eggs lightly beaten 
1 pinch of garlic
1 tsp of dried oregeno 
1 tsp of dried parsley
1 jar of your favorite spaghetti sauce ( i used a veggie blend and a vodka ** not together)
1/4 cup of grated parmesan cheese

directions: Cook your shells according to the directions then drain and put on a cookie sheet so they do not stick to each other.
Mix together the cottage , mozzarella and parmesan cheeses, eggs and the garlic powder. Rub herbs between your hands then mix into the mixture.
Stuff the shells with the cheese mixture

Put 1/3 of the sauce on the bottom of the pan then add the shells.  
Spread the remaining sauce on top with the 1/4 cup of parmesan cheese. 
Bake at 350 for 30 minutes and let stand 10 minutes before eating.  ENJOY :)
