Spaghetti Pizza Casserole-Ashley

Spaghetti Pizza Casserole

1 large spaghetti squash (cooked-cut in half and lay cut side down on cookie sheet, cook in oven at 400 degrees for 25 min)
1 lb Italian sausage
1/2 diced onion
1 c spaghetti sauce
1 t basil (I use Italian seasoning)
3 whisked eggs

While the spaghetti squash is cooking, brown sausage and onion in pan. Add spaghetti sauce and seasoning once cooked. After spaghetti squash is cooked, turn oven down to 350 degrees.
Spoon out seeds and then scrape out as much spaghetti squash as possible with a fork. Put in bottom of an 8x8 dish. Add sausage mixture to squash and mix really well. Then add eggs and mix the whole thing really well. Put in oven uncovered and cook for an hour. This is crazy amazing! Not a lot of food-Jeff and I share it for a couple of meals so you'd have to double for a larger family. I just give the kids spaghetti and noodles on that night-it's nice to have something special every once in a while-this is also really healthy! Enjoy :)

Magic Morning Oatmeal-Melissa

My friend made this for me while I was visiting in Houston-I am hooked! I could eat it for every meal, no exaggeration. I limit myself to making it on the weekends :)

Recipe:

1 c sugar
1 egg
1 c milk
1/3 c oil
1 T vanilla
1 t baking powder
1 t salt
1/2 t cinnamon
1/4 t nutmeg
3 c old-fashioned oats (I have made it with quick oats before-it works, but I think the rolled oats are better :)

Preheat oven to 350. Mix egg, sugar, oil, milk and vanilla really well. Add dry ingredients. Pour into greased 8x8 pan, bake for 30 min. Serve with nuts, (pecans and walnuts are my fav!) berries, and either whipped or normal cream. Try not to eat the entire pan :)
