This recipes is a great way to sneak one of the healthiest greens you can eat, into a cheesy tomatoey goodness that your kids will LOVE!!! I also love it because you get to stuff the uncooked manicotti shells. Have you ever tried to stuff cooked ones? It is no fun at all!!!
Spinach Cheese Manicotti
Ingredients
1 (15 ounce) container ricotta cheese
1 (10 ounce) package frozen chopped spinach, thawed and squeezed dry
1/2 cup minced onion
1 egg
2 teaspoons minced fresh parsley
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1 1/2 cups shredded mozzarella cheese, divided
1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided
2 (26 ounce) jars spaghetti sauce
1 1/2 cups water
1 (8 ounce) package manicotti shells
Directions
Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
In a large bowl, combine ricotta, spinach, onion and egg. Season with parsley, pepper and garlic powder. Mix in 1 cup mozzarella and 1/4 cup Parmesan. In a separate bowl, stir together spaghetti sauce and water.
Spread 1 cup sauce in the bottom of a 9x13 inch baking dish. Stuff uncooked manicotti shells with ricotta mixture, and arrange in a single layer in the dish. Cover with remaining sauce. Sprinkle with remaining mozzarella and Parmesan.
Bake in preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes, or until noodles are soft.
We serve with garlic bread and a caesar salad!
I am sorry if this bores you but, if you ask my friends... I am the mom that takes my daughter to a friends house with CRAZY hair in the eyes. But, when I pick her up, she always has a pony tail or something! My friends say, "Well, I didn't think she liked having her hair in her eyes :)" Probably not! So, this is a big change for me, but I am actually excited every morning to do her hair now! I think she is the cutest little girl on the planet - but she is mine, so I am partial!
Here is todays do :) Kinda fun, made this one up myself too. Lightning bolt part that turned out to be piggy tails! Fun.
Here is how I did Kyla's hair today.
I actually made this one up myself. 
I wanted it secured off her face, but still different and fun.
I am having so much fun playing with her hair! If she only had a little more of it! If anyone has a daughter with lots of hair (Rachel, Jacquie, etc) You hear me right? I would love to play with your daughters hair and see what I can come up with!
