Cherry Cobbler


1 stick butter, room temp

3/4 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp vanilla

1 can of cherry pie filling

In a small mixing bowl, cream together butter and sugars. Beat in egg. Add the dry ingredients, then the vanilla. Spoon some of the batter into the bottom of a pie dish. Pour cherries on top. Spoon the rest of the batter on top. Sprinkle cinnamon & sugar on top.

Bake at 350 for 45 minutes.

Serve with Snelgrove's canadian vanilla ice cream. Yum!



Spaghetti


Growing up, we had spaghetti once a week. Usually on Monday's. It's Loo-loo's favorite and luckily for me, Danny's favorite too.

So Danny and I continue the tradition spaghetti- once a week. Usually on days that I don't feel like making anything else- it's easy, fast, and we love it!

3/4 pkg spaghetti noodles (less or more, depending on how hungry you are)
1 can tomato sauce (We like S&W organic from Costco)
1/2 pkg McCormic Thick & Zesty Spaghetti sauce mix (heaping 1/8 cup)
1 TB Newman's Own Balsamic Vinaigrette Dressing
shredded mozzarella cheese

In a small saucepan, combine tomato sauce, spices and dressing. Set it on low, and stick a lid on it.

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, bring salted water to a boil. Add noodles, and cook for 12 minutes, or until al dente. Drain.

Sprinkle with cheese, and pour sauce on top. Enjoy!
