Today was the last day in the week of menu plans. As planned, I made Creamy Spaghetti Pie. I used to make spaghetti pie a bit when I was on Weight Watchers. I thought I’d try again with a meatless version.
It didn’t go very well, but tasted alright. I used low-fat cottage cheese instead of ricotta. That was fine. But it was all very runny. And it didn’t fit into my pie pan at all. Not sure what happened to cause all the excess water. I’m sure the leftovers are going to be amazing though.
Instead of serving it with the planned green beans, I served it with a salad so that I could try out a dressing.
Doing a menu plan for the week is nice but I need to focus on it more and read the recipes better. Maybe then I won’t end up cooking till late at night for that evening’s meal. This week is going to be a whirlwind anyway. This weekend is the conference where I present a 40-minute session on marketing to the younger generation. There’s also library board meeting, class, Toastmasters meeting, class team meeting, and more.
Then it calms down a little but not as much as it’ll calm down in December! (Right around the corner. See it? Hi! There it is.)

Wow, you have been busy! Too bad this one turned out a little funky, but hopefully it keeps the leftover from getting all dried out.
I’m swimming in the Overwhelm pool, but it keeps my mind busy.
So true about the leftovers. Sauce is good. I have lots of bread left. Yes, I’m a sauce sopper!
