BBQ Pork Roast
Punted on Sunday, well it’s football season folks…had to get some extra practice in.  I bumped our crock pot BBQ roast up to Sunday dinner.  I let it cook overnight Saturday night.  The girls have taken lunch several days and we have enough left to use for stuffed potatoes on Wednesday.  Yeah me!

Ingredients
Pork roast
½ cup Brown sugar
1 cup Vinegar
1 cup Ketchup
Paprika, salt, pepper to taste

Put the roast in crock pot on low setting.  Mixed remaining ingredients and poured over roast.  It cooked over night for about 8 hours on low.

Penne Spinach Pasta
Last Thursday’s spinach penne pasta was a big hit with Maddie and AnnaBelle…they both requested leftovers for lunch.  As expected, Carlee wouldn’t touch it.  She has become a very picky eater.  However, I have told her “if you don’t eat what I have fixed, you eat peanut butter bread.”  And that is what she did.

It was easy to make…a requirement these days.  Not completely homemade but close enough for my crowd.

Ingredients
Whole wheat penne pasta
48 oz. pasta sauce
16 oz. ricotta cheese
1 egg
Pre-shredded Italian blend cheese
1 bag of chopped spinach (pic sweet brand)

Boiled the pasta with some olive oil and garlic salt seasoning.  When almost done, drained half the water.  Added the bag of frozen pasta in the pot with the pasta and let sit while I mixed ricotta cheese, egg and Italian blend.

Sprayed a glass 11 X 17 baking dish.  Drained pasta and spinach and poured into dish.  Spread cheese mixture over the pasta.  Covered with pasta sauce.  Topped with remaining shredded cheese.  Baked on a low temperature (about 325) for 30ish minutes or so.  Served with white wheat toasted buns.
