Spaghetti Pie, garlic bread
This is a good way to use leftover spaghetti.
I just mix 1 egg, some parmesan, and mozzarella cheese into the leftover spaghetti noodles. Press into a lightly greased pie plate. I had some leftover hamburger meat from the week so I put some of that on top. Then, I topped it with the small amount of leftover spaghetti sauce and some more mozzarella cheese. Bake covered for about 20-25 min., then uncover until the cheese melts completely and is golden. Josh loves this meal! If you have extra spaghetti sauce that is good to serve along side. I didn't have any so I made a quick bechamel sauce and added parmesan cheese.
I confess, we fell in love with the pico and guacamole I tried earlier in the week so I planned our meal around that. This is our favorite enchilada recipe. Josh loves it because it has bacon in it.

Baked Ham, baked sweet potatoes, green beans, biscuits
This is the last of the ham I have had in my freezer. I made a large recipe of biscuits last week and froze about 1 dozen of them. I can just pull out a couple and reheat them.

I bought some orange marmalade that I will mix with some orange juice to make a glaze for these pan seared pork chops. I cut the pork chops and froze them separately when I bought the pork loin at Sam's Club last week.
