Angel Food Trifle

This dessert is always a HUGE hit. No matter where I take it, there is never any leftovers!

But first, you need a dish like this one. They aren't expensive, under $10 and you can get it at wal-mart or anywhere. 1 angel food cake (I buy it premade, but you could make one if you want)
1 package vanilla pudding, prepared
2 tubs of cool whip
1 package strawberries
3 bananas
1 small package bueberries
1 small package raspberries

Cut angel food cake into 1 inch squares.
Line bottom of dish with single layer of cake chunks. Spoon thin layer of vanilla pudding over cake. Line edge of bowl with alternating banana and strawberry slices, facing out. Sprinkle chunks of all fruit over the pudding. Spread layer of cool whip over fruit. Repeat all steps. On top, place one whole strawberry and a few scattered berries. Keep refridgerated until ready to serve.

*You could basically use any fruit in this dish. Also, I sometimes substitute strawberry cool whip to make it pretty pink!

Cheesy Spaghetti Bake

Sorry, it's been awhile, but I'm determined to catch up!

This is a favorite of mine I got from Megan. It's a good dish to make for someone who just had a baby or to take to a potluck. Easy to make, but takes a little while to bake. I make it the night before and then just have to heat it for dinner the next night.

Cheesy Spaghetti Bake

1 Stick of Butter
1/2 C Parm Cheese
2 Eggs
1 box cooked spaghetti
2 C Mozzarella Cheese
1 jar spaghetti sauce

Heat oven to 350 degrees
Melt 1 stick of butter in hot spaghetti. Mix in Parm cheese and 2 beaten eggs.
Spread 1/2 of mixture in 9x13 pan. Sprinkle 2 cups of mozz. cheese on spaghetti mixture in pan. Spread rest of spaghetti.
Bake for 20-25 minutes.
Remove and pour sauce over entire pan.
Bake for 10-15 minutes longer.

*I've also made it with mini-meatballs. I just put them in the middle layer with the mozzarella cheese. Also, sometime when reheating it may get a little dry. So I spread a little extra sauce underneath and over the top.
