Easy Spaghetti

1 lb spaghetti noodles
25 oz jar marinara (pasta sauce)
1 lb ground beef

Cook ground beef, pour off any excess grease into trash. Stir in sauce.
Boil pasta in 5 quart pot on high boil (but not so it boils over), according to time in directions.

Serve with a vegetable. Half this recipe barely feeds our family...so a full recipe is probably necessary unless served with another side dish.

Banana Cream Pie

Banana Cream Pie

I made this using the 3 T cornstarch option, and topped it with whipped cream (1/2 c blended with 1 T sugar). The pudding I reduced the sugar to 1/3 cup. The pie would have been disgustingly sweet with the whole 3/4. The pudding recipe is very similar to the Betty Crocker one I make a lot, which also uses 1/3 cup sugar.

Caramelized onion quiche

This was good, but took a long time and gruyere is a little too expensive. It is a good vegetarian option when needed though.
