Apple Cinnamon Pancakes and Creamy Cinnamon Syrup

These are the best pancakes I've ever had, but what makes them really great is the syrup!

Pancake Ingredients:
1 1/4 c. lowfat milk
1 1/2 tsp olive oil
1 apple - cored and diced
1 1/2 tsp baking powder
1/2 tsp salt
2 Tbsp sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 tsp nutmet
1 cup whole grain flour

Directions:
Place ingredients in blender and blend until well blended.

Syrup Ingredients:
1/2 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup water
1/2 cup sugar
1/2 tsp cinnamon
1/2 cup evaporated milk

Directions: My blender has a syrup function, so I just use that and it blends and warms this delicious syrup.  You could try doing it in any blender, just keep blending for 90 seconds.  OR you could stir it over low heat on your stove until the sugar is dissolved.  YUM!

Baked Spaghetti

This recipe may not sound that great, but we REALLY love it at our house.  It is a thick, cheesy caserole - kind of an alternative to lasagna.  It is pretty easy to throw together and then  you can freeze it or put it in your fridge for later.  It makes a ton of food, good for leftovers or for sharing with neighbors.

Ingredients

• 1 (16 ounce) package spaghetti or angel hair pasta (you can really sub any type of pasta here)
• 1 pound ground beef (sometimes I leave this out if I don't have it)
• 1 medium onion, chopped
• 1 (26 ounce) jar meatless spaghetti sauce
• 1/2 teaspoon seasoned salt
• 2 eggs
• 1/3 cup grated Parmesan cheese
• 5 tablespoons butter, melted
• 2 cups small curd cottage cheese
• 4 cups shredded mozzarella cheese

Directions

1. Cook spaghetti according to package directions. Meanwhile, in a large skillet, cook beef and onion over medium heat until meat is no longer pink; drain. Stir in the spaghetti sauce and seasoned salt; set aside.
2. In a large bowl, whisk the eggs, Parmesan cheese and butter. Drain spaghetti; add to egg mixture and toss to coat.
3. Place half of the spaghetti mixture in a greased 13-in. x 9-in. x 2-in. baking dish. Top with half of the cottage cheese, meat sauce and mozzarella cheese. Repeat layers. Cover and bake at 350 degrees F for 40 minutes. Uncover; bake 20-25 minutes longer or until cheese is melted.
