Do: Baked Ziti

This is a recipe my mother in law makes this when we visit, and it's become a family favorite!  We don't make it with ziti very often.  JD prefers pasta wheels!

Ingredients:
1 lb box pasta (ziti or other shape)
1 1/2 jars of pasta sauce (it's good with Newman's sausage sauce or homemade meat sauce!)
16oz container ricotta
1 egg
1/2 c. grated parmesan cheese
salt and pepper
8 oz fresh mozzarella

Do: 
Preheat oven to 350.  Boil past according to package directions.  Meanwhile, in a small bowl, mix egg and parm.  Add ricotta and salt and pepper to taste. 
In a 9x13 casserole dish, pour a small amount of sauce on the bottom of the pan.  Add 1/2 of your cooked pasta, and 3/4 jar of sauce.  Then top with the ricotta mixture.  Add the remaining pasta, sauce and top with thin slices of fresh mozzarella. Bake for 30 minutes or until bubbly.

Enjoy!

Blog migration

So I finally finished merging my 3 debunked blogs into one!  Domestic Dirt, Just Start Running and Lily Mountain are all now Do Love Do!  I was too complicated to maintain a family blog, a running blog, and a craft blog.....so here is my everything blog!
I brought over posts from Domestic Dirt and Lily Mountain that I thought worked with the new blog.  Just Start Running will be live until blogger kicks me out!  There were just too many posts to migrate!

As I figure out this new format, I want to start with some weekly topics.  Here is a rough idea of my plan (subject to change of course!):
Monday:  Menu Planning Monday
Tuesday:  "Do" it Tuesday....tutorial/recipe
Wednesday:  Home/Family update
Thursday: "Love It" product review  (sometimes it will be a "Leave It" review!)
Friday:  Read of the week - something online that is worth reading
Sat/Sun: anything random that comes to me!

So buckle up, it's going to be a bumpy ride!
