​We have found one of our favorite new types of pie: Spaghetti Pie! This Cape Cod Moms Tasty Tuesday recipe has us super excited for a new twist on an old favorite. A huge bonus.... the kids love it especially since they can dip it! Make it plain or add your favorite ingredients, either way you can't go wrong! We had plenty of leftovers for lunch and a dinner or two after, so this meal is the perfect weeknight recipe to use!
Let us know what you think and what your favorite extra ingredients are!
Boil a 16 oz box of spaghetti. Adding salt to taste until cooked.
Then prepare a 12 inch + skillet pan with olive oil or cooking spray with no heat.
Add salt, pepper, parsley to taste.
Add grated romano cheese to your liking. We recommend at least 7 ounces. You can also feel free to add other things such as spinach, mushrooms, etc.
Heat up the skillet to medium heat and watch closely.
Flip entire pan mixture, once bottom side is cooked, like a pancake.
Cook the other side over medium heat until cooked equally.
Remove from heat and cut into pie pieces.
Serve with marinara to dip.

I know I'm not the only one noticing how much shorter our days are getting already. Daylight savings 2015 will end on November 1st. Clocks are moved back one hour from 2 a.m. DST to 1 a.m. For parents of early risers, the upcoming change can be nerve-racking. "He's already waking up at 5:30 a.m. Does this mean he's going to start waking up at 4:30 a.m. now?!" Thankfully the answer is no. You are going to gradually shift his schedule to the new time, just like when you are traveling.
So what will it look like? You have a few options. One is to allow your child to wake up at his natural time on the morning of the 2nd. According to the clock, it will be an hour earlier than usual. If he usually wakes up at 6:30 a.m., he will likely awaken at 5:30 a.m. That's fine. It will be short-lived! Try to keep things low key for 30 minutes until you are ready to start the day. Base the day's routines (meals, naps, etc.) around the new clock time. If your son's bedtime was 7:30 p.m., the clock will now read 6:30 p.m. Aim for good naps that day so he can make it to at least 7 p.m. (new time). You can gently push his bedtime back to 7:30 p.m. over the next few nights.
Alternatively, if going "cold turkey" doesn't appeal, you can also approach the time change incrementally, starting the week before. Push naps, meals and bedtime back 15 minutes later each of the days leading up to the end of daylight savings. For example, if his usual bedtime is 7:30 p.m., he can go to bed at 7:45 p.m. on October 29th, 8 p.m. on the 29th, 8:15 p.m. on the 30th, and 8:30 p.m., on the 31st. By the time daylight savings ends, he will already be adjusted – or at least well on his way.
Regardless of which approach you choose, stay consistent and try not to let him eat or really start his day before 6 a.m. (new time). He'll be adjusted within a week.
If your child had too late of a bedtime before the time change, this is your chance to move it earlier without too much fuss. The ideal bedtime for most children is between 7-8 p.m. So if your son's bedtime was too late, don't move it later; just put him to bed at the new time of 7 or 8 p.m.
Note: If your little guy seems plagued by early rising, it's time to get to the bottom of it. Follow this link to read my earlier post about the common causes of early rising and how to address them.
