Go Fish!

Spread cream cheese in the middle of a big plate and color it with blue food coloring, so it resembles a pond. Place pretzel sticks in the pond for logs. Use pieces of parsley around the edge for bushes. Sprinkle fish crackers around the edge of the pond.

Ladybug Lasagna

2 cups ricotta cheese

1 egg

1 box oven-ready lasagna noodles

One bag of spinach

1/2 pound mushrooms, sliced

1 pint cherry tomatoes

1 cup shredded mozzarella cheese

1 clove garlic, chopped

One jar of your favorite pasta sauce

One spoonful basil pesto (make your own or use pre-made)

2 tablespoons butter or olive oil

Sauté the spinach with chopped garlic. Remove spinach and sauté sliced mushrooms in the same pan with a little butter or oil. Mix the egg into the ricotta cheese. Put a thin layer of pasta sauce on the bottom of the pan. Add the first layer of noodles, and then spread a thin layer of ricotta, thin layer of pesto and layer of pasta sauce. Sprinkle over the cooked spinach and mushrooms. Add mozzarella cheese and the next layer of noodles. Keep building. On the very top, after all the layers are arranged, add a last layer of mozzarella cheese on a layer of noodles. Cut the cherry tomatoes in halves and place them facedown on top of the cheese. The tomatoes are the ladybugs.
