Something New for me

Ok, So I am going to try my hand at this blogging thing. I have been dabbling at combining or adapting recipes lately. I have found that there are certain things I want in a recipe, but tend to not find in one recipe. I will give credit to those people I take from especially if I have not changed it. The first recipe is for Spaghetti Bake. I am sorry, I didn't take pictures of it last night. I will post the recipe in a separate posting.
