Make Ahead Spinach Manicotti

1 carton (15oz) ricotta cheese
1 package (10oz) frozen chopped spinach, thawed & squeezed dry
1 1/2 C shredded mozzarella, divided
3/4 C parmesan cheese, divided
1 egg
2 tsp minced fresh parsley
1/2 tsp onion powder
1/2 tsp pepper
1/8 tsp garlic powder
2 jars (28oz each) spaghetti sauce
1 1/2 C water
1 package (8oz) manicotti shells

In large bowl, combine ricotta, spinach, 1 cup mozzarella, 1/4 cup parmesan, egg, parsley, onion powder, pepper, and garlic powder. Combine the spaghetti sauce and water; spread 1 cup sauce in an ungreased 9x13 baking dish. Stuff uncooked manicotti with spinach mixture, arrange over sauce. Pour remaining sauce over manicotti. Sprinkle with remaining mozza and parmesan. Cover and refrigerate overnight. Remove from fridge 30 minutes before baking. Bake uncovered, at 350 F for 40 to 50 minutes. 6 to 8 servings

Caulifower Soup

2 10oz cans chicken broth or vegetable broth
2 8-ounce packages frozen cauliflower
1 medium stalk celery cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 medium carrot cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1 small onion cut into eighths
1/2 teaspoon thyme
salt and pepper to taste
1 cup milk
1 1/2 cups low fat cheddar cheese shredded

Place all ingredients, except milk and cheese, in a crock-pot
and cook on low until vegetables are very tender, about 4-6 hours.

Carefully pour mixture into work bowl of food processor fitting
with steel blade or into blender container. Cover and process
until smooth. Or, use a potato masher directly in the crock-pot.

Pour cauliflower mixture into a saucepan; stir in milk and
cheese. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until cheese
is melted and mixture is hot (do not boil, or it will break).

Notes - You can do this on the stove as well as in the crock. This is so good!
