2 eggs, separated
1 pack of spinach
1/8 tsp nutmeg
2 tbsp olive oil
6 slices of mozzarella (any would do as long it is not yet grated)
1 bottle of arrabiatta sauce (actually this sauce a roman sauce mixed with garlic, tomatoes and herbs. i took the spicy one by mistake but it was ok! my boyfriend likes it spicy and hote! hahaha! if you're not a fan of hot and spicy sauces you can use the regular arribiatta sauce or marinara sauce)

4. Add the eggs. Then your oil.
5. Water is optional if you think its really sticky and the texture is thick that you can't mix easily you can add the water.
5. Don't forget to grease you baking pan and put a baking sheet or if you don't have one, bond paper is ok.
6. bake for 45 minutes and you're DONE!

Bon Appetit!

happy father's day my love...

Dear A,

Though we may not shower him with praise
Nor mention his name in song,
Though sometimes it seems that we forget
The joy he spreads as he goes along,

It doesn't mean that we don't know
The wonderful role that he has had.
And away down deep in every heart
There's a place that is just for Dads.....


i know you've done so much for your daughter.
i promise to do anything for you and your daughter.
i promise not to do anything that would harm her!
i love you~happy father's day my love!

love,
Z
