Last night we brought dinner to a family from church who's wife had just had surgery and could not cook, and then we had another family from church over for dinner and I made this and it was a big hit with everyone!

I'm taking a pan over to my sisters tonight. It's a new "tradition"for me to bring dinner over one night a week and it helps her out too after a long day at work. The kids enjoy getting together and there are rarely leftovers! The weather here has turned quite brisk with winds about 40mph so it's chilly! The warm ziti with some bread will be mighty good!

I bought Costco's yummy salad in a bag--the Parisian, with goat cheese, dried cranberries, candied walnuts, etc. And for dessert--a 5 layer all American Chocolate cake from the Costco bakery.
