1-1/2 cups    shredded mozzarella cheese (6 ounces)

1 Cook meat in a large skillet over medium-high heat until no pink color is left in meat, stirring occasionally with a wooden spoon and breaking up the meat. Remove skillet from heat. Place colander over bowl. Spoon meat into colander and let fat drain into bowl. Return meat to skillet. Put fat in a container to throw away.

Sprinkle 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese over cottage cheese. Add another layer of 2 uncooked noodles, one-third of the meat mixture, the rest of the cottage cheese, and 1/2 cup of the mozzarella cheese. Layer remaining uncooked noodles, meat mixture, and mozzarella cheese. Finally, sprinkle Parmesan cheese over top, if you like.

High on a hill overlooking south Lake Leelanau in northwest Michigan is Grand View Inn, a bed and breakfast owned by Ron and Sherry Hatt. If the eastern view of the lake isn't enough, there are always breathtaking sunrises and sunsets. And don't forget nearby Sugar Loaf Mountain where skiers can be seen all winter long.

"I love to use Michigan fruits and vegetables in all my recipes," she says. "It gives out-of-state travelers a chance to enjoy not only the beauty of northern Michigan but also the great taste. The dried tart cherries in my Breakfast Cherry Bake provide a delicious burst of flavor."
