What's On My Nightstand?

Today I am linking up with Andrea for her "What's On..." series. Cool fact about Andrea, she is a middle school math teacher. Bless her. I think this link up is such a cute idea! I'm one of those people who drive past houses, and if their curtains are open I look inside! (Please tell me you do that too, and I'm not some weirdo!) So today, it is "What's On My Nightstand?"

My nightstand is actually a pretty decent size. It is a 3 drawer nightstand, that matches my bedroom suite.

On my nightstand I have Reshaping It All by Candace Cameron Bure. This is what I am currently reading, and I am really loving it so far. (Look for a book review when I finish!)

Next, I have my alarm clock that I got years ago. I can't even tell you how old that thing is! I have a cordless phone and the dock. My room can get dark so I have a lamp that I can turn on when I don't want to have my big light on. I have a basket with lip balms, lotions, and some Kleenex. Lastly, I have a bottle of water. I swear, sometimes I get so thirsty at night!

That's my nightstand everyone! It isn't that exciting, but it is all necessities!

What's on your nightstand? I'd love to see, and read about it! Leave me a comment and let me know! Don't forget to link up with Andrea if you do!

P.S. Happy Cinco de Mayo! Check back tomorrow to see how I celebrated!

Cooking for a Crowd: Spaghetti Sauce

My family likes to save money when we have parties. One way to do so is to cook everything ourselves, instead of hiring a caterer. Today, I wanted to give you a recipe for spaghetti sauce that will feed a crowd. This recipe is best made in an 18 quart roast pan. We bought most of our sauces and tomato paste at Costco. Ingredients: 2 onions 3 cans diced tomatoes 2 #10 cans of tomato sauce 1 #10 can on spaghetti sauce 1 heaping tsp of garlic minced 2 (28 oz) cans of crushed tomatoes 4 (6 oz) cans of tomato paste 1 tsp sugar Onion and garlic salt, italian seasoning, parsley, oregano to taste 1 pound of each: ground meat, hot and sweet sausage Look at the deliciousness! In a skillet brown your meat and sausage in a little oil. Once browned place off to the side. Combine your onions, garlic, diced tomatoes, and crushed tomatoes. *Sweat your onions down first, then add the garlic. Then your tomatoes.* Open your tomato sauces and spaghetti sauces (w...

High Five for Friday

Friday is here again! It is always a wonderful way to bring in the weekend. Here is what I loved this week. 1. I made another visit to Freedom Farms. I bought some apples, and bread. 2. I absolutely loved my Birchbox and Ipsy bags this month! The Ipsy review is coming tomorrow! 3. I am subbing today and I got to wear my jeans to school. I love days like that. 4. I just want it to be Christmas, because I have some amazing posts for you already planned out! 5. I discovered that McDonald's iced coffee with caramel is AMAZING! Thanks, Lauren for the link up! What about you? How was your week? Leave me a comment , I'd love to hear from you!

Christmas/New Year's Recap

First, I just want to say that I have absolutely no pictures from Christmas. I'm terrible, I know. In my defense, I was sick all through Christmas and just wasn't feeling "it." I do however, have pictures of some of the gifts I received and New Year's. Christmas Eve dinner was hosted by my parents and I. We had lasagna, wedding soup, salad, bread, and Italian butter. I made a homemade alfredo sauce to go along with the lasagna. I also made the Italian butter, and attempted to make my homemade French bread. This year, the bread did not turn out. For dessert, I made white chocolate raspberry shooters. They were SO good! I will do a recipe on those when I make them again! After everything was cleaned up, we honestly just relaxed. I would have liked to have gone to Christmas Eve service at our church, but I was coughing, clearing my throat every 5 minutes, and blowing my nose every 10. I was a hot mess. My grandparents came back out to our house after church and w...
