Friday Favorites

The weekend is near! Since it is Friday, I'm linking up with Andrea to share with you some of my favorites for the week!

1. After today, there are 0 school days left!! That's it! Finito! Even as a substitute teacher, this is the happy time!! I'll miss the kids and staff, but I won't miss getting up early, wearing makeup every day, etc. Plus, I can get back on track with my workouts, and set a new summer routine and sleep in just a tad. :)

2. I have been borderline obsessed with iced coffee lately. I blame Dunkin Donuts. First, they are right by the school I substitute at. Second, they have Happy Hour from 2-6 every day where you can get an iced coffee or iced tea for $.99. At one point a week or two ago, I had gone three times and I didn't even realize it!  Plus, I got these Maxwell House coffee concentrate in caramel and vanilla to make iced coffee at home. Someone stage an intervention for me, please!

3. I went to my first Amish produce/flower auction of the season. Mom and I bought some rhubarb and 4 hanging baskets. We will definitely be going back because we need a lot more flowers, and we need to get my Grandma some too. These auctions are one thing I love about living in the country. P.S. The big Amish benefit auction is coming up really soon! I'm going to blog about it like I have in years past, the draft is already started!

 4. Because I haven't said it already, (alright, I have.) School is out!!!

Be on the look out for new posts coming your way soon! I have free time now to focus on this blog! Yay, Summer break!!

How has your week been? Leave me a comment and let me know!

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

I've done it again. #badblogger I can't wait until school is out and I have free time to write, photograph, and post my blogs! As usual, I am linking up with Lauren ! Here are my thoughts about the week! 1. It's Friday, and for that I am very grateful! 2. I am getting my hair cut tomorrow! I'm keeping my length, but I might add a few extra layers to give me more volume! I can't wait! My hair has been especially knotty when I get out of the shower. 3. I ordered new contacts and glasses from Wal-Mart Vision Center. I've had really good luck with them! 4. Did any of you catch the premier of The Night Shift on Tuesday? I think this will be a good replacement for me until Chicago Fire comes back on! 5. I am very much looking forward to sleeping in! What did you love about the week? Leave me a comment and let me know! I'd love to hear from you!
