Life Lately

Last week was my first full week out of school. Hence the not being prepared with blog posts dilemma. Today, I figured I would let you in on what I've been doing, and what I have planned so far!

This past week I have been going to the produce/flower auctions. As you can tell by the picture, there was a car load. I had a pizza box and a flat of lantana on my lap. At my feet was a cooler that we keep in the car for grocery runs, and my purse. Can you say crowded?! Can I also say that I am a person who needs lipstick. That picture of me with no lipstick on, makes my face look so stinking pale!

I am so hungry for a hamburger lately!
Also, I have been working out pretty early in the mornings, so sleeping in has been pretty nonexistent. Honestly though, I am okay with that. I kind of like getting up and being productive in the mornings. A task that I have been completing and hating every minute of is changing my clothes from winter to summer. First of all, I have so many clothes and a limited amount of closet and drawer space. I always tell myself "Mandii, marry a man who can give you ample closet space." Haha!

This next weekend is going to be pretty busy with a lot of fun things planned. Friday, I have a graduation party to go to. Saturday, my parents and I are going to an Indians game. I am so excited! I will be posting a lot of pictures on Instagram. Then I will post a recap of the weekend on here. There is definitely a significance to this game we are going to, and I can't wait to share it with you!

As I am currently writing this, it is storming, so I am going to wrap this one up! Thanks for reading, and sticking with me through the lulls of no blogs! You readers are the best!

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.

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...
