WIWW: Weekend Edition

I'm not normally a "theme" dresser, but I can certainly get behind wearing the red, white, and blue! I love sporting our county's colors! On the actual holiday, I wore red and blue as well, but I thought this outfit was much more appropriate to blog about! I think the purpose of these posts is to inspire what you have in your closet, not necessarily the exact pieces.

I considered this outfit a win! If I wanted to tweak it a little more, I could definitely pair this with red shorts, and some simple white canvas shoes. I also see this being worn to an Indians game since they utilize the same color scheme!

My shirt is just simply a navy blue and white horizontal stripe. (The only thing I wish, is that I would have gotten a picture of the back of the shirt. It has bow cutouts going down to about your bra line!)  My shorts I have had for ages and those came from JC Penney. I wish I could tell you where I bought my shoes, but I have no idea! My necklace was handmade by my cousin. Throw on a red lip, and I was ready to go!!

Can I get a high five for a full length outfit shot with shoes on?! I usually forget to wear my shoes when I am doing these outfit of the day posts!!

What did you wear for the holiday weekend? I'd love to see your pictures! Leave me a comment at me me know!!

I am linking up with The Pleated Poppy today!

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...
