Who I was in High School

Thanks Andrea for the link up! 

Oh high school. Those awkward years from 7-12 grade. I mean my high school years were okay. I had some fun moments, some sad moments, and some interesting moments. To put things into perspective, I went to high school from 2000-2006. It absolutely stuns me that next year will be 10 years since I've graduated. TEN YEARS! How is that even possible?!

I went to a rural high school, there were probably 700 students from grades 7-12 total. We were the "country" school in our district. Does your high school let you drive your tractors to school the day before Prom? Mine does! (I wish I had pictures!)

Homecoming dance...can we talk about my makeup?!
To describe me in high school would be this. I was a shy, rule follower. I was not an avid participator. I was in Marching, Jazz, Concert, and Pep band from 7-10 grade. Yeah, I don't miss those hot, sticky band camp days. I was actually sick on "Senior Skip Day" and I honestly thought people were going to think that I was participating in that day! I was actually feeling guilty, and I was home sick! I was the type of student who almost always did the homework, and got along with my teachers. I never received a detention. Ever. I was voted "Most Honest" by my class. (Thanks class of 06!)  I had an average high school experience, and didn't think I would cry at graduation...but I broke down after we threw our caps.

So in full disclosure, I want to give you some awkward high school photos. Yay...not!

I discovered Bon Jovi, and went to my first concert of theirs in high school!

I LOVED my senor prom dress! I got it down in Myrtle Beach!!

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...

Vegetable Lasagna Recipe

I made this lasagna recipe, and I think my grandma declared it the best thing she's ever eaten. She kept going back to the dish, and cutting off a small slice. Each time she would say, "This is so good!" So, if only she liked it, my day was made. However, every member of my family loved this dish, and I know you will too! It is a perfect way to use up Summer vegetables, and enjoy a delicious meal! My comments are in italics!
