What's Up Wednesday

Today I am linking up with Shay to say "What's Up" on this Wednesday. I think linkups are a great way to get to know the writer behind the blog. Plus, in my case since I've been slacking a little on the blog front, it gives you a chance to get to know me better!
What I'm Eating This Week:

My parents made spaghetti sauce, so I am going to be eating some spaghetti! I have been hungry for tacos, so I'm putting that on the menu as well! The cooler weather is here, so I am thinking that one night is a good soup and sandwich night! 

What I'm Reminiscing About:

I have got the travel bug, so I have been thinking about my trips to New York City recently. I'm definitely a country girl at heart, but I do love to spend a weekend in the Big Apple sightseeing.
What I'm Loving:

Right now, I am loving Fall. I love the cozy clothes, the warm drinks, the leaves changing, and the upcoming holiday's approaching. 

What I've Been Up To:

The most boring answer ever? Working! 

What I'm Dreading:

I am dreading doing the Summer/Fall clothes switch out. I haven't done it yet, but I dread doing it every season. 

What I'm Working On:

Can I say trying to get this blog back on track? I am also trying to get some Christmas presents ordered, and getting back on track with my fitness routine!

What I'm Excited About:

I am excited about decorating for Christmas. I have a few ideas that I want to try this year and I can't wait to start decorating and cooking for Christmas!

What I'm Watching/Reading:

I have been loving that my Chicago Fire and Chicago P.D. shows are back on. They are drama filled, and it takes me a good 10 minutes after the show is over to calm down. I have been slacking on some of my shows because I have fallen asleep before they come on. Oops! I have also been reading the Beaches and Brides collection of stories. They are faith based, and just really sweet stories. I have 2 more that I bought from the collection that I want to read as well!

What I'm Listening To:

We had our first choir practice after church on Sunday, so I am listening to the CD so I can learn the songs. Which in turn makes me want to start decorating for Christmas.

What I'm Wearing:

Considering I haven't done the Summer to Fall clothes switch, I have been mixing and matching items in my closet to give me warmth without looking 'Summery."

What I'm Doing This Weekend:

I have plans to go to Ohio's Amish country! I am also playing in church on Sunday!

What I'm Looking Forward To Next Month:

Thanksgiving is definitely on that list! My dad's birthday is also the 27th, so I will be celebrating with my family as well!

What Else Is New:

The pecan pie is for my uncle and I...we don't like pumpkin pie!
Not much! :)

What Is My Favorite Thanksgiving Recipe:

Oh my goodness! How do I choose just one? I love everything! You will have to come back to the blog closer to Thanksgiving to see some of my favorites!

What are you up to this Wednesday? Leave me a comment and let me know! I can't wait to hear from you!

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...

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...
