Favorite Stocking Stuffers

I'm back! I've missed you readers! I will fill you in on my absence later in the week, but tomorrow is the first day of December! What?! I am sure this month will absolutely fly by. Today, I'm linking up with Andrea to share with you some of my favorite stocking stuffers.

A lot of my stocking growing up were mainly filled with some essentials. Even now, my stocking is filled with little goodies, but there is always an orange at the bottom. Here are a few items that I've put in the stockings I've filled, and also I've received in my stockings.

I love getting little beauty items in my stocking. Lipstick or lip balm, nail polish, headbands, perfume, and mini lotions are great!

I think essential items are also useful. There is always those tiny things that you use every day that you forget to replace. Toothbrush heads, or a toothbrush, Tide to go pens, socks (you know you have holes in your socks!), and accessories for your phone.

If you wanted to fill your stocking with some things for your home, you can always get scented wax melts, a CD, or small appetizer tongs.

These are just a few items that I have been known to give and receive!

What do you put in your stocking? I'd love to interact with you! 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

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...
