New Year's Resolutions

Image
A new year means resolutions! I have some resolutions that I want to share with your for this year, but let's take a look back at last year and the resolutions I made. 

I break my resolutions down into categories, and will do the same for this year!

Environment:

Last Year: To buy items locally. 
How I Did: Honestly, I probably failed on this one. I purchased some items locally, but probably not enough to count. 

I plan to restart this resolution this year and make a conscious effort to buy locally, support small businesses, and independent business people. 

Health:

Last Year: Drop some pounds!
How I Did: I did really well until work started. Then work started and I got lazy, and put a few of those pounds back on. 

I would like to lose an additional 25 pounds this year and tone up. I am committing to eating clean 5 days a week, and 30 minutes of exercise at least 5 days a week. I know I can do this!

Beauty:

Last Year: Shorten my beauty routine.
How I Did: I mean, I did okay with this one. Especially more recently. I got lazy and left the house with only eyeliner, mascara, and lipstick on. You know what? I looked fine. No one stared at me like I was crazy. 

This year, I plan to use face masques more. I know they are good for your skin, so I need to carve time out and just get it done. 

Blogging:

Last Year: Consistent with blogging, and grow blog.
How I Did: FAILED! I seriously slacked on the blog front. I was majorly inconsistent with posting. Epic Fail. 

This year I am going to be consistent with blogging, and to update my Facebook Fan Page and Pinterest page more often. 

I have one more resolution to add to this list! I've committed to reading the Bible this year. I haven't read it the whole way through before. I've just chosen chapters to read. I have a printable from Charles Stanley that I am using, and so far, I LOVE it! 

I will see you in 2017 to see how I did with these resolutions!

What are your resolutions for this upcoming year? Leave me a comment and tell me about them!

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!
