What I've Been Up To



Oh, hey! Can I be honest for a minute? I've kinda of lacked inspiration on this blog. I initially started to do beauty reviews, but I mostly use the same products from day to day. Plus, there are SO MANY beauty blogs out there that rehash the same things. So I hope to turn this more into a lifestyle blog and throw a mix of everything in it! I hope to gain some inspiration and get this blog on track and consistent. So, bear with me until that happens. To those of you who have stuck with me, thank you!

Anyway, let's talk about what I've been up to lately. I have been subbing almost every day, so nights are spent getting ready for the next day, and weekends are prepped for the upcoming week. Quite the exciting life I lead right?! Although being a homebody at heart it is nice to just stay home.

I have been cooking a lot recently, so I made Andrea's Faux Quiche in muffin tins so I can grab a quick breakfast in the morning. #notamorningperson. I added sausage, potatoes and scallions to this batch. They turned out pretty good, and I'm anxious to try a savory version for dinner one night.








My church was having a dinner after service to fellowship with some missionaries who spoke on Sunday. The Pastor made meatballs to turn into meatball sandwiches, and I decided to make a pasta salad as a side dish. There was a lot of good food!





I've also been busy doing my taxes. Listen, I think my blood pressure was raised 15 points during that process. I have everything all filled out, and I am just waiting on a 1099 form to plug in and send it off. The form won't make a difference anyway, but I don't want to send it in without the form. Does that make sense? Basically, I just want to see if I am getting anymore money back. LOL!

So this has been my life lately! What have you been up to? I'd love to know! 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...

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...
