WIWW: My Go-To Outfit

Um, it has been MONTHS since I have done a WIWW post! I wanted to share with you my go to outfit. I usually pick out my outfits for the week on Saturday and have them all steamed and hanging ready to be worn. It helps tremendously, and saves so much time in the mornings.

There was a time last week where I did not want to wear one of the outfits I picked out. On that particular day, I didn't feel like getting super dressy for work, and I wanted to be comfortable. So I picked out my go to outfit.

Mandii Fun Fact: I normally detest mixing black and browns together. However, this outfit negates that.

A leopard scarf is always classy, and I jump at any opportunity to wear leopard. It's a neutral. I paired this scarf with dressy skinny black pants. I had a white tank underneath my chambray/jean top that I got at Wal-Mart for $3.00! I wore my Mark Fisher boots that I got from the QVC Outlet a few years ago.

I kept my jewelry simple with my Isaac Mizrahi leather band watch, Origami Owl rose gold CORE bracelet, and Bronzo Italia hoops.

I was put together and comfortable, and I got to keep my original outfit for another day!

Do you have a go to outfit? Leave me a comment and tell me what it is!

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...
