Goals for the School Year

With this school year, there are a few things I'd like to do to keep myself productive, and streamlined. I think I read somewhere that it takes 21 days to form a habit, so I'm willing to commit to that. Here are a few things that I'd like to do to make this year more smooth!

I am so not a morning person, but I also don't want to take time after work to workout. So I'd love to start my mornings with a quick workout. (As much as I can do with my neck being the way it is!) If that means waking up a half hour earlier, and being done with it before I get my day started-I'm willing to give it a try! I'm willing to fire up the iPad and sleep in my workout gear if I have to!

I also would like to try taking some healthier snacks and lunches. I'm usually so good with it the beginning of the year, but by November I'm done. Especially after work, when it seems like I am ravenous! If I can pack an extra snack in my Yumbox to eat on the way home from work, then that is one less thing off of my to do list when I get home.

I will be the first to admit that I am a total homebody and get the Sunday scaries pretty easily. (They're real, y'all!) I'm of the type that if I'm out past 6 p.m. on a work night, than my entire world is going to crumble. I know. I'd love to change that! Anyone have any tips? It's totally a mental thing, I know.

I'm usually pretty good about picking out my outfits the night before, and packing my lunch as well. Most of these goals are honest to goodness mental. I just need to get in the right mindset and DO IT!

Please leave me your tips on how you make mornings and your day run smoother!

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 (we li

It's Been Awhile...

Hi! Do you remember me and this little blog? I've been thinking about starting this blog back up again, and I am just going to jump in with both feet and go for it! In the past what, 4 years since the last post, I have learned a lot, and have a lot to share! So if you'll bear with me, I'd love to share some fun tips and tricks and recipes with you here on this little space on the internet. I will give you a little reintroduction of myself. I'm Mandii. I'm a small town girl full of random information. Sports facts, check. Fashion tips, oh yeah, I've got those a plenty! Recipes? You're speaking my language. I love all things faith, family, fashion, sports, and food related. Which is exactly what you will find on this space. I love to travel even though I don't do it nearly enough.

New Schedule!

I think to start off, I am going to be blogging on Monday, Wednesday, and Friday's. I think that is a good schedule to start with that won't be overwhelming, and you readers won't get bored. So in my time off in the blog world, I worked at a clothing boutique and absolutely fell in love with it! I found that it is something that I am really passionate about. I have learned so many tips and tricks while working there that I can't wait to share with you! I mean we also have lived through a worldwide pandemic. Add that to the list of things you never thought you would type! Haha! I have continued to cook and bake, take short little trips here and there. I truly do lead a very boring life. Haha! If there are any topics you'd like me to cover, just let me know and I will try to see if I can cover them! Don't forget you can follow the Mandii's Muse Facebook page here ! You can also follow the blog's Instagram page too! Maybe one day I can go live and we ca
