New Year’s Resolutions

I think for the past few years I have done really well on my resolutions, and some I have completely failed at. This year, I really want to keep up with my resolutions, but not because I have to, but because I want to improve who I am and make it a lifestyle.

My first resolution is to lose weight. I did really well a few years ago, but then I got lazy. My family's love language is food, and we are all really good cooks. This one I know will be extremely difficult for me. I'd really like to make the change to get up a half hour earlier, and workout before work. I know that when I get home, I'm not wanting to workout so getting it out of the way in the morning is going to be the best way. I also know that I am going to have to watch what I'm eating, and limit my portions. (Insert sad face here. Haha!)

Another resolution I have is to read the Bible in one year. I also want to be able to spend more time with Jesus daily.  I have some devotions set up, and our monthly faith group will begin meeting again so that will only help me grow deeper as well.


On the blog front, I'd love to continue to grow this blog! I have slacked majorly on this in previous years, but with me blogging only 3 days a week I haven't gotten burnt out like I have in years past.

I'd love to know what your resolutions are! 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

Friday is here again! It is always a wonderful way to bring in the weekend. Here is what I loved this week. 1. I made another visit to Freedom Farms. I bought some apples, and bread. 2.

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...
