What’s Up Wednesday

I meant to post this last week, but never did! So you are getting to see it today! This is just a little "what's up" on this Wednesday!

1. What I’m Eating this Week:

I am thinking some soup, pasta, and baked chicken with a baked potato!

2. What I’m Reminiscing About:

It has to be my recent experience at the Duke game, and all my trips to North Carolina to Cameron Indoor. I absolutely love basketball season!

3. What I’m Loving:

I’m loving all the cozy winter wear I get to wear! Now, it doesn’t have to be below freezing, but I’m enjoying the sweaters, cozy robe, and warm fuzzy pajamas I get to wear.

4. What I’ve Been Up To:

Not much! Just working, doing the usual grocery shopping/Costco runs, family time I get to have!

5. What I’m Dreading:

I think I say this every single time, but I dread the Winter to Summer clothes switch over! It is such a chore that I dread every season.

6. What I’m Working On:

I’m working on upcoming blog posts for you! I’m also trying to work on getting up early to workout in the mornings. It’s been a struggle.

7. What I’m Excited About:

I am excited about the weather turning nicer and me finally being confident in driving my car!

8. What I’m Watching/Reading:

I’ve been watching a lot of Duke Basketball and a lot of Smithsonian channel. I took a break from reading Karen Kingsbury’s Take Four during the Christmas season, but I’m ready to start that back up again!

9.What I’m Listening To:

I just found the Duke Basketball podcast, and the Royally Obsessed podcast, so I’ve been having fun listening to those! Sometimes I’ll even have my daily Bible readings read to me too!

10. What I’m Wearing:

Right now I’m wearing jeans, my new favorite tank top (more on that later!), and a LuLaRoe Sarah cardigan.

11. What I’m Doing this Weekend?:

I will most likely be watching basketball, and the new Hallmark movie.

12. What I’m Looking Forward to Next Month:

Next month, I have a Carpenter’s tribute concert on Valentine’s Day! I love their music, and my mom, aunt, and myself got tickets to see a tribute show at a local theater.

13. What Else is New?:

Not much! What are some things you’d like to see on the blog? Leave me a comment to 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...

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. I don't know if I am going to commit to a full 5 days on here yet. I'll play it by ear, and if you'll stick with me, I think we can do some great things here! I...

YouTube-a-palooza

*Warning: this will be a long post, and picture heavy!* :) Strictly based on the title alone I should have caught your attention! Sunday was the Alex Goot concert. It was at bar in Pittsburgh, and there were about 5 acts to the show! You definitely got your money's worth! I went with my cousin, Allie (you can find her blog here! ) and it was just a fun girls night! The show was in a bar which used to be an old church, so it was very pretty inside. We got there around 6, parked, and only had to stand in line for 10 minutes before we got to go inside. When we went in, we got our tickets scanned and BAM , there was Landon Austin and Luke Conard at their merchandise table. So, because I somehow gained oodles of confidence*, Allie and I went over and I said "Hi Landon!" He said "hi" back and asked me my name. I had a card for him so I handed it to him and he asked if he should open it now or later. I said that it was up to him. We moved on to Luke Conar...
