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 (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. 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&

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
