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...

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...
