About Me

I'm Mandii. I love to read blogs, but one of my favorite parts of reading other blogs is the "About Me" section. I always love to know the person behind the blog. I'm taking my inspiration in my "About Me" section from my local newspaper. I hope these questions will give you a sense of who I am. In short, my faith, family, and friends mean the world to me.

  • The star who would play me in the movie version of my life: Looks wise, Renee Zellweger. Personality wise, Reese Witherspoon. 

  • Favorite brunch food: I'm an egg girl, so I would say a sausage and egg quiche. I'm very much a lover of a hot breakfast.

  • Top thing on my bucket list: There are so many things...number 1 would be attend a Duke/UNC game in Cameron Indoor Stadium.

  • Three people I'd love to have dinner with: Kate Middleton, Coach K, and there are so many people vying for the number 3 spot!!

  • My favorite sandwich, plus fixings: Buffalo chicken on a tortilla with lettuce, tomato, and blue cheese crumbles. Top it off with a side of fries, and ranch dressing.

  • The first band I saw in concert: Bon Jovi. December 2005. I've been hooked ever since.

  • The best concert I've ever seen: Celtic Thunder put on a pretty incredible show, and Bon Jovi never disappoints. They rock out the whole time. You definitely get your money's worth.

  • My favorite "bad" movie: (meaning language and R rating) The Hangover. I didn't want to like it...but I do.

  • The last book I read: The Promise of an Angel by Ruth Reid. I love reading Amish books, blame it on me living close to them!

  • My most treasured fashion accessory: A gold cross my parents gave me. I am an open heart surgery survivor and they gave it to me very shortly after I had the surgery. I never take it off.

  • Saturday mornings you'll find me: On the couch watching the Pioneer Woman, with my mouth watering from all of the delicious food she makes.

  • People would be surprised to know that: My mind is full of useless information. Need a random factoid about something? I'm your girl.
I created this blog to share with you a few of my favorite things, sports, beauty, and life. In reading it, I hope you will learn something new, and gain a smile while reading this blog.  Nice to meet you!

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...

*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...
