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!

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.

Vegetable Lasagna Recipe

I made this lasagna recipe, and I think my grandma declared it the best thing she's ever eaten. She kept going back to the dish, and cutting off a small slice. Each time she would say, "This is so good!" So, if only she liked it, my day was made. However, every member of my family loved this dish, and I know you will too!
