The object of my affection

There's no one is this world I 

love more than my P. 

These are two pictures from when P and I were dating.

This is from when P took me to PA to meet his family.

This is the day P asked me to marry him at Peddler's Village.

This is on our honeymoon in Mexico.

Fun pictures, we've been married for almost a year now. I can't imagine being

with anyone more perfect and wonderful. I love you P.

Homemade Spaghetti Sauce

I came across this Spaghetti Sauce recipe a little

while ago and it's been my staple ever since.

The recipe is originally for lasagna but I have used 

this sauce for everything, from actual spaghetti to chicken Parmesan.

One of the things I like the most about it, (besides the homemade goodness!) is it's 

a really thick sauce. Not runny like some of the store brand sauces.

1pd. sweet Italian sausage

1 pd ground beef

1/2 cup chopped onion

2 cloves garlic

On med. heat, brown ground beef, sausage, onion and garlic in a pot for about 6-7 mins or until

no longer pink. Remove from heat. Add:

1 (28oz) can of crushed tomatoes

2 (8oz) cans of tomato sauce

2 (6oz) cans of tomato paste

1/2 cup of water

Gently stir into the cooked meat, add:

2 TB sugar

2 ts basil leaves chopped (I use dry leaves)

2 TB fresh Italian parsley chopped

1 ts salt

1 ts Italian seasoning

1/2 ts ground pepper

Gently stir into sauce. Cover the pot and let the sauce simmer on low heat for 1 hour 

and thirty minutes.
