Things are crazy busy here! School is around the corner…so I am working 24-7 getting my department ready for the first day of school. Football is also HUGE right now. Punky has practice 4 days a week for 2 hours each day. He really likes it, but my gosh, it is hard core! Almost seems like a mini-boot camp! But, he is loving it! The smile on his face and sparkle in his eye at the end of practice each night is so worth it!
The kitchen is coming along…. Should be done later this week. I promise to post pics! 🙂 Our AC went out last week, so my counter-depth fridge purchase is on the back burner for now…. but I still like how the fridge looks in its new home.
Tonight, on the menu plan was spaghetti. I have to say that since I started making this sauce, my boys do not want sauce from a jar. So, I thought I’d share the recipe! I got the base of this from allrecipes.com, and I tweaked it a bit for our taste.
Enjoy! Super easy, super yummy, and cheaper than the jar! I always make this size (it’s doubled from original recipe) as my boys LOVE sauce on their pasta! 
Yummy Spaghetti!
