Semi-Home made Spaghetti and Garlic Bread!! I have made this spaghetti recipe for 32 years now, I hope you will try it, is the best I have ever eaten.

You will need:

1 Jar Ragu, your choice of flavor

1 large can petite diced tomatoes

2 cans Tomato sauce

1 small can Tomato paste

1 Package dry Spaghetti mix

Put all ingredients in large pot






1 large onion diced

1 green bell pepper diced

garlic to your taste....

I sometimes add mushrooms




add onion, bell pepper and garlic., to hamburger meat, cook on medium until meat is done.

I add 2 bay leafs to my sauce pot. When meat mixture is done add to sauce pot also.



Stir meat into mixture.

Cover and simmer for about an hour... be sure to stir from time to time so sauce doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot.

Just before you are ready to serve, take your bread, butter it well, sprinkle with garlic powder...

Put bread in the oven on broil, watch close as not to burn...

Spaghetti and Garlic Bread, ENJOY!! Oh so good...

METAMORPHOSIS MONDAY

Hello and Welcome! It is Monday and time for Metamorphosis Monday at Between Naps On The Porch.

The kitchen was on the list to redo this year, and then I got sick again. So we are moving slow. This is the best picture I could find to show the small changes I have made so far. I was in such a hurry to get the old chairs out of the kitchen that I didn't take a picture first. I redid this kitchen right after Hurricane Hugo 20 years ago.


You can see in the next picture, the new chairs and the new art work on the wall. I will redo more as I pay down all my medical bills. I may blog about my illness , just not sure if I want to start a new blog for that or, blog about it here.



Thank you for stopping by. I will show more as I get it done.

WHAT A WEEKEND!!

Welcome to this weeks Thrifty Find!! Click above and go visit Rhoda's from Southern Hospitality's weekly Thrifty Treasures party!!! Join in on the fun or just look through at every ones awesome finds for the week.

OH what a weekend I had, Friday my daughter and I went to an Estate sale!!

Found these beautiful Spode plates. Eight for $ 50.00. A little more than I like to spend, But they where calling my name.

Then Saturday I went to a yard sale and found these depression glasses, pattern called block. I have been trying to find them at a good price, boy did I. I found 27 of them, but wait it gets better...

She also was selling 12 of the blue ones!!!!!! I got them all for....are you ready..... $ 20.00.

Can you see me doing my little happy dance, because I have been all weekend... Now if it could get better......OH YEA!!!!!

I went to one more Estate sale and can you believe my luck (: more dancing :) There before my eyes .......16 tall green block glasses, 8 medium, and 12 small. Oh what a week end. I paid $ 25.00 for them all.



I have 6 tall amber ones that I bought some time back at GW for $4.oo. So just for fun I went to my favorite antique store, just to find out what a good weekend I really have had.

Can you see the price? That's right 8 for $88.oo. So I looked around and found that the tall ones go for about $11.00, each the medium $7.50, and the small for $4.50. So I did the math $719.00 had I bought them at my favorite antique store. Now lets subtract the $45.00 that I spent for them and I saved $674.00. I know you can see me dancing now!!

(: And maybe singing:) Until next week happy shopping.
