spaghetti and pi day

weird combo

but monday is pi day...3.14159 = the mathematical pi, so i'm going to make taco pie for dinner...hey...gotta do something related, right? Mom's making my stressed out mathy sister peanut butter pie...she's in her second semester of college and its ALMOST spring break = STRESSED!!!! go sister(s)! you guys can make it to spring break!!! (i have two sisters in college, E and K. E is the stressed out mathy one, K is the nursing one) So make sure to come back for taco pie recipe :) (its my moms)

but back to last night aka spaghetti. i used a normal stockpot and somehow fit 2 lbs of spaghetti noodles in it...yes...it was tight...no...i didn't break any noodles...yes, it boiled over once, and i had to keep adding water, but it worked. they had to cook a lil longer, but it was alright. TJ and S and their dad T were playing the game wizard. Its a fun game. I was making food, and C was eating cuz he was hungry. Then TJ, C, and T headed off to Dave Ramsey's Financial Peace University while i stayed home with S. their mom came home later, ate something else (gluten/wheat free food!) and then headed off to FPU also.

Good night...but i'm ready to sleep in my own bed...

easy dinner night

We are getting a snowpocalypse headed our way here in michigan, with 12-18 inches of snow expected. So i decided on an easy dinner that you could have plenty of leftovers with, not necessarily need to be eaten warm (altho, it is best).

So tonight, we are eating spaghetti and sauce, with mashed potatoes from a box :D

Very easy, you boil noodles for 10-11 minutes, heat up sauce on the stove, and mix the mashed potatoes according to the package :)

dinner was ready in about 15 minutes...so very easy :D

thankfully, we have a gas stove, so even if we lose power, i can still heat food up, just a bit differently. But if we do lose power, i was told we are going to TJ and C's grandparents house, cuz they have a generator. :D i don't mind :) i like to be warm, so i won't complain
