Pasta with Tomato Cream Sauce

So I decided to open up my Pioneer Woman cookbook last night and try something new. So i decided to pick the Pasta with Tomato Cream Sauce. Boy was that a good decision to choose!!!!! It was addictingly good. I know thats not a word but I just made it one. I halved the recipe since it was just me eating it. I should have only done 1/4 of the recipe because I have soooo much leftovers it is not even funny. Well it is a good thing I have all of these leftovers because me oh my was this soooo good. What I loved most was the taste and what I loved the 2nd most was there there were not many ingredients. That was the awesome part. Oh and it took me t-10 minutes to make.

So here is the link to make this awesome yummy addictingly good pasta sauce!!!!!

Easter Pictures are Coming!!!!

So I used my mom's awesome camera to document all the fun things we did this Easter so you will have to wait for the pictures until she sends them to me or until I go back down there in about 2 weeks. I am thinking the 2 week mark is what it will be. We did so much this Easter weekend. I even ended up making Easter baskets for my mom and dad. They were quite surprised since they have not had an Easter basket in years. Church was amazing this year. My pastor preached on the topic One Month to Live. It was an amazing sermon. I love how he brings the word of God and makes it so clear and relevant to the present day lives we live. Well I hope to share more of my Easter with you very soon!!!

Pet Raccoon!!!

So my mom and I were casually driving down a fairly busy road just talking away. I would say we were going about 30 MPH. Then all of a sudden I look over and I swear I saw a raccoon hanging out of a car window. My mom didnt look quick enough to see. She was like ummmm you are crazy. I was dead serious though. So the car got quite a bit ahead of us and i was sooo determined to catch back up with that car to prove to my mom. Sure enough we caught up to it. I told my mom we had to attempt to take a picture. Well just our luck there were no red lights coming at all. So we had to use my high tech iphone and try to take a moving picture in the dark about 10 feet away. I say impossible. Well my mom sure did get a picture and you can totally see the raccoon straddling the door of the car. It was soooo crazy.

What a beauty!!!

Here is a close up of this cute guy!!! I wonder how he carries his heavy feathers around without having crazy back problems?!?!?!?

Peacock!!!!

So this lovely guy lives in my neighborhood. He is the most annoying thing at night but when you get to see him in the day boy is he a beauty!!!! Peacocks are the prettier ones. Peahens (the females) only have white and brown. Crazy that the male got all the good looks in this species.

For my wedding (whenever that will be. Need a significant other first lol) I want to have a peacock color palette. There are so many beautiful colors that are apart of the peacocks feathers.

Fun colorful sugar cookies!!!

Preheat oven to 350°F. Divide dough evenly into five bowls, and color each with a different color liquid food coloring. Roll each color of dough into grape-sized balls. Combine a ball of each color and quickly roll into a larger ball. It will look like a little beach ball. Then roll that ball between your hands and the counter until you have a cylinder about 12 inches long. Starting from one end, roll the dough into a coil, twisting the cylinder as you go. Roll edges of the cookie in sprinkles. Bake the cookies for 10 to 11 minutes, or until done.

Quick workout

I found this on Pinterest and did it about 2 weeks ago. It is a good workout when you feel like you don't have a lot of time to spare during a busy day. You will get your heart rate raised and feel the burn still. Do it more than 3 times for a longer workout.

Discipline

I struggle with self discipline. Some may call it being lazy. I will have to agree with that one. If you wait for things to get done on your own they probably will not happen. You gotta go out and do it. Some wise woman in my life told me that (my mother). She is going to love reading that last sentence. Anyways be disciplined in what you do. It could change your life and who knows it could change someone else's life around you.
