The house is still a mess... but it is not as bad. We are slowly getting back into the swing of things and the bathroom is looking better! Monday night I primed the ceiling and walls of the bathroom. I also gained about a million percent more respect for my mamma. Please tell me how that woman was able to paint a mural on her bathroom ceiling Michelangelo style?! I was barely able to prime the ceiling without feeling like I was about to drop a gallon of paint on my head. It didn't help that I was balancing on the sides of the bathtub! Tonight I will paint the ceiling and hopefully tomorrow will be the walls, we might just have this done by the weekend!!
Sunday night Mister made spaghetti, we were both in the pasta mood. Once I finished priming I decided to make baked spaghetti pie with the left overs. I picked up a really pretty pie pan from crate and barrel at an after Christmas sale and had used to use it, granted this wasn't real pie but it sure was yummy! A few years ago my parents got me " Deceptively Delicious"
It is written by Jerry Seinfeld's wife, and is all about hiding vegetables in everyday cooking. It is an awesome cookbook and I really recommend it. She puree's cauliflower and hides it in the baked spaghetti and you cannot even tell! I didn't have any cauliflower on hand so I just put the leftovers in a bowl, added some more sauce and a bit of mozzarella, mixed it all up and into the pie pan it went. I cooked it at 350 degree for about 35 minutes and it was yummy!! It really is a great way to change up left overs.
Other than that I am just counting down the days until my mom gets here!! We picked up a bed for the guest room over the weekend so we will be putting that together this weekend, cleaning and organizing and getting everything all ready for her arrival next Friday!!

Hi Chelsei,
ReplyDeleteYour mom is sure lucky to have you being so considerate about having everything ready for her visit. Expecting company is a good motivator for getting things accomplished too.
You and your mom are very hard worker's and always make the world a nicer place. Don't wear yourself's out, save some energy for the visit and the cruise.
What colour did you decide on ,whatever it was I am sure it looks great.
Drink H2o and keep healthy.
Love you, Grammi
Sounds like you've really got your hands full! That baked spaghetti looks delicious! Where did you find those amazing bread sticks?
ReplyDeleteAh, there's nothing like having company to motivate the domestic diva in us!
Love you lots,
Auntie T.
