My Favorite Pasta Sauce Recipe

by Karen Mendes | Italian Recipes, Product Review, Recipes | 3 Comments

I'm Italian and VERY picky when it comes to the sauce so I want to share my pasta sauce recipe with you (or gravy as my family calls it!). I won't eat pasta at certain restaurants because I don't care for their pasta sauce. I want a nice tomato flavor to my sauce and it's so simple to make that I thought I'd share it with you. When in a pinch I will use jarred tomato sauce but I always flavor it. But when I have time for it to cook I'd prefer to use canned tomatoes and my favorite Italian seasonings and meats to give it an awesome flavor. You'll need two cans of Tomato Puree or Crushed Tomatoes (I prefer Cento or Pastene Kitchen Ready) or sometimes I use one of each, olive oil, crushed...

Butterball Cookie Recipe

by Karen Mendes | Cookie Recipes, Recipes | 22 Comments

I've been baking!! I love baking and so does my family. They all anxiously wait for the taste testing part. They usually ask me a few times if it's time to taste them yet. I can't blame them, it's my favorite part too. I make about 8 different cookies for the holidays but the ones that are the most popular and everyone's favorite is a Butterball Cookie recipe that my mom passed down to me. The reason why they are called butterballs is that they are made with a lot of butter and no eggs so they have a big butter taste. And when you combine butter with powdered sugar - they just melt in your mouth! Make sure you check out my other cookie recipes. Butterball Cookie Recipe Over the...

7 Days of Children’s Christmas Stories {Making Holiday Memories}

by Karen Mendes | Christmas, DIY | 21 Comments

Right now it's all about making memories and starting traditions. Here is something fun we will be doing with our girls that I thought I'd share. One of my favorite parts of the holiday season is reading Children's Christmas Stories. When my kids were little, we had a lot of Children's Christmas books and they loved reading them every year. But with all the books we had in the house, sometimes it's hard to locate them and then there was finding the time to read them. A few years back, I came up with a solution and we did this for years. 7 Days of Children's Christmas Stories I wrapped 7 of our Children's Christmas stories the week before Christmas and each night till Christmas Eve, the...
