Foodie Friday - Spaghetti Soup

YUM!!!  What a hit this was!!!  I found a similar recipe online but switched it up a bit and made it even better (in my opinion!) AND made it easier!!

Spaghetti Soup

• 5 cups low sodium, fat-free chicken broth
• 2 chopped cloves garlic
• 1/2 onion, chopped
• 1 jar chunky spaghetti sauce 
• pinch crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
• kosher salt and fresh pepper
• package of precooked sausage crumbles (I used the soy kind and no one knew!)
• approximately 1/2 box of broken spaghetti - picture below of what I used

Directions:

In a soup pot over medium heat, bring all ingredients excpet noodles to a boil; simmer together for at least 5 mins but for as long as you want...I had mine on for about 40 minutes.  Add broken noodles and cook until they are done tor your liking - took about 10 minutes for me.  I sprinkled with Parmasean cheese.  Would be great with garlic bread too!! 

Wake up, darling...

Wouldn't this be a sweet card to wake up to?  I have to leave for business soon...I'm thinking of leaving it on someone special's pillow. Absence makes the heart grow fonder.  And a little help with that never can hurt!
And, I'm sure you know it's Bugaboo cause I use them so much!

Have a great day!

Broken Ankle :(

My poor boy!!!  We have a new place in town called Sky Zone (check out you tube for some cool videos!) it's all trampolines.  Even on some of the walls!  Very cool!  Alos very dangerous...especially the dodgeball floor.  Lots of places for a foot to fit and that's just what happened.  Luckily no surgery was needed.  Too bad he's out for the rest of his bball season and maybe even the start of rugby.  Ugh.  :(  But he's a trooper and doing very well - even if he's a bit gimpy.  :) 
Here he is the day it happened...oh it was at a bday party too!!!  Poor guy didn't even get cake...but the party mom brought him his own pile of brownies the very next day!! :)
