Working Towards: A fun weekend

Saturday

So Saturday was the hottest day we have had in a very long time. It was about 78 degrees outside. We really had every intention of spending the day outside, but between the fact that we didn't have sunscreen for Wynnie and the fact that... Well we really hate the heat we decided not to spend the day outside, instead we spent it indoors like the hermits we are. We actually spent the day doing stuff that we normally do like our homework, playing games, playing with Wynnie, and watching TV. What an eventful day, right? But really it was! Something me and Edwin knew from the start is that we really appreciate playing video games. Now, that mixed with a delicious pasta dinner (which is posted below) and just being together was more than enough fun for us. I have to say that I am a sucker for any type of pasta meal. I love to make it and love love love to eat it. The way to my heart is with pasta! I really have no self control when it comes to eating it though. I could probably eat a whole lb of pasta myself. Hahaha. 

So we didn't do anything super special this weekend. No pillows and blankets in the living room for movie night, no planned date, no nothing. We just took the day as it came to us which believe it or not really worked to make a great weekend. I spend so much time planning special dinners and dates for me and Edwin to spend time with each other that I forgot about the amazing impact that simplicity gives. Not everything has to be perfect to have a good time with the one you love. 

So I promised you a delicious pasta sauce recipe and here it is: (for pizza casserole)

• 3 cans of 15oz tomato sauce
• 1 1/2 Tbsp minced garlic
• pinch of salt
• 1/2 Tbsp parsley
• 1/2 Tbsp oregano
• 1/2 Tbsp basil
• Pepperoni (we use half a stick of pepperoni)
• 1 Tbsp Olive oil

We add all of that together and let it cook on a low heat for a few hours. Stir occasionally. We don't bake ours mostly out of laziness. We only use 1 lb of noodles. We also like to have ours with garlic bread and mozzarella cheese on top of our pasta. Yum! I would have posted pictures, but I forgot to take them when I made it. Next time I make this I will definitely take pictures.
