Snow Storm, We lost Frosty, and Spaghetti

Alright kids,
We just had a MAJOR snow storm! So major, in fact, WE LOST FROSTY IN THE SNOW STORM!
I can't find him anywhere!
Anyway, I guess, if you see a button nose anywhere...let me know. That means we're getting close!!

Santa wanted me to remind you kids of the Nice List. He said, "If those kids want to be on the nice list, the need to make their bed each morning and pick up their toys each night. Santa can't leave presents for messy kids!"

He was absolutely serious, too. Why would Santa bring more toys if you can't take care of the ones you have now?!
Please keep it nice and tidy! What if Santa tripped over your toys on Christmas Eve? That would not be good.

Update from Mrs. Clause's Kitchen!
Last night, since it was a blistering cold storm, Santa requested Mrs. Clause's special Christmas Spaghetti. It was SO GOOD, I begged her to share it with you guys! Let me know how it goes!

Mrs. Clause's Special Christmas Spaghetti


INGREDIENTS:


6 - 8 oz cans of Tomato Sauce (any brand will work)

1 lb of ground beef (or turkey)

1 package of Hillshire Farm Polska Kielbasa Sausage (there are options for Turkey, beef or pork--choose whichever you like!)










1 Packet of Spaghetti Seasoning (any brand or variation will do fine!)

4 TBS of Italian Seasoning

You will be preparing this in either a large pot or crock-pot. Preparation is the same for both!

First, pull out a pan and brown the ground beef until cooked thoroughly while seasoning it with 2 TBSP of Italian Seasoning. Mix the seasoning in very well!

While the beef is cooking, open all 6 cans of tomato sauce and pour them into your pot! Add 2 cans of water.

Next, Ope your Kielbasa Sausage and cut them into 1 inch pieces like shown:

Add the sausage to your sauce in the pot.

Pour in the packet of Spaghetti Seasoning and add the other 2 TBSP of Italian seasoning. Stir well.

Once the beef is done, add it to your sauce pot using a holed ladle to strain the excess grease!

Let that simmer in your crock-pot for as long as needed (checking moisture level so it wont dry out. add 1/4 cup of water at a time to keep moist till dinner)

Or, boil on medium/low for an hour in a regular pot on the stove.

Pour over cooked noodles ad enjoy with salad and garlic bread!

I hope you enjoy it! Now, I'm off to let out Santa's pants--AGAIN! At least I know my cooking keeps his belly shakin' like a bowl full of jelly!

Love,

Mrs. Clause
