Not Much

Not much has been happening in the Taylor house lately. Brianna is getting ready for school to be out. She is excited about being out for the summer. That will last about 2 days, before she is bored.

My allergies are killing me. I am losing my voice. It normally happens about twice a year. I think it's God's way of giving Brian and the kids a break. I don't really feel bad, just a little run down.

Cleaning house today. Man, I hate doing that. I wish someone would invent a house that cleans itself. I tried a new recipe on Tuesday. Tuesday night Jenny came over. I am doing a Premier Jewelry catalog party for her. If you want to look at a catalog, let me know. I even have some sample jewelry you can look at.

Brian starts his last class Saturday. He will be going every other Saturday for 10 weeks! I am so excited that he is almost finished. He got his grades yesterday for the semester he just finished up. He got all A's. I am just so proud of him. He works so hard, going to work and going to school.

Macaroni-Sausage Bake

1 cup elbow macaroni
1 pound pork sausage
1/2 cup green bell pepper, chopped
1/2 cup red bell pepper, chopped
1/8 cup onion, chopped
1/2 tsp. dried oregano
1/4 tsp. pepper
16 oz tomato sauce
1 cup water
1/8 cup grated Parmesan cheese, divided

Cook macaroni according to package directions; drain and set aside. Cook sausage in a skillet over medium heat until no longer pink; drain. Add green pepper, red pepper, onion, oregano, and pepper. Stir in tomato sauce and water. Boil. Reduce heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in macaroni and half of Parmesan cheese. Pour mixture into an ungreased 2-quart baking dish. Sprinkle remaining Parmesan cheese on top. Bake, uncovered, at 350 for 25 minutes or until bubbly.

I cooked the pepper and onion with the sausage to make them a little softer. I only used green peppers, red peppers are too expensive!
