Chili Spaghetti a la Pantry Surprise

Hi there! Come on in . . you're just in time for supper!!
Tonight I made a big pot of chili spaghetti (maybe missing the chili spaghetti at Frisch's Big Boy just a little?). .
Here's how I did it . .
In a large cooking pot combine:
1 can mexi-corn
1 can chili (with/without beans)
1 can spaghetti sauce
Uncooked spaghetti noodles
[figure all quantities to create desired servings]
Mix well and simmer over medium flame until noodles are tender.
This was a very yummy meal . . Matt asked for seconds (always a sign of true success!!) so I'll be making this dish again regularly!!!
Do you have any good recipes that are a one pan wonder?

My First Crazy Quilt

Ok, so both ends of the binding are stitched to the quilt top  . .
I have the first side piece pinned in place and have begun to stitch it . .

Day 3/366

Heat for our cold toes!!
29*F here so this fire is critical to keeping the furnace from eating up more hard-earned money!!!

My Paid Work~Out Program . .

Well, hello there!! Happy Monday to you . .
My paid workout has begun, although I must confess that I am having unrelenting muscle spasms across my lower back . . the pain is indescribable (childbirth of my son comes to mind . .) . . .  I took both a muscle relaxer and an ibuprofen at 8:00am, but neither has bothered to even try to kick in . .
I see a long day ahead of me  . .

Day 3/366

Quilting and praying  . . .
I need His Divine Will over my life . .
Thinking and talking to God a lot about being alone  . .
