Sunday Night Dinners

This is my first post on my  new blog site.  A huge thank you to my bestest friend, Joey for setting it up for me.  She means more to me than she could ever know.  More on that later..  my first blog is dedicated to Sunday dinners.  Between Kevin and I we have 4 children.  Chris is 25, Logan is 21, Nick is 21 and McKenzie is 16.  We don't have a lot of sit down dinners but all the kids are expected to come home for Sunday dinner unless they have a good excuse.  Tonight we are having spaghetti.  My brother-in-law turned me on to the trick for good sauce...half hamburger, half spicy ground sausage and a can of chopped olives. Most of my kids don't like olives but what they don't know can't hurt them so shhhh it'll be our little secret.  Now on to the butter... technically mayo is not butter but it's pretty darn close in my opinion.  With spaghetti we always have cheesey bread it's ooey, gooey and probably one of the most fattening things on earth.  What can I say "life's better with butter" or in this case mayo.  You've got to try this recipe... after you make it once your family and friends will literally beg for it.  In a bowl mix mayo, shredded cheese and oregano.  I don't measure so just dump it in until it looks good not to much mayo but not to dry. ( I'm guessing maybe a cup and 1/2 of mayo and 3 cups of cheese.)  Spread it on your french bread pretty heavily... don't skimp.  Bake it in the oven on 350 for about 20 minutes or so until it's nice and bubbly.   Sunday nights are pretty crazy around this house. The kids come in like a whirlwind  and when they leave it looks like a tornado hit but between you and me I wouldn't have it any other way.  Thank you Lord for these beautiful children and the fact they want to come back home for dinner.  ps... if you could give them the desire to help with dishes that would be good too.  :)
