Today is Sunday and I'm doing what I do on this day every week...... cooking EVERYTHING is the refrigerator!! I cooked the usual, Salmon Cakes, Chicken Noodle Soup, and added some newbies to the mix.
I decided to make my own Red Pasta Sauce instead of using the jar of sauce. Now don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the Prego Meat Sauce and Classico, but the sodium is soo high and you know I'm trying to eat better.
So here's what I did. I used 1 can of NO SALT ADDED diced tomatoes and 1 can of stewed tomatoes. Both are the Great Value brand at Walmart, so everyone can find them easily.
1 tbsp EVOO (Extra Virgin Olive Oil)
1 large onion chopped
2 large garlic cloves minced
1 can NO SALT ADDED diced Tomatoes
1 can Stewed tomatoes
2 tbsp chopped fresh basil
1 tbsp Italian Seasoning
2 cups water
Saute onion and garlic in the EVOO on medium-high heat for about 7 minutes.
Add cans of tomato and cook for another 10 mins.
Season with the Italian seasoning and add water. Cook for 20 mins on low heat.
Add the basil towards the end and save some as a garnish on top!!
I made the sauce and served it with a Chicken Pasta for lunch today, and Trent loved it. He went back for seconds, lol!!!
Random: So I can't wait to get home for Christmas! I want Nicki Minaj's "Pink Friday" album along with money and #thatisall lol.
P.S. Shout out to my wonderful family for following my blog, My mom, dad, sister, and Aunt Kristee!!!! Thanks for your support!!! Love you guys!!!!!
This blog allows me to be completely myself. Free from fear and judgement, I am able to speak on whatever crosses my mind. I'll share some good cooking with you and I also want to open up multiple lines of discussion centered around random events in our daily lives. Gotta have some place to vent, lol.
We love you too! And keep up the good work! You are well on your way to making it big with your great culibary skills and bubbly personality to set it off. Keep working hard and set out a date to get your cookbook material done and work towards that goal. The rest will fall in place! ;-)
ReplyDeleteI will indeed set a date. That will keep me from procrastinating...... like I'm doing, lol. Hmmmmmm.
