Staple Sauce: My fool-proof (usually) marinara sauce recipe
I started dating someone who had never before been exposed to home-cooked food. The bar was set so low, and his appreciation was (and still is) so genuine, I that I felt no fear when trying out new things in the kitchen. So with that being said, here is one of the first recipes I tried on him when we decided to make homemade pizza.
I started with a family recipe and tweaked it until it fit my taste. This recipe is a great one to start with because it’s simple and once you become comfortable with the bare bones, you can add or substitute ingredients until it becomes what you want.

Delicious tomato sauce you can make in your crock pot
This is my Crock Pot Tomato Sauce. I adapted it from a recipe I saw online somewhere forever ago. My nearly three-year-old daughter loves it and it’s hearty enough that my carnivorous hubby-to-be doesn’t notice when it doesn’t have meat.
