Pasta Sauce

Last night I made my own pasta sauce! I used tomatoes, onion, tomato paste, garlic, brown sugar, Italian spices, and salt and pepper. After blending it all up in the +Vitamix, I simmered it for about 35 - 40 minutes and put them on top of the pasta. The sauce tasted very fresh and healthy! I am really loving making all of my own stuff! Pretty soon I am going to tackle making my own pasta!








Tonight I made salsa again, and we LOVED it! I used tomatoes, onion, cilantro, garlic, lime, and green chillies. Next time I'll add a little more tomato, but I think I have pretty much perfected my salsa. Look at how pretty it turned out!




We had a lot of the wing sauce leftover from the other night so we are using that tonight to marinate chicken to make chicken and broccoli stir fry tomorrow!

We had to run a lot of errands today, including going to wal-mart, yuck. But, we were in the back and walked by the bikes. I decided I wanted to look at the bikes, and I decided to try to ride one down the aisle. Notice I said TRY! The ones I tried we too short so my legs wouldn't really pedal. Yeah.. imagine me, on a bike, in wal-mart! It was pretty ridiculous, but fun. I think I want Jimmy and I to get bikes so we can ride around the neighborhood. I think it is a good first goal.

Hope everyone is having a great week! Only 2 days to go. I'll be in an Employment Law CLE for the next two days, but then my dad is coming to town this weekend. What should I take him to do??

  2. That pasta sauce and salsa looks amazing!!! I made my own salsa around Christmas time and gave it as gifts. Everyone loved it and it was great knowing that everything was natural. I think you guys should get bikes!!! I absolutely love mine! If I can do it, you can do it! :)
