Hello, is this thing on?
So I really have been cooking since my last post. I just keep forgetting to post. I made at least 5 dinners I swear. ;) So first of all I also added a recipe at the bottom of this post that I made for Super Bowl Sunday dinner. I forgot to take any pics.
Here is a yummy recipe for homemade marinara sauce. I got it from my cute friend and new visiting teachee Charees Miller.
chop a yellow onion
chop up a clove of garlic
shred 1 carrot
shred 1 zucchini
saute in olive oil
add 1T italian seasoning and some fresh basil--if you have it
add a large (20oz) can crushed tomatoes in puree
simmer for one hour
Yummo! I also added some ground turkey tonight for some protein. I used a pound but in the future will only use a quarter of that. It was too meaty for me. So I added another can of tomato puree. I wanted to savor more of the marinara. Served it with a caesar salad. My kids loved it.
Waistline: Very good. All healthy ingredients. And I used whole wheat noodles.
Frugality: Very "cheap" meal. Had it all on hand.
Super Bowl Chicken White Chili--realize that she calls it "simple" but it took me a good 2 hours.
And thank you to my one reader Kristen. :) Hope you like this.
