I love to cook. If you a close friend of mine you sure know that by now. I try to feed everyone. It's how I show I care for you. One of my most recent adventures has been making homemade marinara sauce!
I will never go back to jarred pasta sauce again!
Making the sauce was relatively easy. I have done it twice so far. The first time the sauce came out great, though it had a kick to it - it was high in acidity. For the second go around I added a few chopped carrots to the sauce and voilà, the high acidity was nixed!

I will forever have homemade sauce stocked in my fridge and freezer. It came in handy this weekend when my friends and I decided to make pizza! We used some premade crusts as we were short on time (that will have to be another cooking adventure soon though!). Smoothed on some sauce - though not too much cause then the pizza would get soggy. I would say it was less than a 1/4 cup of sauce. Then the cheese of course, about 1 cup. For toppings we had two pizzas. One had red onions, cilantro, garlic and tomatoes. The second had roasted red and green bell peppers and garlic. Both were fantastic but the pepper pizza was out of this world! I think it was the fact the peppers were roasted the day prior and sat in the fridge to develop more flavor.
Cooking is always an adventure! To my friends, you are always welcome in my kitchen. Let's cook a meal together!
