Tonight I made Pizza Sauce I and I added a few things and this turned out to be the best pizza sauce I’ve ever made. My husband claims the best he’s ever had and that’s huge. This makes a couple of servings, so use what you need and store the rest.

4 tbsp. olive oil
Several cloves of minced garlic (I use about six or seven)
1/2 c. diced onion
Several fresh peppers diced
1 12 oz. can of tomato sauce
2 tsp. dried oregano
2 tsp. dried basil
1 tsp. parsley
1 tsp. salt
1 tsp. black pepper
4 tbsp. tomato paste
1 tsp. Italian vinegar

In saucepan, saute garlic, peppers, and onion until tender. Add tomato sauce and then stir in seasonings. I find using a whisk lightly works the best to ensure everything is stirred in completely.

My kids have found the joy in Egg Salad Sandwiches and I have found the joy in them as well because of their cost and how filling they are! 18 large eggs cost me $1.49 at the grocery store yesterday, that’s a lot of salad.

Hard boiled eggs
Celery
Onions
Salt & Pepper
Mayo

Peel the eggs and cut into pieces, add in celery, onions, salt and pepper and mayo to taste.

Preheat Oven to 375

1/2 c. bread crumbs
2 tbsp. parmesan cheese
1 tsp. basil
1 tsp. oregano
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
2/3 c. melted butter
1/4 c. white wine
1/4 c. onion
1/4 c. parsley

Combine first five ingredients and coat chicken. (Roll breasts in butter and then coat with mixture. For a healthier option, you can use skim milk in place of butter). Spray baking pan and put chicken breasts in oven. Bake for 50-60 minutes.

In separate pan, saute onion in butter, add wine and parsley. Cook until onion is tender. In the last five minutes of the chicken cooking, pull out and add onion topping.

The smell this creates is wonderful!
