Quick and Easy Spahetti Sauce

Spaghetti meat sauce (quick & easy) - used my fresh herbs in the sauce


Instead of using jar spaghetti sauce, you can do a simply quick and easy sauce. Brown your meat of choice and drain. Use can tomato sauce and I like to use puree as well as it has a thicker texture. I also like to diced tomatoes, usually the flavored diced tomatoes. I add my minced garlic, onions, fresh basil, flat leaf parsley and oregano. I also add a little sugar to cut the acidity of the tomatoes. Add your drained meat in and let it simmer for about 20-30 minutes (if you have time).

I have also boiled my pasta with fresh chopped herbs as well! Happy cooking!

Growing fresh herbs

Nothing like growing fresh herbs to use in salsas, sauces, marinades and drinks!

Chinese (my way) Chicken Lo Mein and Crab Rangoon

Wanted to try making Chicken Lo Mein. I usually make Chinese food at home but decided to give this a try. Very easy to make, prep time is the longest process in making this.

Chicken and Delish Baked Mac & Cheese

This was a very easy meal. Simply marinate the chicken in Italian dressing and marinade of your choice. Let it marinade for a couple hours or let it sit in the fridge for 8 hours and cook when you get home. I have a grill pan that I use, but this can be done in a regular pan as well.
