This year I am making a big effort to pay more attention to the foods my family eats. I am going back to basics and cooking more recipes that will save me money and fill my family up. At the same time I am changing up what we eat and increasing the amount of veggies we eat daily. This is actually the hard part since my teens see vegetables and refuse to eat it. Luckily I know a few tricks and can dice thing sup small and cook slow for a long time making them hard to detect. Foods have all the flavour and yummy goodness but the kids have to really dig through to see the things I have a hard time getting them to consume.
If you have growing teens like me you know all too well that a meal will take hours to prepare and only minutes for them to gobble it up. This use to frustrate me and often discourage me. However the financial benefits from cooking from scratch and the nutritional bonuses make it all worth the hard work and time. Recently Ricardo Cuisine approached me about trying out one of their healthy section recipes at home and having my family taste test it. Since we eat a lot of pasta I knew right away I wanted to try out the Spaghetti Sauce recipe from their site. Pasta always is a great option when it comes to feeding a crowd or a big family like mine.
Growing up my mom use to always make spaghetti using fresh ingredients but myself, it has mostly been pasta sauce from a can, no originality. I would come home from school to the house filled with the zesty aroma and I could not wait until dinner was served. I was both nervous and excited to see how my family would react to my rendition of this tasty sauce.
Sounds really good. Thank you.
As an Italian, anything that’s not homemade isn’t edible when it comes to pasta sauce 😉
My mom always made her own pasta sauce when we were growing up. Unfortunately it has been a long time since I have attempted to make her recipe but now I want to dig it out and make a batch for dinner tomorrow.
That looks amazing! I love making up my own spaghetti sauce. I’ll have to try out your recipe soon. I’m sure I’ll love it.
