Friday Favorite & Giveaway!!!

So I was pretty content on never having to really cook again and just relying on my freezer meals for the next...well forever I guess.  Then Tuttorosso sent me a box to give their product to try.  The box included a few delicious sounding recipes but I decided to go for the pasta sauce one.  I have tried making my own sauce but it has always come out pretty bland.  So I usually just stick to one of the premade, store bought sauces.  My mom and mother-in-law both have wonderful homemade sauce recipes and going home for spaghetti is the ultimate back-home-comfort-meal for me.  I want my children to feel the same way when they grow up and leave home!

I set out with skepticism in my mind because I have never had luck before. I threw the recipe together in about 20 minutes and let it simmer on the stove for about 2 hours.  The result:

Sooooooooo delish!!

The critics:

~My six year old said, "Mommy this is the best sauce EVER!"

~My four year old (who never wants sauce on her noodles) asked for seconds and then thirds and wanted more but we were out of noodles.

~My husband (with a surprised tone to his voice) said, "This is really good!" And went back for seconds as well.

-Me:  Big smile (and some sauce) on my face! 

Verdict:

Goodbye store bought sauces...this is my new favorite! Easy, full of flavor, loved by my whole family!  And the recipe made enough to feed my family at least two meals! I can't wait to try the other two recipes, Savory Skillet Chicken and Versatile Italian Relish! 

Next meal we used the sauce for:

Italian Subs-get sub rolls, put sauce inside and top with mozzarella 

 These got devoured!
