The Ste Martaen Marinara Sauce

By nahum, November 27, 2009 8:31 PM

The base of all things good. The sauce that took weeks to perfect. The base that flavors the whole. Yes, The One. Yes, it’s here…The Ste Martaen Marinara Sauce.

Alright, enough with the fake hype. As you may know, I hate store bought tomato sauce. For years I have tried every brand under the sun and still couldn’t hep but to add a little of this or that to any sauce I purchased. So, after finding the glory and wide uses of canned tomatoes. Bam!!! I figured out what was missing…my flavors. I’m picky, but I believe great food can be made easily. Why waste your money buying half made products, when you can create your own masterpieces at home with a quarter of the budget?

A good marinara sauce can take you a real long way. Marinara is the essential flavor you taste in so many dishes…pizza, pasta, lasagna, etc., etc., etc. So, here’s our foundational glory…The Ste Martaen Marinara.

3 Pepper & Vegan Sausage Tomato Sauce

3 PEPPER & VEGGIE SAUSAGE TOMATO SAUCE

OK, now let’s make some outstanding tomato sauce. I definitely prefer to make sauce than to buy pre-made. I always end up adding something to the pre-made stuff because it is never quite right and making from scratch is easy and cheaper.

Meeting Pioneer Woman (Ree Drummond)

By laviyah, November 21, 2009 12:12 AM

As much as I love and have embraced the vegan lifestyle, I certainly ain’t no snob about it.  My best friend is not a vegan nor does she plan to be any time soon.  We’ve been friends so long that meat does not come between our love and respect for each other.  I love my grandparents totally and completely and being meat eaters for over eighty years they eat what I give them (the only time they eat vegan) as their precious granddaughter when I visit.  They think I’m cute but they certainly are not changing their meat eating ways even for me.  They also respect my choices and see with their own eyes my four completely healthy vegan children.  So when I come across a blogger who eats meat, I don’t immediately turn away, especially if we have common interests.

Kale Chips (even a 9 month old baby will love)

The dehydrated Kale chips in the raw section of the grocery store are like a gazillion dollars. I’ve been tempted to purchase them, but my pocketbook won’t let me since a bunch of organic kale is relatively cheap in comparison to what the store bought chips cost.
