So, there is a fast food type sandwich/pizza place we have around here called Schlotzsky’s Deli. They have the most insanely amazing pizza sauce.  After doing a little research, I discovered there pizza sauce is a sun-dried tomato pesto marinara. Since yesterday was my BIRTHDAY and my whole entire life revolves around cooking, I […]

  HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!! Who is ready to start the year off right with some LOW FAT cooking?  Just kidding …hehe…You know me better than that 🙂  Our last meal of 2013 was a family favorite, Chicken Parmesan!  To be honest, I have made Chicken Parmesan about 20 different ways, and never one time had […]

Everyone had one of their favorite, quick and easy meals […]

      This is one of our all time favorite recipes!  When I make meatballs from scratch, I usually double this recipe. Since I am already dirtying the pans, I might as well make double the amount and have some in the freezer for a quick weeknight meal.  I am including the spaghetti sauce […]
