Mm... this sauce is thick, rich, and very hearty with bold pieces of sautéed onion and garlic littered through it. It's absolutely perfect for dipping, but would be just as amazing atop some 3 Ingredient Pizza Dough, or in any other place that you would use a typical pizza sauce...
Read MoreTortellini En Brodo (Broth)
I'm honestly... exhausted today as I write this. My little girl was up the most of the night with a cough. I tried everything I knew to do and nothing seemed to soothe or calm it. Finally, sometime in the wee hours of the morning I grabbed her up and brought her in bed to cuddle up with me.

When I registered my 'shower complaint' with the doctor this morning at my post-op check up... he said it was one of his most common fusses.
Thankfully I haven't had much physical pain. Just the nuisance of not being able to get around very well...
Read MoreCrock Pot Summer Vegetable Soup
I've been preparing for my foot surgery that will have already taken place by the time this is posted, and in the process of meal planning I found myself really wanting to make a soup.
I know, it sounds crazy! It's 100+ degrees F. in Texas and I want soup. But, I was craving some comfort food that would be easy for me to deal with in the process of getting surgery-ready and then healing...
