My food blog is about the foods that I actually make for my family. My schedule is so crazy that I tend to turn meals that are easy for an active family, all while trying to make healthy choices. And of course you will find an occasional not so healthy meals, or treats but like they say..."everything in moderation!"

Bobby's Flay's Tomato Sauce
Being that it's August and tomatoes are in season this time of year I thought this would be the perfect time to try to make my own sauce. I have to say that I don't regret taking the time to make it.
This is by far the best sauce that I have ever had. The favor in this recipe is out of this world. Another thing that makes this recipe a winner is the fact that it's not watery and becomes a nice think smooth sauce.
I will never go back to using jarred sauce again. Thanks Bobby!
