Tomato Pasta Sauce

One of the trickiest parts of cooking is cooking for a crowd – how do you please everyone? Enter this sauce! I recently had a whole hodge-podge of people over and wanted to easily please everyone without making multiple dishes. This tomato sauce is easy to make and a cheap recipe to make in bulk for a crowd. Vegetarian friendly and perfectly pairs with grilled chicken for the meat lovers in your life. Even if you’re not cooking for a crowd, you can make this sauce in bulk and it freezes beautifully. So cook up and enjoy!

Mexican Spice Blend

A packet of taco seasoning can help in a pinch but making your own is cheaper and you can suit it to your own taste profile. I use this when making chicken for tacos, enchiladas, and other dishes. Delicious, easy, and customizable! How do you like to balance your spice blend?

Mango Salsa

I got this idea from the Del Monte mango salsa recipe. It was a good base but it was definitely missing the kick I like to get from my salsas! Very easy to make and a healthy, colorful snack. Not to mention the praise you'll get if you bring this to a party! Awesome way to stand out from the usual chips and salsa crowd. Enjoy!

Blueberry Vinaigrette

Thanks to a lovely trip blueberry picking with my cousins, I have more blueberries than I know what to do with! So I decided to give a blueberry vinaigrette a whirl and (if I do say so myself) - it turned out delicious! Enjoy and let me know what you like to put in your homemade dressings!

Raspberry Vinaigrette

Salads and dressing go together - no arguments here! But I struggle with some of the dressing I see on the shelf at the store.  We often see extremely high sodium, sugar, and (of course!) calories. It takes more effort to make your own dressing, but it pays dividends and gives you much more freedom to customize your dressing to better match your personal flavor profile along with the flavor profile of whatever salad you're serving.
