Spaghetti Sauce

I've been looking for a good homemade spaghetti sauce. It's probably my family's favorite meal. So, I turned to my favorite cook, Pioneer Woman, and tried her recipe. It's tasty, delicious, and of course, very easy to make. I didn't make the meatballs, just the sauce, but you do what suits your family.

Saute one diced onion and 3 cloves of minced garlic in just a little bit of olive oil in a dutch oven.

Pour in one 28 oz. can of whole tomatoes and one 28 oz. can of crushed tomatoes. Add 1 tsp. of sugar. Then for flavor, add salt, pepper, parsley, and italian seasoning to taste. Mix well. Cook for about 20 minutes over medium heat.

Crock Pot Beef Stroganoff

I found this recipe on Pinterest. It is so easy, delicious, and creamy. This is not a healthy dish. I don't even want to know the calorie count. But, it is something we have every so often with some steamed veggies.


Pour 2 cans of golden cream of mushroom soup into a crock pot. Add one diced onion, 1/2 cup of water, and 2-3 Tbsp. of Worcestershire sauce. Mix well.

Add 2 lbs. of cubed stew meat and mix to coat.

Cook on low for 8 hours.

Cut up one 8 oz. block of cream cheese. Add to the crock pot and turn it on high for 30 minutes. Stir to help get the lumps out.

Serve the meat mixture over noodles and enjoy the yumminess!
