Day 220

Rick and I have been trying to find healthier recipes to cook for dinner.  One of the best things we've found is making our own pasta sauces.  We've made a sun-dried tomato pesto sauce and a roasted red pepper and basil sauce that were both awesome and SO easy!  You just buy jars of the main ingredient in oil and blend them up in the blender with a few other ingredients... salt, pepper, herbs, broth... and then pour it on the pasta.  Super easy.  They were both awesome, too.  The only downside is that the peppers and tomatoes in oil can be a little pricey, but we're just going to start looking for them on sale and stock up.


This picture isn't from our sauce because we ate it before I remembered to take a picture, but this is exactly what ours looked like.  This is from the pioneer woman's roasted red pepper sauce.  She actually roasts her own peppers... we're not that adventurous yet.  It's such an awesome color.  So good!
