Tomato Sauce

I've been making my own pasta sauce for years now. It's super easy and way better and cheaper than the stuff you buy in the jars.

Here's how I do it. Sauté 5-6 gloves garlic in olive oil. I use a bag of the frozen three pepper and onion blend. (I keep these on hand all the time.) Once those soften, I add 2 cans of fire roasted tomatoes and a large can tomato sauce (add more if you want a thinner sauce). Then I add lots of Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper. Today I added red pepper flakes too. Let it simmer. It makes about 2 quarts. I usually freeze some for another day.

I'm using this tomato sauce for chicken lasagna roll-ups. I've seen the recipe on Pinterest. I'll let you know how it turns out.

Pool Time!

We spent the weekend at our friends' pool. We took the dogs with us Sunday so they could have a play date. M and B have to pit bulls that are so sweet. Nahla, the youngest one, loves to play! They were also puppy sitting the cutest beagle ever!  They absolutely love going places! They were waiting in the car while I was loading our things.  I've never been able to get Hatfield in the pool, but Lilly loves it. She started off just sitting on the steps and one day she just jumped in. So, now she jumps in every now and then to cool off. Kev mixed up refreshing peach mojitos (I guess I've had major peach craving lately) this weekend. I'd share the recipe but that's his job. I never really know what all goes into what I'm drinking. I just know it's delicious! 

And a Roof

They finished the roof up today! Back of the house. Front of the house. They use these to hold the plywood together.

The Crud

I feel like crud! I've blown my nose so much this weekend that my face is raw and red. I can't imagine how I have this much snot in me. Anyways. I didn't get my Thursday 3 miler in or my 9 mile long run this weekend. How can I run when I can't freaking breathe?!? I've been taking medicine and using my Nettie Pot, so here's hoping I feel like running towards the end of this week. So glad this is a short work week and a field trip on Wednesday. I NEED a break!!
