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.

Football Merchandise

It's football season and Walmart has all their Razorback merchandise out. I was browsing the aisle the other day and saw these. I immediately thought whiskey! A great way to sneak liquor into the stadium. Of course the back says intended for water only. Yeah right! No one looks at this and says water.

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.

Dogwoods

Sunday I inventoried our Dogwood Trees. We have 24 total. Some are just small bushes. There are probably about 12 big trees. I marked them so that when we are clearing brush later we won't kill them. My hope is to clear out some around them so they can all grow into large trees. They are absolutely beautiful to look at!!! I want to get some more pictures, but I got Poison Ivy on my legs the other day so I'm staying out of the woods for now.
