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.

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.

House Exteriors

 I spend most of my free time these days staring at the freaking computer looking for ideas for our house. There is a site Houzz . It's my new addiction. If you haven't ever explored it check it out. You can type in anything dealing with houses and get thousands and thousands of pictures to browse through. I look at EVERYTHING and pin the things I like on Pinterest. This makes it so easy to go back and review favorites. I have several boards dedicated to various rooms and the outside of the house. My focus these days is on the exterior. Hopefully in the next two weeks I will have a house pad and be ready to frame the house. I  know that I want a metal roof (not sure what color), cedar columns, stone, and cedar siding/shingles. not sure about color combination, how much siding or how much stone, and the front porch and walkway (the front yard will be pretty steep). I'm on Spring Break this week so I plan on visiting some lumber yards so I get a closer look at certain materia...
