Homemade Pizza Sauce

Earlier this week I shared my favorite homemade pizza dough recipe with you and it got me thinking that you might also want me to share my favorite easy homemade pizza sauce recipe too. After all if you are going to make pizza, knowing how to make your own pizza sauce with pantry ingredients will probably come in handy! There have been so many times where I have decided to make pizza on a whim and then I don’t have any pizza sauce in the pantry. This led me to start making my own pizza sauce with ingredients I always have on hand! And I have to tell you that after making my own sauce, I rarely use the store bought kind because my homemade version is so much more delicious! Homemade pizza sauce is just what you need to take your pizzas to the next level and I am going to show you just how easy it is.

5 Simple Homemade Salad Dressings

If your goal is to eat more plants this year, salads are a great go-to option for lunch or dinner. You can pack in all the veggies and on top of that, the possibilities are endless with the different flavor combinations that you can mix up. For me, a good salad is all about texture and the dressing that I use. Salad dressings can make or break whether I can really enjoy a salad or not. If the dressings are tasty, I can switch up my salads and eat them multiple times a week. Because of this fact, I started making my own dressings years ago and haven’t looked back since. The flavors are just so much better than store bought dressings that there is no comparison. I have so many different ones that I make, but I compiled my top five favorite dressings that I make the most for you to try at home too. I have 5 simple homemade salad dressings that will transform the way you think about salads and will help you eat more plants all year long!

Basic Basil Pesto: My Diary of Us

Basic Basil Pesto

 One of the things I like to do for meal prepping is to make sauces at the beginning of the week.  I like this because even if I don't know exactly what is on the menu, if I have a delicious sauce in the fridge waiting on me, I can usually creates a yummy dinner in no time!  Sauces like my basic basil pesto are one of my staples that I almost always have on hand!  When I say basic basil pesto, that is not to take away from how utterly delicious a basic pesto actually can be.  What I mean is that it is the most simple form of pesto, a basic formula to build on for any future pesto creations.  I love having a batch of this in the fridge or the freezer for pizzas, pastas, sandwiches, eggs, and more and I think you are going to love making a homemade basic basil pesto in your kitchen too!
