The Simplest Tomato Sauce

Have you ever heard of the motto, less is more.  This recipe is a great example of this.  In our house we rarely buy a jar of tomato sauce, we make our own!  During the summer I will use my fresh tomatoes from the garden but for the rest of the year I use the Italian canned tomatoes.
 Feel free to add other ingredients or remove ingredients.  The great thing about this sauce is you can add or subtract whatever you or your family likes!!  Enjoy.

The Simplest Tomato Sauce
Wieda Family Favorite

2 cans of Italian diced Tomatoes (I puree them in my food processor)
1 tsp fresh garlic
1 Tbsp fresh basil (optional)
1 tsp Italian Seasoning
1/2 tsp garlic salt
6 Tbsp butter

Bring tomatoes, garlic, basil, Italian seasoning and garlic salt to a boil.  Add butter and stir until melted. Reduce heat to low and simmer until the desired thickness, I do mine for about 5-10 minutes.  Serve over pasta, sprinkle with Parmesan cheese and enjoy.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

I am always looking for fast, easy and nutritious meals for my busy weeknight meals.  These wraps have become one of our family favorites.  We serve these with a side of wontons or potstickers to complete the meal. The filling can be made ahead of time and reheated if your day is extra busy. Bibb lettuce is our favorite, but feel free to use iceberg or even romaine for this dish. I hope you enjoy these as much as we do!

Glazed Lemon Loaf Cake

Ever since getting a slice of Lemon Cake from Starbucks a few years back I have been on a quest to find a good copycat recipe.  I've tried several and they were all fine, but this cake is officially the winner.  My search is over! I seriously could not imagine a more perfect lemon cake.   Lemon flavor shines throughout the cake, but the real punch of flavor comes from the delectable glaze. The cake itself is so moist yet fluffy and tender at the same time.  It's like a ray of sunshine on a cold winter's day!

Bakery style Strawberry Muffins

New recipe! Can you even believe it?! Kirsti and I decided we need to get back in the habit of sharing our favorite recipes by sharing at least one a month so here you go:   I’m starting off with these scrumptious strawberry muffins. Extra large and fluffy, these muffins are bursting with strawberry bits and topped with the most delicious strawberry glaze. If you end up with extra glaze, go ahead and drizzle some extra.  No judgement here :)   Even if you already love the previous strawberry muffins on our blog, you need to try these- they are the only ones I'll be making from here on out.  They're that good!
