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.

Chicken Salad Sandwiches with Fruit and Almonds

Chicken salad sandwiches seem to be the go to item for baby and bridal showers.  I wanted to make some for the baby shower, but had a dillema.   While I like the main components in the salad, I really do not like the taste of raw onions and celery.  However, I still wanted some crunch and flavor in the salad.

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!

Best Ever Chocolate Chip Cookies

The name says it all. These cookies are my (and my husband's) favorite cookies! Not just your average chocolate chip cookies, these babies come out of the oven with a slightly crisp outside while still remaining soft on the inside. Use Ghiradelli Milk Chocolate Chips and you will have achieved chocolate chip cookie perfection!
