No jarred sauce in the pantry and it is too icky to go get some, so what do I do? Make my own of course!
I had
1 med. onionm chopped
5-6 cloves garlic, diced
1/4 cup or so olive oil
Saute that in large pot until onions are soft, then add the following
3 cans of tomato sauce
1 can petite diced tomato
1 small can tomato paste
1 capful of Mrs Dash Italian seasonings (I'd guess a heaping TBSP)
1-2 tsp sugar
stir all that together, bring to boil, reduce heat, cover and simmer for about an hour.
I threw in about 2 lbs of meatballs before I covered it. We shall see what happens, it smells yummy, but I am not picky like some testosterone carriers I know.......
I've also been baking today. I've used Gluten Free Pantry Sandwich bread mix and a mix from Anna's line of products. I'll let you know how those turn out too! The Gluten Free Pantry Italian bread is yummy, so I have high hopes for the Sandwich bread mix!

I'm a busy mom with 4 growing boys....recently divorced and back to school myself full time to add to the chaos. Gluten Free cooking scares a lot of people, but it shouldn't....I'm hopeful that this blog can help people make the transition a little less scary.

About Me
- Jen
- I'm the mother of 4 boys.....from high school graduate to elementary school, 10 year span from oldest to youngest. Recently divorced, back to school full time, was a stay at home mom for 15 years. Diagnosed with Rhuematoid Arthritis in 1999, Gluten Allergy/Celiac in 2005. Have not had an RA flare up since going GF!!! There isn't enough money in the world to make me eat gluten!
Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.....
1. I babble. A lot. In real life and in cyber space. Sorry, it is just is who I am and I'm not likely to change that about myself anytime soon.
2. My recipes are usually a mish mash of more than one that I have 'tweaked'. So just beware if you follow one of my recipes. I rarely make the exact same thing twice, there is usually some variant. Play, have fun, it's food, enjoy it!!!
3. Cooking times on all my recipes are approximations. I rarely set a timer. I've gotten better at setting the timer as life has gotten crazier, but I still like to burn things on occasion, just to keep everyone on their toes. Plus it's a good excuse to open the windows and air out the house.
4. I have picky boys. Your boys might not like the taste, texture, color of some of my recipes, but my boys do and that is all I can strive for. Sorry, I can't make everyone happy, I just do what I can to keep my crew on the go.
5. If you have something I need to try, some tweak you have made, some bad outcome, let me know.....I like to change things up and may not have tried what you have tried.
6. Cooking is an experiment. You have to be able to fail and just have fun. If the crust is bad, then eat the filling, if the filling is bad then eat the crust, and if the whole thing is bad, well, just open a bottle of wine and tell the kids to make soup.
7. Always remember, Blessed are we who can laugh at ourselves for we shall always be amused.......

Love the spaghetti sauce recipe - looks divine! What brand of canned tomato products do you use that are gluten-free? My favorite is Hunts and they won't guarantee it to be GF. Thanks for sharing all your wonderful recipes! So many to try.
