Y’all! I am so sorry that I have been gone so long! But fear not! I am back and in full force. In fact, I have 4 dinners planned over the next five days to blog about and share. As you may or may not know, I was away due to my work on a political campaign. It was hard work and it some times is even harder when you lose. But, as a friend of mine once told me, no matter what happens, the sun will come up again tomorrow.
So, now what? Well, first on my agenda is getting my act back together. My house has not been the tiddiest lately. My fridge was in need of a cleaning. And, in case you don’t own a calendar, the holidays are coming up fast and furious. This can be both good and bad. Bad because of how busy it gets, but good because the holidays are all about the food. And, in case you did not notice, I kinda LOVE food.
Tonight, I made a recipe from one of my favorite bloggers, Sabrina. This recipe is from her auntie and it is delicious. I don’t know about you, but after eating a bunch of junky fast and processed food (for convenience sake) during the end of the campaign, I am ready to get back into the kitchen and make some yummy homemade food. In fact, I am even shunning jarred pasta sauce. I know! Crazy things are happening out here in the sticks! Hide your kids, hide your wife, ’cause I am making homemade spaghetti sauce!
Don’t be scarred, this recipe is so easy! You can find the entire recipe here: Auntie D’s Bolognese Sauce
All you need: olive oil, onion, ground beef, kosher salt, ground pepper, white wine, flour and a canned whole peeled tomatoes.
Oh, and pasta. Duh!
First, you heat up a chopped medium onion in the hot olive oil.
Then you add the beef. Sprinkle with kosher salt and freshly ground pepper. (Did someone say peppa?!)
Brown the beef.
Add the flour, add the white wine.
Then, add the blended tomatoes.
Cover and cook on low for 60 minutes.
Viola!
Yum. And Colby too!
