"I love my mom's cooking, it's a fact. Her spaghetti is awesome and this is the only way I make it now. It has lots of veggies in it which I am not a fan of, but they are chopped so small that you basically don't even see them, great for kids who are picky eaters, that's how she got all of us to eat them!"

Brown sausage.

Put vegetables (mushrooms, onions, carrots, zucchini, squash, not all together at once, it won't all fit) in chopper. Convert chopped veggies to pot. Repeat.
Add other cans of sauce to pot. Don't put sausage in right away. Add seasonings. Simmer 20 minutes.
Add sausage. Cook on low or medium for a few hours. (This is the best when it has been simmering almost all day long). Serve with homemade garlic bread. (Sliced bread with butter, minced garlic, and Lawry's garlic salt, toasted in oven).

I am married to a great husband. We do not have any kids yet but have 1 cat and 1 dog. I am a first grade teacher and absoutely love it! I do not really enjoy the process of cooking but I enjoy the finished product so I do it and try to make new and interesting dishes. When I find a recipe I like, it normally becomes part of the dinner rotation. I tend to be pretty picky about the way I cook and the ingredients and tend to find that most people enjoy my recipes and cooking. I am a devoted by the recipe cooker but have gotten much better about adding something new to the recipe the longer that I have been married and the more I have practiced cooking. I hope you enjoy my recipes too.
