For this very special recipe, I used my canned tomatoes from this past summer. This is an outstanding marinara sauce that I completely could eat without anything except a spoon. I did however; use some fociacca bread topped off with this sauce and it was fabulous. There was no sauce left after my family got through and only a couple bites of bread. I followed this exactly, the garlic, the wine, the spices ~ especially the red chili powder, crushed pepper flakes, and paprika. Oh how we loved this. Will be making this many times and looking forward to the summer when I can make loads of it! Thank you Junebug, *Aussie Swap* 2008

I am a wife, Mother and Grandmother. I am a native Texan and can't imagine living anywhere else. My Grandmother taught me to cook before I could see the top of the counter. I remember standing on a stool in her kitchen learning to make pancakes. My Mother loved to cook and it seems she was cooking (or cleaning) most of the time. So those are the two ladies responsible for nurturing my love of cooking!

As you can see I cook and review recipes more than I post them. That's because I am a pinch of this and a dollop of that cook and it's hard to put those recipes down on paper.
