I can't underestimate how fresh this sauce tasted. For such few ingredients the flavor is very robust. My family loved it. When you cook it this way you also know every single ingredient in it. Extremely inexpensive. Great for organic chefs. Yum-o

I'm just a wife and mother of one that lives life to the fullest. I live in the mountains so sometimes if the fridge is low you have to make do with what you have. Sometimes you have all of the ingredients sometimes you have to improvise. I have made some absolutely delicious meals using things you wouldn't expect. I hope you enjoy my recipes as much as we do. We cook on a budget and make things stretch.
