"I have been making this sauce since I was a CHILD. My mother used to make a similar version and I would experiment until I came up with my own version. Again nothing spectacular, but I have to say it's the best sauce I have ever tasted!"

Hi.. I'm Theresa...and I'm a SAHM in Chicago with three girls. And ALL three girls have very different tastes. I have one who won't eat simple foods like french fries, cheese pizza, mashed potato, corn dogs, etc. BUT she likes elaborate salads, feta cheese, veggie stuffed pizza, hot sauce on everything (especially things she doesn't like so she can eat them) Shrimp, spicy mexican dishes, etc. anything that you would never imagine a kids liking! AND my other two (the older and the youngest) only eat the basics and it's like pulling teeth to try something new. Spaghetti, child mac, meat loaf, mac and cheese, beef brisket sandwiches, grilled steak or cheeseburgers, beef stew, cream cheese chicken, beef stew or chicken parmesan. That is about all I can make to appease everyone. (I have started ordering from Market Day at our school, and some of the preparred meals like tortilla crushed tilapia is actually a favorite here..so that is a big help) I really like this website and have found some spectacular recipies that have become a part of my regular routine!
