From Scratch With Love

Today I took daughter to breakfast and after church came home and worked on laundry, homework, cleaning up, getting the guest room ready for Tuesday and worked on a home made marinara base to cook with. (Incidentally, I did rearrange the guest room...I can't help myself).

If I talk about cooking from scratch at work, a colleague of mine teases...why?  That's what the jars are for!  Well, because it just tastes better and I got a ginormous new pot for Christmas that took the industrial sized cans of diced tomatoes to fill, not to mention that it creates a whole lot less rubbish, I love to cook.  Besides, I have two families I am making some extra meals for in the next couple of weeks so it will help me help them.  Now I have enough marinara to make lasagne, tomato basil soup, spagetti or other such creations with just a few additions and twists and I feel a certain sense of satisfaction in my heart.  I love to fuss over those I love.  I love to know that it was extra special, because they are too.

So enjoy it from scratch, with love!
