| Simple Tomato Sauce |
You ask, 'how do you eat right?'
It's simple, 'Cook your own food!'
Just get in the kitchen, grab an apron (if you are a sloppy cook) and start cooking! All there is to lose is a small amount of time. You and your family are worth it.
Here's what I suggest you do. Pick a simple recipe and practice it. Let’s choose, tomato sauce.Try one tomato sauce recipe, then try another tomato sauce recipe, try three different tomato sauce recipes (not on the same day).
You will officially have mastered tomato sauce…..learning to cook is that simple. It's like piano lessons, you would not learn to play the piano after just one lesson. To learn to cook takes getting into the kitchen and…..just cook it!
Here are two recipes to get you started.

Tomato Sauce With Sausage
I love cooking with Italian sausage. If you don't like spicy Italian, than by all means purchase mild sausages.
1 tablespoon olive oil
1 pound spicy Italian sausage (squeeze meat out of casings)
1 cup chopped onions
1 large clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoon dried oregano
¼ teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
1 28 oz can crushed tomatoes
1 14 ½ oz can diced tomatoes
Salt and pepper to taste
Heat oil over medium high heat in a heavy saucepan. Add onions and sauté 2 minutes. Add sausage meat and garlic, and sauté until cooked through about 10 minutes. Add oregano, crushed red peppers, and both tins of tomatoes. Bring to a boil, lower and simmer 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add salt and pepper to taste.
