“From the Memory Chest” While looking through my recipe files, I found this one from November 2019. I made this recipe in Chile during some wonderful months we spent there.

Hello everyone…hoping the weekend was a good one. It’s Monday, the beginning of a new week and hopefully a good one for everybody. This weekend was quite warm. sunny and just lovely to be outside. When I mean outside I just sat in the garden and caught up on some reading material on food blogging of course, and some other things that I needed to catch up on. I did a bit of gardening 🙂 and I just wanted to thank Luda from Plants and Beyond, for her advise in regards to adding coffee grinds into my small garden it was spot on! 🙂 All my herbs and salads flourished these past weeks, and we were able to have home grown lettuce in our salads!! hooraayyyy 🙂 Just fantastic!! I also planted Broccoli, this has become huge I am not sure if my little garden will be able to hold it. 🙂This is a Greek dish…with ingredients that I am hoping would exist in everyones fridge. I know that Carrots and Peas may not be the first choice for lunch or dinner, but if you add tomatoes and a bit of tomato paste well I am sure you will be going back for more. 🙂 It is truly a very simple recipe just a few steps and you’ve got a delicious and healthy meal for lunch or dinner or even a side dish.. 🙂

This is one of the most popular comfort food in Vietnam. You can have it any season of the year. Easy and reasonable price meal as well

Simmer beef slices to create a sauce that pairs well with pasta or rice. This time, I've mixed it with macaroni for added volume.The origin of this recipe: I created a sauce by slowly cooking beef slices in tomato sauce, which goes well with both pasta and rice. Whole mushrooms are the key ingredient.

A lot of people think of pasta as a go to meal, but cooking gnocchi is faster, so this could be your new go to dinner :)

Looking for a garden fresh sauce for spaghetti squash dinner. Found this. Really tasty.

This is a pretty basic sauce that's easy to make. Adding the blended basil leaves at the end adds a good fresh taste.

Every now and then, I love to make tomato sauce. Not to brag, but I do make a good sauce. To everyone, except my son. My dad would get bread to dip into the pot that I used to make my sauce. My son? He would say, "Mmmmm! Delicious!" That was it, he would not want any more of it.I took the chance to make my sauce in the slow cooker and boy did it pay off. Even my son loved it. That was it for me. I am sold on making my sauce in the slow cooker. He could not get enough of it and that convinced me to keep making it in the slow cooker.For the sauce, you can use any can of sauce that you wish to use. Whether it be crushed, whole tomato, pureed, sauce, it all works in this recipe.For this recipe, I used tomato puree and sauce. I usually use crushed tomatoes and sauce, but I thought that I would keep the pieces of tomato to a minimum for my son. Pure Genius!We cooked it for 8 hours and it was perfect, but you can cook it for 6 hours instead. Either way, at the halfway point, stir the sauce, put the lid back on the pot, and cook for the remaining time.You can also use fresh herbs & spices and cloves of garlic. It will really give this recipe a nice flavor punch. I hope that you like this sauce as much as my family & friends do.Enjoy!

I wanted to make something simple and delicious using some parchment paper, so I thought up this recipe.If you don't have any parchment paper, put it in a heatproof dish and wrap with plastic wrap. Recipe by Hitomi

I had lots of canned tomatoes, so I used ingredients on hand to make this dish.Depending on the amount of grated cheese, you can make this a light or a rich-tasting dish. Recipe by Minaichigo
