Bolognese is another sauce that reminds me of my childhood. At least once a month, my mom would make it for us. To me, it was a delicious delight, but to her it was a money saver. Sauce, meat, herbs, & spices. Simple, but oh so good.

I order it a lot, when I go out. But as with a lot of stuff, I wanted to make it myself. Combining different recipes found online, I came up with this recipe, along with my wife. This is the recipe that we agreed upon.

We hope that you like it as much as we do. #mycookbook

Enjoy!

Since I was a kid, I remember sitting in the kitchen to watch and/or help my parents. As I grew up, I decided to try their recipes and experiment with different recipes. Some were very good and I re-make them all of the time. Others? Yeah, I never tried them again. All of the recipes that I post are the very good ones.Also, while growing up, my pops suffered from high blood pressure, so my mom stopped adding sodium. Since that is how I was raised, all of the dishes that I post do not have any extra sodium added to it. A lot of friends and family who try my recipes, either do not notice nor miss it. But in no way am I saying not to add salt if you use my recipes. If you want to add it, then go for it.In closing, I hope that you enjoy my recipes. If you use any, then please post pictures. Enjoy!
