Day One, so far so good. Things seem to be starting well, i haven't been craving anything that i can't/won't eat. Dinner was wonderful, I tried a new recipe for Homemade Spaghetti Sauce tonight and it turned out well. Of course upon learning that it was a new recipe everyone was leery of trying it, i'm pretty sure they all think i'm trying to slowly kill them off (and maybe I was thinking of it but not till they win the Lotto). It was different in taste from what you get out of the colorful Jars in the store but, they all taste different from one another as it is. So here is the recipe if you would like to try it.
Spaghetti & Meat Sauce
makes 6 cups
1lb lean ground turkey
1 medium onion, chopped
28oz can tomatoes (we used whole but you can use any)
1 cup water
1 small tin tomato paste
1/2 tsp garlic powder or 2 cloves chopped garlic (i used a little more because i like extra garlic)
2 bay leaves (remove before serving)
1/2 tsp chili powder
1 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp dried basil
1/4 tsp paprika
1/8 tsp ground cinnamon
1/8 tsp ground cloves
1 cup chopped green pepper, celery, or mushrooms (Fresh mushrooms if you can instead of canned)
1. Brown the ground turkey. Drain off any fat that is left.
2. Add the rest of the ingredients.
3. Bring to a boil, then turn down the heat. Cover and simmer for about 1 hour. Stir every now and then so that the sauce doesn't stick. Add extra water if it gets to thick.
4. Serve and enjoy.
Note: I also included probably 1/4 cup of Parmesan cheese into the sauce probably 10 minutes before it was done. (In doing this i don't put the cheese on top.)
