Sauces...freezer style!

Amazing Marinara Sauce- you will never buy store-bought sauce again.

This recipe makes 6 jars of sauce with 6 servings per jar. Each jar (I like the the ziploc 4 cup jars) is filled with about 3 cups of sauce. 36 servings total.

2 (6oz) can tomato paste

2 chopped onions

16 garlic cloves chopped

2 TBS olive or veggie oil

4 tsp sugar

3 tsp dried basil

2 tsp dried oregano

2 tsp pepper

1 tsp salt

Place all ingredients in crock pot and cook for 8-10 hours on low. When cool place in jars.

My New Years slumber

Who will be staying up to ring in the new year? Usually the only way my lids would stay open is if I propped them up on a pair of toothpicks. However, this year I will have to try. Especially after Hubby's "Your sometimes boring" comment.

Ha! I'll show him!!
