    Does anyone make their own tomato/pasta sauce? I tried making my own and I sorta like it but its missing something!! It could just be the salt, and if so thats ok...some recipes I read added sugar, I didnt do that I wonder if thats it? Here is what I used:

    Organic tomato puree (low sodium)
    Sauteed diced onion, green and yellow bell pepper and fresh garlic and added to sauce
    oregeno.

    Any suggetions to make it better? Could it be the sugar I am missing?

    You need sugar to cut the acid of the tomato.

    I would NEVER add sugar to pasta sauce.....that is one of the advantages to making your own vs store bought is that it is pure....

    I have been making my own sauce since I was a teenager, being Italian, it came pretty natural.....I even jar for friends....never add sugar....

    You could try adding some parm cheese, black pepper, and also, meat makes a good taste to the sauce, like stewing beef, or hot italian sausage....

    That sounds good!!
    Made these today for brunch, very good! Im not sure if it needs the stevia, it gave it a funky aftertaste.

    Cream Cheese Pancakes
    Ingredients:

    2 oz cream cheese
    2 eggs
    1 packet stevia sweetener
    1/2 teaspoon cinnamon (optional)

    Put all ingredients in a blender or magic bullet. Blend until smooth. Let rest for 2 minutes so the bubbles can settle. Pour 1/4 of the batter into a hot pan greased with butter or pam spray. Cook for 2 minutes until golden, flip and cook 1 minute on the other side. Repeat with the rest of the batter. Serve with sugar free syrup (or any syrup of your choice) and fresh berries. A surprisingly satisfying substitute for the real thing. Tastes like skinny fried cheesecakes! Even if you aren't watching your carbs these are a delicious departure from the traditional doughy stack of pancakes. And you won't have the sleepy feeling that usually comes afterwards!
