Since Nate and I took our trip to Portland, I've been dying for a delicious margherita...pizza. So after searching for a bit on google, I found what I was looking for. I made my own sauce and it was to DIE for! The recipe for the sauce is;
1 can (8oz) Of crushed tomatoes*
(I used whole peeled stewed tomatoes and crushed them myself.)
One clove of garlic (not the whole bulb) crushed
2 Table spoons of olive oil
1/4 teaspoon of red pepper*
(I used cayenne and it was a bit too spicy, so just a pinch of cayenne next time.)
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
Here's after! YUMMY!

1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
Combine all this in a sauce pan and bring it to a simmer. Let it simmer for 10-15 or until sauce thickens. At desired consistency take off heat and slather it on the pizza crust. This makes enough sauce for a 14 in pizza. After that stick slices of fresh mozzarella on it and slices of meat (any sort of pork is best), I used canadian bacon because I couldn't find pork shoulder. Next place fresh basil on top (I couldn't find basil so I used spinach, it worked just as well).
Here is the before

Here's after! YUMMY!As Nate pointed out as we placed everything on top, put the majority of your toppings away from the middle. As the pizza cooks everything will melt into the middle, so you don't need a lot in the middle. This pizza was amazing, and the sauce really made it!
In other news, the kids are great. My little man is 0ne, I can't believe how fast this year went by! He is always smiling and really brings me a lot of joy. Sadie loves him and him her. Sadie is doing great in pre-school and is so excited to start pre-school this fall. We now have a great Dane named Bruce. He is awesome, except when he breaks into the chicken coop to see what they are eating. He leaves the chickens alone, but he wants to eat the goodies I give them. The kids love him and so do Nate and I, so we'll keep him! Well, that's all for now...should probably post Christmas stuff on here...meh. I'll do it next year ;-) Happy blogging!
