Homemade Meatballs & Pasta Sauce

Fresh food is something that really appeals to me. Knowing that I have made something from scratch makes meals taste even better. Sometimes, I opt for the easy option; jarred sauces, cans and pre-cooked meals…but I am trying to make the most of using the ingredients we already have in our cupboards. This way I know exactly what has gone into my dish.

The following recipe is for easy homemade meatballs and pasta sauce. This isn’t out of a book or from a website. I just put a few ingredients together that we already had and it tasted lovely!

I had been confused in the baking aisle many times as I just couldn’t find what I wanted and then gave up 😦 I made some buns using a ready mix but they didn’t taste like my baking so I didn’t like them!

The first thing I wanted to bake were these Peppermint frosted fudge brownies. The recipe appeared to be straight forward and it was! The brownie mixture came together perfectly and it was lovely to smell a homemade mixture. Yes, there is a difference between homemade and shop bought mixture smells!
