The Frugal Girl put out a
challenge to try one new recipe a week. With all of the cookbooks I have (not counting the pins and magazines), I definitely need to do this. The first recipe I tried is a
crockpot marinara sauce from
Mom on a Mission. I have made small batches of marinara sauce. This one was very easy. I opted to add in some extra veggies. I had zucchini in the freezer and mushrooms and bell pepper in the refrigerator.
I added everything into the crockpot and let it cook as directed. I did leave it in the refrigerator overnight where it thickened up nicely. I used this in the spaghetti pies I made earlier in the week and had three bags to add to the freezer. This was so much better than bottled sauce. It was a bit of work up front but worth it in the end. I will use this recipe again and again.

I love making my own spaghetti sauce, especially when I have lots of canned tomatoes from my garden. I also add every vegetable under the sun--mushrooms, peppers, celery, onion--whatever I've got. Because I did not can last summer, I am running a little low on those, so I am using more jars of sauce from the store. It's not the same, but we are making out. I'm glad yours turned out so well.
