Tomato Sauce
Yes, you can buy tomato sauce in almost any store, so why bother making one of your own? With this homemade sauce you get an amazing opportunity to go to a farmers’ market, shake the hand of the dedicated farmer who brings food to you and then buy some overripe, red and delicious tomatoes.
That impact alone is, in my opinion, transformational.
Bonus points why you need to do tomato sauce – because you can read and understand all the ingredients in it compared to the store bought ones.
