Homemade Tomato Sauce

Although I don't use tomato sauce too much, I had to share this recipe. I recently made a trio of meatballs, including bacon with mozzerella, chorizo with cheddar, and italian sausage with pepperjack.

It's called Flora Tomato Sauce, and it doesn't have many carbs per cup! I decided to use this to create a more ...
