Let’s Get Saucy!!!
March is National Sauce Month,so I want to share my favorite sauce recipe (besides Comeback Sauce!!!)which is a delicious Spaghetti Sauce. You know a recipe is well used and loved if it looks like this page! I am a messy cook! I always write in my cookbooks,including when I got it and who gave it to me. Ted gave me this as a Christmas gift in 1980. “Yesterday,Today,and Tomorrow is a collection of recipes from Charles Baddour,who founded the Baddour Memorial Center in Senatobia,MS,a center for adults with intellectual disabilities.
I couldn’t cook when Ted and I married, so I depended on cookbooks,friends,and family for treasured recipes to learn the fine “art” of preparing a meal! This is one of my treasured recipes and my family loves this sauce and I hope you do too! So get Saucy and “Cook from the Heart”!
