    For those of you that may be suffering with food allergies, let me give you a few encouraging words. First, try different variations of the food. For instance, if you're allergic to apples, try a different kind or try cooking them!

    My husband worked with a guy who had to cook his fruit in order to be able to tolerate it, so there could be a way to eat what you love!

    For things like butter or eggs or anything packaged, you might consider trying a different brand.

    Changing brands and types and even what you eat on a regular basis can help very much with food allergies.

    The body also gets different nutrients this way, and if something is bothering you, it can be easier to figure out what it is.

    I'll even change brands of supplements regularly to keep my body 'on it's toes', so to speak.

    That's just my two cents on allergies. 🙂

    Fresh tomato sauce for pasta or pizza

    I've made today's recipe countless times lately as a topping for my Red Lentil Pizza Crust and for mixing in with zoodles. For that reason alone, I knew I wanted to post it here.

    It's so easy, and it seems to agree with me better than boxed or canned tomato sauce right now.

    Depending on what fresh herb I have on hand is what I'll add for extra flavor, but the base of olive oil, garlic, and Roma tomatoes is simply divine!

    I think the secret is in the slow cooking of the sauce, as it breaks down the tomatoes and really lets the flavors blend.

    Sometimes the simplest things are the best, and this recipe is no exception!
