Sooo... spaghetti sauce is now... orange?
I used the Vitamix to put together some sauce and was just winging it. My goal is to use the whole food of whatever I throw in there. Turns out not seeding/scraping down tomatoes is going to take away from the red color of the sauce.
Needless to say, we had orange sauce today. :) I threw in leftover cherry tomatoes and two whole beefsteaks, a clove of garlic, a tblsp or two of olive oil, oregano and pepper to make the sauce. I didn't really cook it. I had a pound of grassfed beef browning off on the stove and threw it on top after I turned the heat off just to warm it a bit. So, without the meat it would have been raw. For noodles, run some zucchini over a mandoline and zap in the microwave for a few seconds (about 45) just to soften a bit.
The kids didn't really say much about the sauce, which was nice. I might throw a date or two in to sweeten it a bit next time. I could tell it was a bit tart for the kids.
Alright - I am off to read my new "cook"books. I am a bit tired. WOD today was a fun one and has me a bit sleepy early tonight. I will say, I've been feeling so good lately, when I got home I almost bundled up and went for a run. Sitting here now, I'm glad I didn't b/c I am zapped. Since I'm 1/2 way through the challenge and have (mostly) everything under control, I will probably add a couple of runs in-between workouts over the next few weeks.
Time to start spiking the activity to shave off a few more pounds.
