    The Game of War

    While we were on vacation outside of Seattle on San Juan Island, Henry and I started to play a game of War together. It has been a personal dream of mine to have children with whom to play board and card games. I love games!

    I’m finally going to do it! I’m finally going to can something. 
    I talked about it last year or the year before. But then life got in the way–per usual! 
    I ordered this canning kit from Amazon and these jars. They are only one cup serving sizes because we don’t need that much pizza sauce at once. I think the cup size will be the perfect amount. We eat easy homemade pizza once a week or once every other week. I simply smother pizza sauce on naan bread and add toppings like broccoli and mushrooms. #quickdinnersforworkingmoms
    I found a recipe that does not require me to peel the tomatoes.
