I am bringing mini quiches and the ingredients for s'mores. I found organic graham crackers on sale for only a few cents more than the regular brand and I bought Ghirardelli chocolate bars instead of Hershey's for about the same price. However, I couldn't find natural marshmallows {sigh} and so I had to buy the regular kind. I know it is for a crowd and most people that will be indulging don't even care, BUT I DO!
Anyway, I will steer away from my rant for a moment and onto my tomato sauce. It is my hubby's absolute favorite tomato sauce. He actually will eat it plain, like, by itself. I have always made it with canned tomatoes, but recently I learned that the inside of the cans are coated with a product that contains Bisphenol A (aka, BPA). So, that is now out of the question. I made it using fresh organic tomatoes. It turned out just a great!
