Pizza Sauce

We love this pizza sauce to use as a dipping sauce for pizza rolls. I made a big batch of the spices so I can throw it together faster (scaled to 40, then I use about 2 tsp when I make it up). Adapted from allrecipes.com.

1 8-oz can tomato sauce
3 Tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
1 tsp minced garlic
2 tsp brown sugar
3/4 tsp onion powder
1/4 tsp oregano
1/4 tsp marjoram
1/4 tsp basil
1/4 tsp black pepper (opt)
salt to taste

Mix and let sit for at least 30 minutes to blend flavors.

Limonada (Limeade)

This stuff is amazing! Andy had been looking for an authentic recipe for years, and we finally found this one that is just like he remembers from his mission in Brazil. We served it once when the missionaries were over for dinner, and they asked for the recipe. Later we found out they made it every day! I don't usually drink juice, but this is way too yummy to resist. :)

2 limes
  • 1/2 cup sugar
  • 3 tablespoons sweetened condensed milk
  • 3 cups water
  • ice cubes (for each cup)

  • Wash limes thoroughly. Cut off the ends and slice into eight wedges. Place limes in a blender with the sugar, sweetened condensed milk, and water. Blend, pulsing 5 times. Strain through a fine mesh strainer to remove rinds. Serve over ice (-let it sit a minute or two to cool off before drinking).

Muito gostoso!
