Haven't Lived Till Now Spaghetti Sauce

K so you know that saying “You haven’t live until you have done [insert amazing thing]”. Well my friends, I have a few of those for ya today. And they all come from my personal experience and expertise. Pretending of course that I have any. ;)

You have not lived until you have…

 1)      eaten stove popped popcorn

       2)      repelled down a cliff
       3)      jumped off a cliff….please oh please make sure there is deep water, free of boulders at the bottom ;)
       4)      ran, simply put
       5)      held a baby 
       6)      held a baby monkey ;)
       7)      watched the Pixar movie "Up"
       8)      snorkeled over the Great Barrier Reef
       9)      had a lemonade stand
     10)   and last but not least…..you have NOT lived until you have tried my homemade spaghetti sauce

Oh and before we go any further, I totally lied about snorkeling over the Great Barrier Reef. Sorry folks. Maybe one day though. :)

Now, now, you may have a pulse and you may be breathing. But I’m not too sure! Now I will make a deal with you. I can pardon the other 9 requirements of living if you simply do the 10^th one. Once you try it, then I will say you have lived. ;) Sound like a deal?

Ingredients:

  · 5 medium/large tomatoes

      · 2 cloves of garlic
      · 2 tablespoons of apple cider vinegar
      · 2-3 tablespoons of agave nectar (depending on how much sweetness you want to taste)
      ·  1 tsp. dried basil
      ·  ½ tsp. onion powder
      ·  ½ tsp. oregano
      · Sprinkle of black pepper
      · Sprinkle of cayenne pepper
      · Sea salt to taste
      · About 4 oz. of Ground turkey  (I like to use 93/7 lean turkey)

1.Finely chop the tomatoes and place them in a medium sized sauce pan over med-high heat

 2. Mince the garlic and throw them in with the tomatoes

 3. Tomatoes should start to bubble, once this occurs, pour in vinegar and agave nectar

 4. Once vinegar and agave are stirred in, stir in all your seasonings

 5. Wait for approximately 10 minutes

 6. While you are waiting, brown your turkey in a frying pan

 7. Once turkey is cooked thoroughly and most of the liquid in the spaghetti sauce has evaporated, mix turkey in with the spaghetti sauce.

 8. Wait till is has come to the consistency you like

 9. Pour over wheat noodles or spaghetti squash or rice or whatever your pretty little mind desires. :)
