Pizza/Marinara Sauce

I have yet to find a pizza sauce or marinara sauce without added sugar and/or chemicals. Here is my pizza sauce recipe that with a slight tweak works for marinara sauce too. My next recipe will be a pizza casserole using this sauce and the Italian sausage recipe I posted on Monday.

Pizza Sauce

2 quarts Tomato Juice or homemade stewed, pureed tomatoes (avoid canned tomato products and try to buy in glass jars if possible, plastic is better than canned since the canning process heats to 225 degrees, releasing toxic BPA)
1 onion, peeled and cut in half
4 cloves garlic, peeled and cut in half
1 Tbsp dried oregano or 2 drops oregano oil
2 tsp basil or 1 drop basil oil
1.5 Tbsp ground fennel seed (omit fennel for marinara sauce)
Salt to taste

Place all ingredients in a large saucepan. Bring to a boil on medium to medium low heat for several hours. Stir occasionally at first (every half hour or so) and more often as the sauce reduces and thickens (every 5-10 minutes). When the mixture has reduced about halfway, remove the onion and garlic with a slotted spoon. Continue to boil until it is thick enough that when a spoon scrapes across the bottom, the sauce doesn’t run back into the space (see picture for visual). Salt to taste if needed after cooking is complete.

A similar recipe can be made for marinara sauce, just not as thick and hold the fennel.

    • Holiday survival tip #6: Avoid too much alcohol!

Here's some tips on how to not over drink and how to feel better if you do:

1. Eat first
2. Drink a glass of water between each drink. Put it in a wine glass so you still feel festive. Sparkling water counts!
3. To help a hangover, use lemon, fennel, or grapefruit essential oils to help release the toxins that make us sick from hangover.
4. Use Deep Relief or Panaway for the pounding in your head. 
5. Use an antioxidant drink like Ningxia Red to rebalance your body.

Remember to not drink and drive, and have fun out there!

    • Holiday survival tip #5: Use oils to help digest food after over-indulging. 
I use this blend DiGize after every meal that is bound to give me tummy troubles. This stuff is ahhhmazing! I either drink it in a small amount of water or I rub it over my belly.

Don't have the blend? Here are some single oils that are known to help aid in digestion:

Peppermint
Ginger
Anise/fennel
Juniper
Patchouli

So go get your eat on guilt free and simply reach for those oils before or after your meal!

Happy thanksgiving everyone!
