I wanted to share this recipe with you because it has come in handy for me and is much cheaper than buying pizza sauce and spaghetti sauce in the jar. And it's quite tasty!
15 ounce can tomato sauce
1 teaspoon oregano
1/2 teaspoon basil
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon garlic powder
1/4 teaspoon onion powder
4 teaspoons tomato paste (I usually add more of this if I'm making the sauce for pizza to thicken it a bit)
Mix together in a bowl and use as needed. It can be frozen too!
Enjoy and God bless ~ Thrifty Gal

And after a long respite....
... I'm back! :) Our last 10 days have been filled with sickness and some stressful situations but things are going better now (Thanks be to God!) and I feel like "reconnecting" with the bloggy world again! I have taken some time to rethink my priorities in life and wanted to post them to my blog to have a written record in the hope of keeping me on track.
My list of Daily Responsibilities (in chronological order):
1. God (including daily devotions and service)
2. Family (includes daily care and uplifting of immediate family, stuff like laundry, cooking & dishes, and weekly correspondence with family members near and far
3. Friends ~ AT LEAST weekly correspondence with close friends by email, telephone, hand-written notes
4. Financial Tracking (including paying bills, budgeting, etc.)
5. Job (Ebay business) ~ currently being replaced by Christmas responsibilities
6. House Work (other than above mentioned daily duties)
7. Blogging
I'm bummed that blogging comes last on the list but I just really feel like the 1st 6 steps need to be completed before the 7th. So I may not be posting every day but will try to post a least a couple times a week :)
I am inspired and encouraged by this paragraph from Lucy Swindoll's Daily Devotions, "There is always enough time to do the will of God. The great thing is to make our planning subject to God's perfect plan, laying our agendas at His feet and asking Him to help us choose wisely. All of us have duties. How gratefully and calmly we carry them out will indicate how we have obeyed Him."
Enjoy your day and God bless ~ Thrifty Gal
