    I stumbled on to this recipe and HOLY SMOKES! I used to make a pot of sauce on the stove, this has no acidity and is fantastic. I use the leftover sauce for lasagna and my mpther said it was the best lasagna she ever had! Thanks to the sauce!

    Hey Julia, I got to say I absolutely love your recipes. Your my go to girl. Being a single mom it does help a lot. But I also understand your a busy momma to. But out of sheer curiosity is there a way to figure out the nutritional info? I’m trying to watch my weight but I don’t want to stop using your recipes either. Again I understand mom to mom if your busy but that’s why I ask.
