A Little 21 Day Fix Italian!

I'm so excited that my blog has been getting so much action! I've had quite a few view so far! Anyways, I am VERY excited to announce that I've lost 10 LBS THIS WEEK! Woooohooo. I've been working so hard its nice to know its paying off. I will admit after working so much this weekend on top of my mom duties there were a couple of times just ordering some pizza crossed my mind. BUT I resisted the urge and decided to make my own 21 Day Fix Variation of pizza! Oh man its yummy too! Who else struggles with falling victim to the convince of to go orders? BE STRONG. 

Here is the recipe! OH and I use 1 green container per serving ;)

• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

• 4 cloves garlic (smashed)

• 2 28 oz. Can crushed organic tomatoes. (Check label for no added ingredients)

• 1 6 oz. Can tomato paste (organic for best taste. Check label for no added ingredients)

Directions

• STEP 1: Heat olive oil in large skillet

• STEP 2: Chop red onion finely and press/chop garlic

• STEP 3: Sweat over low heat until onions are translucent. Don't let them get brown!

• STEP 4: Add italian seasoning, basil, and pepper. Sauté for a minute or so.
