About


There' nothing like making your own spaghetti sauce. I love to meld the flavors myself, cooking the sauce for hours in my slow cooker. 
I use shredded veggies, and very lean beef, so I can keep the calories in check. I top whole wheat spaghetti with this slow cooked sauce, and the flavor is fantastic, but the calories reasonable.
