Homemade Marinara Dipping Sauce
By attosa
A lot of store-bought and restaurant marinara dipping sauces have an unusual amount of extra ingredients and high levels of sugar. Make your own at home and control what you put in it. I wanted some marinara sauce today but I only diced tomatoes at the ready. I used a stevia sugar mix in place of the sugar. It did just the trick!

This is my version of Vietnamese Rice Vermicelli and Beef also known as "bun bo hue" made in an instant hot pot!

My husband is a rice lover. So when we cook rice, we will cook the entire bag, usually a 2 lb bag. What we don't use for that particular meal, we store in sandwich bags. The leftovers are stored in the freezer. Since it is just me and my husband, this makes it easier for meal preparation.

This is a relatively simple egg dish that can be modified for anyone's taste. Bacon would have been a wonderful addition.
