We love to make tomato sauce — we use a can 28 oz can of Cento San Marzano peeled tomatoes. Or, when it‘s tomato season in late summer, we’ll use tomatoes from our garden. Start by heating 4-5 tablespoons of olive oil in a small pot over medium high heat. When heated, bloom a large pinch of red pepper flakes and 2 cloves, finely minced fresh garlic in the oil for a minute or two. Then add the can of tomatoes. Heat tomatoes to a simmer, stirring occasionally — it takes just a few minutes. Salt to taste. While it’s heating, cut fresh basil leaves (as much as looks good to you) and add just before serving.
We love to make this with the kids because they get to interact with the different, fragrant ingredients and measurements aren’t super critical for it turning out great. They love to eat it on noodles, whole wheat pita as pizza, or as a dip with focaccia or another yummy bread.

Rollup pancakes. We put jam on them or fruit or butter. Basically we treat them almost like crepes. But they are jam packed full of protein, which I love! They also freeze surprisingly well, although it’s rare, that I have enough leftovers to freeze. https://www.melskitchencafe.com/rollup-blender-pancakes/

I love making pizza with the kids. I make the dough earlier in the day and then they love spreading it out and adding all the sauce and toppings. It’s a decent bit of work (and a bit more cleanup) but it’s a fun project for a weekend afternoon! I use this recipe for pizza dough: https://cooking.nytimes.com/recipes/1016230-robertas-pizza-dough
