Ingredients
2 1/2 C steamed carrots, 1/3 C steamed beets, 2/3 C Water, 3 Tbsp Lemon juice, 1 1/2 tsp Salt, 1 Tbsp Basil (leave out for Chili),1/2 tsp Onion Powder, 1/8 tsp Oregano, 3/4 C chopped, cooked onions (I use dried flakes but not this much), 1 clove minced Garlic.

Directions
Steam carrots and beets until tender. Brown onion & garlic together. Measure all ingredients into a blender and blend until smooth. Add cooked ground meat or meatballs for spaghetti sauce. Or use as is for pizza sauce. Omit Basil for Chili and use as you would normally. It freezes nicely in a canning jar. Remember to allow about an inch at the top and tighten jar lid after sauce freezes.


garlic more onion and spices.

I use pesto a lot.  Just get some basil, garlic cloves, olive oil...and add nuts if you want...and grind it all up to a paste.  I freeze it in ice cube trays and put the cubes in a bag.  Really easy to just grab a frozen cube to put under your hot noodles.

Another idea is to just use a good olive oil, maybe a bit of ground sheep's milk romano or something.  Or a bit of soft goat cheese.  Or, saute up some onions and garlic in olive oil, add some ben/neutral mushrooms, and/or some greens, and toss that with the pasta.  It's so good too.

My favorite salad dressing is this: 2-3 parts walnut oil, 1 part lemon or lime juice, 1-2 T crushed garlic, 1-2 T shredded ginger root, 1-2 tsp powdered mustard seed, wheat-free tamari to taste. I like my dressing on the sour side. I make up a big batch and keep it in the fridge so it's ready when I am.

When I used to work out of the house, I would take 1-2 ounces with me in a small jar. It'll keep fine for a few hours without being refrigerated.

I like to use walnut oil instead of olive oil because it doesn't solidify in the cold and I don't have to wait for it to liquify.

tahini is so yummmy...but it is an acquired taste! make sure you get the roasted....the raw is quite bitter. and don't forget to salt it (I like tamari-wheat free) it is great with noodles, just a T. of tahini stirred into hot noodles (like soba) with a bit of the cooking water (2T.) and a splash of tamari!!!
