As we sit on the plane in Florida getting ready to take off to head home, I'm already beginning to think about the coming weeks. I'm so excited to start the new Core de Force and dive into the meal plan for this program. I haven't gotten my book yet but I've heard this plan is different so I'm super excited!!
I've also been reading a little bit about carb cycling. As I figure that out I'll keep you all updated too! I think it sounds great but I need to keep researching it for me and my fam. I feel like carbs are my biggest struggle so if I can find a plan where I can still eat them and not have my stomach blow up that would be amazing!! For now I'm going to stick to the specific plan for Core de Force though.
I wanted to share with you our homemade spaghetti sauce today. It's so easy to make and so good. The best part though is that you can freeze it for another time! Plus it's sugar free!!
Ingredients
1½ pounds ground beef/turkey
3 teaspoons minced garlic
2 cans (29 oz each) tomato puree
1 can (14.5 oz each) petite diced tomatoes, with juice
¾ cup water
2 teaspoons salt
2 teaspoons lemon juice
2 Tablespoons olive oil
2 teaspoons oregano
2 teaspoons basil
1 teaspoon thyme
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper (optional)
Instructions
In a large saucepan, brown the ground beef/turkey along with the garlic. Drain.
Add in the rest of the ingredients and bring to a low boil, stirring often. Once the sauce is heated through and at a low boil, reduce the burner temperature to low and simmer uncovered for 45 minutes.
Use immediately or put into freezer safe containers to use when ready. I generally put in in the refrigerator the night before I'm going to use it and then it is almost all the way thawed and ready to reheat on the stove.
This works perfectly for spaghetti or lasagna and makes dinner quicker to make! Enjoy!
