January was a pretty busy month. I made a few special recipes for other people, like The Best Double Chocolate Buckeyes and Coconut & Banana Oat Pancakes. Both of these recipes were really geared more toward B.O.B. Bob than myself. I also made Peanut Butter & Honey Oatmeal Cookies, Vegan Thai Roasted Carrots with Peanuts, Italian Asiago Artichoke Ham & Bean Soup, Sweet Gherkin Pimento Cheese Spread, and Soda Glazed Kielbasa Game Day Bites. All great recipes.
So, which recipe was my favorite? Definitely this Pepperoni & Sausage Pizza Pasta Sauce. I simply loved how meaty this sauce was and it was also crazy versatile. Whether served over pasta or used to make a pizza, this sauce was just all sorts of yummy yummy. The recipe also made enough for me to freeze half of it as well, which means that in another week or two I totally get to experience a yummy yummy do-over.
