On A Mission!

Call me crazy but I am on a mission, a quest as were, to duplicate Chef Boyardee pizza sauce.  Here near West Point, I cannot find my beloved pizza sauce and according to their own site, nobody within 50 miles from me has it.  I can order it off Amazon if I want to spend $40.  I am seriously one step away from mailing my mother-in-law a check to send me some from Ohio.  LOL  Is that not insanity?  I am *desperate* for this sauce.  I stood staring at a Chef Boyardee pizza kit for nearly 5 minutes but wasn't about to pay the price just to pitch the dough mix.  Over the past few weeks I've been playing with different sauces of my own creation, all very good but none to that sweet red perfection that is Chef Boyardee.  I am a broken woman.  Hahaha! 

I even searched online on various cooking forums looking for a duplicate copy cat recipe.  Someone had mentioned to try the organic pizza sauce by Muir Glen.  I can safely tell you that Muir Glen sauce is NO where near Chef Boyardee and if you're wanting a "paste" sauce, then that's for you.  It literally had to be scooped out of the can like tomato paste.  It certainly was not the drippy, liquid heaven that is Chef Boyardee pizza sauce.  I'm just too picky I think.  I don't like alot of herbs in it, I most definately don't desire ANY chunks or strands of mushed tomatos.  Everything has to be perfectly thin and lend itself to the drippy, gooey quality of my favorite pizzas.

If anyone out there HAS a close duplicate copy cat recipe for my sauce, please let me know!  I'm fighting pushing the "order" button on Amazon.  LOL

Tonight I am venturing into the United Kingdom's favorite fare - Fish & Chips.  I had ripped a beautiful looking recipe out of Bon Appetit awhile back.  Gorgeous, perfectly cooked fish in batter and boiled then crispy baked red potatoes that are lightly "smashed" before baking.  They look delicious!  Also making Guy Fieri's tequila lime chicken marinade tonight for tomorrow's dinner.  Looks so  so divine that you want to lick the page.  LOL

I hope you all are staying warm wherever you are!  We finally got hit with 6 inches of snow so I'm joining all the rest of you in the Midwest/Northeast who are complaining about enough already and wanting to see spring.  I heard its 22 days till the first day of spring.  Bring it on already!  lol

Good Noshing to you all! ~
