This is an easy cooking week as we all prepare for the start of school. In our home, Betsy's gone at band camp all week (and was gone last week as well, so we're all getting tired...) so we're going as simple as possible at home while she eats all the frozen meals we put away earlier in the month. As always, we'll spend some weekend time chopping a bunch of fresh veggies for quick-grab snacks and lunches during the week.

This is a very quick, easy, and satisfying meal for any time of year.

Our 7-year-old has begged to make these since discovering the in the school cafeteria ... and after making them at home she said ours are better!

We love this as a pasta sauce, pizza sauce, dip for grilled chicken or sauce for vegetables. If you want to avoid garlic breath after the meal, lightly cook the garlic before adding it to the recipe.
