Homemade Pizza Sauce (to freeze)
We just love making cauliflower crust pizzas and loading them with our own unique toppings. The sauce can be quite a conundrum though….most brands contain soybean or canola oil! Yuck!
We had an abundance of tomatoes this year, so I decided to forego plain old tomato sauce or sun-dried tomatoes and use them to make homemade pizza sauce that is healthy for my family. Let me tell you, as I was developing this recipe, I was so obsessed with tasting it that there might be a chance that I eat some as soup this winter. It’s that tasty!

Ingredients
- 20 large tomatoes chopped
- 2 organic bell peppers chopped
- 2 large heads of garlic peeled and chopped

- 4 cans organic tomato paste
- 2 Tbsp paprika
