Im a pretty good cook myself. I try to do everything from scratch too; sauces, marinades...etc
I make a delicious mushrooms Osso Bucco - it's my favorite dish without a doubt !

My Lamb Racks in a nut crust is also one of my specialty dishes !
Spaghetti sauce is a basic - you have to know how to make a good real italian sauce.
I have one meat sauce recipe and another one with meatballs - simply delicious !!
When I do spaghetti sauces like that, I do a huge batch and freeze most of it.
It's easy and simple when you don't know what to eat one night.
Ok..im hungry now!
