I am lucky. I feel lucky every day. My Baby had a very rough start in life and spent more than 7 weeks in the hospital after being born but once she got home it was easy. Well, not really easy but in comparison to all the weeks in the NICU it felt much better. I went back to cooking almost right away after we got home and I haven’t stopped since. Of course there are days when she has meltdowns and tantrums; there are still nights when she doesn’t sleep; there are weeks when she refuses to eat more than a spoonful of anything. But overall I am lucky as I get to cook and photograph and blog with her by my side. At first she was sleeping in her little bouncy chair right next to me in the kitchen while I chopped and stirred and cooked. As she got bigger she moved to her high chair watching me carefully from this new and unusual vantage point. Lately, as she’s becoming more and more mobile, she’s sitting on the floor next to my working surface, playing with my measuring cups (best toy ever!), opening her mouth eagerly when I give her a piece of tomato or a slice of cucumber. I talk to her when I cook sometimes: this is an onion, this is a carrot, this is garlic. Sometimes she looks up with curiosity but most often she ignores me. I look forward to her standing on a chair in the near future and helping me while I chop and stir and cook.

A few months ago when Baby went through a phase of refusing any solids, in desperation I gave her a piece of lasagna that I just made. Surprisingly, she gobbled it all up without any teeth and asked for more. After a few weeks of experimenting it turned out that she loves pasta sauces! Since then I’ve been looking for ideas on how to incorporate pasta sauce into recipes that aren’t just pasta. As it turned out, it’s extremely easy and delicious. As a stay at home mom I don’t have access to a car during the week, so I have to rely on the stores that are within walking distance from my home. Over the past year I’ve been going to Walmart a lot and I love their Great Value line of products. Great Value Onion and Garlic Pasta Sauce is chunky and you can taste the ingredients; it’s fresh and delicious and, most importantly for me, not very salty. I find that a lot of pasta sauces have too much salt, but this particular kind doesn’t have salt listed as one of its first ingredients, so that’s a plus. Great Value Four Cheese Pasta Sauce is smooth and creamy, made with ricotta, Parmesan, Romano, and provolone cheese, it’s perfect for dipping. Baby liked both but she preferred the chunkier Onion and Garlic sauce.

First recipe I tried was Powerhouse Pizza Rollups. I have to confess, it was my first time using refrigerated crescent rolls dough and I loved it! It was so satisfying hearing the packaging lightly pop and the dough spill out. The recipe comes together really easy and I can totally see how Baby would love helping me making these Pizza Rollups in the future. It’s so easy: slice bell pepper into thin strips, crumble some feta, unroll the crescent rolls and assemble. A little bit of the delicious Great Value Four Cheese Pasta Sauce, a few spinach leaves, cut up bell peppers and feta. Roll, bake, and serve with more sauce! Baby was super curious about the sauce and loved the rollups. She shoved the whole thing into her mouth and sat there happily, not even able to chew at first.

The next day I made Shakshouka Goes to Italy. This recipe for eggs poached in tomato sauce was on my list to make for a few years yet I never got around to it as making tomato sauce from scratch always seemed like overkill for such a supposedly simple meal. This time around I used Great Value Onion and Garlic Pasta Sauce as the base for the Shakshouka. I sautéed some chopped onion and bell peppers, added the pasta sauce and brought the mixture to boil. I then added the eggs to the pan and cooked for a few more minutes. Original recipe called to serve this with chopped basil but I prefer parsley so I used that herb instead. It was delicious!!! An extremely easy and very satisfying meal, it’s perfect, not just for breakfast or brunch, but also for a light and quick dinner. I will definitely be making this recipe again and again. The best part is with Great Value Onion and Garlic Pasta Sauce it’s also a very inexpensive recipe to make.

I am also looking forward to trying Great Value Alfredo Pasta Sauce as Alfredo sauce is my secret indulgence. I am eyeing the recipe for Cheesy Chicken Nachos as it sounds quite easy and nachos are one of my favourite snacks!

    What a doll she is!! And I know what it’s like finding a food your picky eater will eat, and then serving it at every meal in all sorts of ways … sigh. Thank goodness my daughter grew out of that.

    Great Valu foods are really good, I’ve used them for years … nice to see one of their sauces featured!

    Great ideas! Love the fact that the sauces aren’t salty. This is usually a dela breaker for store-bought sauces. Would love to try shakshuka one day. And the pizza rolls too! Is it possible to make these pizza rolls ahead of time and freeze, and then bake straight from frozen?

      Hmmm… Not sure about baking from frozen. I think it should work fine, you might need to increase baking time a little bit.
