Homemade Cherry Tomato Sauce

If you have a cherry tomato plant overflowing and don’t know what to do with all those maters, this is an awesome options to use them up!  It’s easy, but does require a food processor.
Cherry Tomato Sauce
Ingredients:
cherry tomatoes (enough to fill a sheet pan)
onion, any kind rough chopped
3 cloves garlic, peeled
6 basil leaves (and any herbs you feel like adding)
salt and pepper to taste
Cooking oil of choice
Directions:
Preheat oven to 350F.  Throw your tomatoes, onion, garlic, salt, and oil on a sheet pan and roast until the tomatoes shrivel, which should be about 35 minutes.  In the food processor, add the basil, and add the pan contents once cooled slightly.  Process until smooth.  Add salt and pepper to taste.  Store in the fridge, freeze, or can!

Paleo Crockpot BBQ Chicken

Everyone loves BBQ!  Well, except for me.  I don’t like condiments!  Before you scream at me, hold your breath.  I already know: I’m CRAZY!  However, if the sauce can be cooked into the meat somewhat, then I can actually enjoy it!  When one of my friends at the gym started selling his homemade paleo BBQ sauce, I knew I had to try it.  No better way to try it than an easy crockpot recipe!  I could totally eat this weekly!  To me, the sauce is like a tomato-based BBQ sauce.  If you prefer a sweet BBQ, you could add some coconut sugar.  If you prefer a smoky sauce, try smoked paprika.  If you prefer really spicy, feel free to add some red pepper flakes!  I think this sauce is a perfect foundation for anyone’s taste buds!
If you want to try some of this sauce for yourself, contact Troy Campanello on Facebook and he will hook you up!  He is selling it to raise money to help his wife get up north for a prestigious Crossfit competition that she was invited to compete in alongside only 14 other ladies over 50 who received invites, as well.  AKA It’s kind of a big deal!
