This week I took a trip to the natural grocery store and my kids were craving pizza! Pizza? Out of all of those amazing foods they wanted pizza! Well, some battles aren’t worth fighting over so I decided this night we would make a nice homemade sauce and make some individual whole grain English muffin pizzas. This way, everyone could choose their own toppings and be happy.
I love making my own sauces, especially when there is extra and you can make some extra for another day. This recipes makes enough sauce for 3 pizzas, use one right away and freeze the other two for when your kids have a craving for pizza.

Have you ever made your own pizza sauce? What do you add? I’m always looking for new variations on an old favorite!
This recipe is so simple! Way easier than I thought it would be. I’m excited to try it.
It is simple! I had originally thought it would be more complicated too but it’s pretty much fail-proof, lol!
