Technically this is a bit of a cheat when it comes to making caramel sauce so I would not say it technically fulfills my Foodie Bucket List. Still! This sauce is fairly easy, fast and perhaps a little salty caramel sauce. Why salty? The original recipe calls for brown sugar and I knew that it […]
Foodie Bucket List: My First Ragù Sauce
I thought the perfect thing to top my first polenta with would be my first ragù sauce. That way I would get to check off TWO items from my Foodie Bucket List. What is ragù exactly? “Ragù is a class of Italian pasta sauces made with ground or minced meat, vegetables and, occasionally, tomatoes.” Sounds do-able! I turned […]
