We eat too much meat (especially here in Slovenia) and the usuall 'meat with something on the side' prevails. Pasta is cheap, and wholegrain pasta is also not too expensive.
For starters I will post a basic tomato sauce recipe, which is probably familiar to many.
Ingredients (2 persons):
1 can tomatoes (400 g - cca. 100 SIT)
1 small onion
1 clove garlic
Herbs (basil, oregano, marjoram , bay leaf, parsley - just one or a combination, according to wishes and taste)
Oil (preferably olive oil)
Salt, pepper
This is very simple. Chop the onion and fry it on some oil. Add chopped garlic and briefly fry. Add the tomatoes (you can chop them in the can with scissors or a knife). If you are using dried herbs add them now. Season with salt and cook for 20-30 minutes. At the and add fresh herbs (if using) and a splash of olive oil.
Pour the sauce over pasta or rice, serve as a dipp (add chilly sauce to taste).
You can vary the sauce in many ways. If you have any good ideas, please share them.
Next time I will write about herbs.

What happened to your blog? I saw it a while ago and thought of you when I ran across the House Party website. HouseParty.com is sponsoring a Healthy Holiday House Party from the Lumenos Plan. The idea is that thousands of partygoers across the country will celebrate holiday eating on December 2nd. They ask you to gather your friends and family in your home for tasty potluck parties. Then you sample nutritious spins on traditional dishes, set diet-changing goals, swap recipes, stories, and healthy eating tips. Apparently you can also score some exclusive special offers!
If you are selected to host a Healthy Holiday party, you have access to a personal party website, which allows you to send invites, share recipes, get expert nutritional advice, upload pictures and videos, and work with your fellow partygoers to make a special party cookbook!
