A plate of pasta with red sauce can cost less than a dollar if made at home; at most restaurants it will cost you well over $10. My partner used to go through a drive-thru for something almost every day. So why do we eat out so often?

1 cup – diced lean ham (I used the Cure 81 because it was free after coupons). If you don’t have it or can’t get it, no biggie…just use regular salt and pepper to taste. You COULD use a ham hock, but since I like to keep things as light as possible and they are full of saturated fat, I use the lean ham cubes.

Having fresh herbs on hand is a delicious way I like to spice up my cooking at home. Even if you are a beginning gardener, there are plenty of herbs that are easy to grow and have a lot of uses in the kitchen.
