TIS, tell your daughter I'm ashamed of her!! LOL
Sauce can be time consuming, but when the kids were little, I would make a HUGE pot of sauce on Sunday and freeze containers. Not only did I have homemade sauce, but it was convenient to have it there when I got home from work. It was perfect to defrost the sauce, boil some pasta, throw together a salad, and have a home-cooked meal in 15 minutes!
My mom taught me, too. My husband joked around that he wouldn't marry me until I could make sauce as good as my mom's. At least, I think he was joking.....
