Bottled sauces can sneak in loads of sugar, sodium, and artificial colors and flavors. Check the labels in your pantry . . . the ingredients might surprise you.
There are some brands doing a great job, but you will definitely pay for the higher quality ingredients.
I found myself having an even more difficult time when I found ingredients like garlic and onion caused me tummy trouble and all the “sensitive tummy” recipes were loaded with sugar to make up for those flavors.
Can’t I have the best of both worlds? I needed no sugar, no artificial ingredients, no inflammatory oils, and no garlic or onion to upset my digestive system. So I made a recipe that should meet everyone’s needs . . . and still taste great – kid tested and approved!
