I’m trying to learn to buy groceries, cook for myself again.

Can’t afford to buy and keep produce. Limited cookware. So, any recipe telling me to crush garlic, dice onions, etc, can’t do.

Need budget, ghetto, for people on a fixed income, easy no frills way to make diy tomato paste pasta sauce.

Good suggestions so far. Tks. I have 1 bowl, 1 plate, 1 spoon, 1 fork, 1 butter knife ; 1 small sauce pan; Only stores nearby are corner stores. Hardly any produce. Having to make due with what you can find in a liquor store.

    I have the easiest DIY sauce you can get:

    • 28 oz can of tomatoes (either whole or diced, ived used both)

    • 1 onion cut in half

    • 1/2 stick of butter

    You put them all in a sauce pan on medium heat until it looks like sauce.

      Literally can’t get easier than this. It a perfect base recipe that you can build upon later. Have some meat? Brown it up in some oil then add it to the pot. All I would add to the base recipe is don’t forget to add a bit of salt at the end.
