The NSA is No Salt Added. I am on a low sodium diet so I can adjust to accordingly to taste and to fit my diet guidlines
Spaghetti Sauce:
Everyone does theirs different but here is the general way I do mine. Not exact as I just toss most everything in as I go and taste a lot and eye-ball it.
1 can NSA stewed diced tomatoes
1 can NSA tomato sauce
1 can tomato paste-sometimes
1 small onion chopped
1 good sized clove of garlic chopped
Unsalted butter
Low or no sodium chicken broth
Italian seasoning
Basil
Oregano
Parsley
Dried Chives
Pinch sugar
Pepper
Granulated Garlic
Onion powder
¼ tsp or less celery salt
Saute the onion and garlic until translucent and tender. Add the tomatoes and remaining ingredients. I like to simmer mine for at least 20-30 min. Use over pasta with or with out meat. In lasagna, chicken parmesan etc…
Simmer bone in skinless chicken thighs and legs, until they are fall of the bone tender for super yummy chicken sauce.
You can also add a little more water and some chopped veggies and make a tomato veggie soup.

Crock Pot Chicken Salsa Curry
10 chicken thighs-bone in
1 jar of your fav salsa
1/2 onion chopped
1 tablespoon curry (or about 1/2 if you don't like a strong curry taste)
1/2 cup sour cream
Place the chicken in the crock pot. Mix the onion, curry and salsa. Pour over the chicken and cook on low for about 6-8 hours.
When the chicken is done take it out of the crock pot and put on a serving plate. Add the sour cream and mix well. Spoon the sauce over the chicken.
This would go well with rice or cous cous.
If you don't have crock pot you could also do this is a roasting pan or a casserole dish with a cover or tin foil(about 200) check it though since it may cook faster. I have only done this once in the ovena dn I think I cooked it for 3-4 hours. This recipe is easy to do smaller portions of as well.
Mexi-rice:
Use rice that is still warm.
Heat a skillet or griddle pan to a med-low heat. Add the rice and your favorite salsa, some olives, corn and ground cumin. (A great salsa to use would be the kind in the plastic tubs in the produce section, I think it's labeled as "Fresh Salsa" but El Paso or whatever would work as well.)
Instead of pre-made salsa make your own using roma tomatoes chopped small, red onions, chopped cilantro, minced garlic, finely chopped jalapeño pepper, adding some lime juice, and garlic salt. Then toss this fresh salsa in with the rice and cumin, olives, and corn.
Serve hot and I like mine with just a sprinkle of melted cheese.....yumm!!!

Creamy chicken enchiladas:
1 pound boneless chicken breasts diced
1 8oz package cream cheese cut into cubes
Flour or corn tortillas
1 can diced green chili peppers
ground cumin
1 or 2 can green enchilada sauce
Shredded cheese
Cook the chicken in a skillet and when the chicken is done add the cream cheese, it will melt. As the cream cheese melts add the green chilis, and a couple of good dashes of cumin. Continue to heat on low until the cream cheese has melted.
Fill a tortilla with the chicken mix, roll and place in a baking dish, Continue until the chicken mix is gone. Top with the enchilada sauce and sprinkle with cheese. Bake at 350 for about 10-15 min or until the sauce is nice and hot and the cheese is golden and bubbly.
------------------
Sweet Chop Bake:
The next recipe is for as many chops as you want to make. Salt and pepper both sides of the chops, place in a baking dish. Top EACH chop with the following
1 tbsp brown sugar
1 tbsp ketchup
1 slice onion
1 slice lemon
Bake at 350 for about 30-45 min depending on how many chops, and how thick they are. This dish creates just a tiny bit of a nice sweet tangy sauce. You can simmer an extra serving or 2 the topping ingredients on the stove top with a little water if you would like. I serve this dish over rice also. Different sounding but very good!!!
