Yes, if I had my choice, I’d eat pizza every day! It’s one food I have missed so much and have been experimenting to find ways to bring it back into my life. Since going gluten-free, dairy-free, and soy-free, I’ve spent a lot of time working on my gut and discovered I could introduce cheese again. Not daily, but once a month is ok for now; as long as it is made with buffalo, sheep, or goat milk, I’m good to go. So this delicious Quick & Easy No-Cook Pizza Sauce is perfect when the urge strikes. Plus, I have my gluten-free and grain-free pizza Best Pizza Crust all ready and waiting in my freezer!

I'm Melinda Stevens and living the life of a beach bum was inevitable since my father was a lifeguard for the city of Los Angeles. My memories of growing up on John Street in Manhattan Beach, California were filled with joy, excitement and adventures; until my world, as I knew it, fell apart when we moved to Del Mar, California. My father was offered the position as Captain of the lifeguards and we started the slow migration to the small deserted stretch of beach in 1963. At twelve years old, this seemed like the end of my life. Remember, I’m writing with clear hindsight now, ok somewhat clearer… Little did I know this would be the beginning of a new journey and give a bit more clarity to many of the events that led me to this new cooking adventure.
