Mixed Berry Grunt

By Daniel Mykytyn Thursday, September 8, 2016 3 Food, Recipes Permalink

This dessert is a great example of how dumb I was as a child. I hated blueberries growing up. Maybe it was the sad blandness of cooked frozen blueberries in mediocre pancakes and muffins.

We're all familiar with Bolognese and this recipe is really a slightly more complex variation of that classic, at least ...

For Style and Cheek's first recipe post I decided to go with something incredibly basic that you can build on for future recipes: tomato sauce. There are a TON of different (and delicious) ways to make tomato sauce, ranging from a simple "quick" sauce with 4 ingredients to a complex braised meat "Sunday gravy".Today I'm going ...
