New Recipes- Semi Famous Pizza Sauce- Healing a Wound
Here we are into the new year by a week- can you believe it? Anyone write the old year on checks or anything? Or am I dating my self if I refer to a checkbook? I have a lot of new things on the blog today- many recipes have 
been uploaded, including my Semi Famous Pizza Sauce. I say it’s “semi” because its’ only been tasted by many many friends and family and my pizza is always a hit. Yep, I’m totally bragging. It’s that good. Go ahead give it a try! There are several Sourdough Discard recipes as well if you’ve been following along with my Sourdough Series. Also on there is a great Chicken Pot Pie recipe- it includes mashed potatoes and a creamy sauce. It’s really delicious if I do say so myself (and so do my kids, so that’s a big bonus there)
Something really cool happened last night- I cut myself. Ok…doesn’t sound like a good start does it? Well it 
happens because I’m always cooking from scratch and stuff always needs to be chopped up. So yeah me + knives, the knife always wins. Got me good, nothing like go get it sutured or anything. However I didn’t want to use a typical ointment and a band aid. During the summer months I would grab Yarrow from the herb garden because it’s full of great coagulating properties, however the dry stuff I’ve saved just doesn’t cut it. Trust me, I tried previously. And recently I’ve heard that Cayenne pepper can do the same!! Yes, that super spicy stuff, and gosh guys it REALLY worked! No it did not sting at all. I’ll spare you a photo of my finger, but I will share the cayenne pepper I used. I dumped a bit into a bowl mixed it with a splash of water and used the spoon to pour it on my cut. Boom, Stopped & Sealed It Up! How amazing is that? I have grown Cayenne in my gardens before and you bet I’ll add a plant or two this year as well just for this purpose. So after the cayenne used it’s magic coagulating powers the next day I have been using my Calendula salve I created during the summer to heal it up. Works great! I’ve been listening to Doc Jones on Youtube learning about this! PS I’m not a dr, just having fun with it.
