Easy and Delicious Marinara Sauce Recipe Served on Rotini Pasta

My inspiration for this recipe is very surprising! I spent several days and nights at the hospital with a family member that didn't need to be left alone. The food served to the patient was ghastly. In the hospitals defense, I do realize they are cooking and serving hundreds of people with a variety of preferences. That is not a job I would want. It is unlikely anyone is happy with their food. Because I was staying around the clock with my family member, I was able to ask my husband to bring food to us. Therefore, the hospital food most often went uneaten.

Surprisingly, on the last day we were there, they served spaghetti, which happens to be the patient's favorite food. It smelled delicious! After sampling a few bits, it was declared a good meal. Before they took the tray away, I also tasted the sauce so I could replicate it once we got home. It was very easy to identify the ingredients in the simple sauce. It truly made me wonder why I had not considered making something like it before.

Two nights later, I made my version of that marinara sauce and served it to my family. Would you believe my husband said it was the best he had ever tasted? I was shocked. My entire family loves it and we have eaten twice since then. I have tweaked it slightly, but it is a very basic and easy to make marinara sauce.

Diced Tomato Marinara Sauce on Rotini Pasta

At the hospital, they served the sauce on top of rotini pasta. What a great idea! Rotini pasta is shaped to hold the sauce within its twisted spirals. That makes it perfect for a thin sauce.

Topped with a bit of mozzarella cheese and basil, we hit perfection. A simple sauce almost anyone can enjoy because it is not heavily "flavored". Of course, you can add garlic, onion, or other typical ingredients if desired, but we like it simple.

Ingredients

• 2 cans of 14.5 oz petite diced tomatoes (we prefer Good & Gather brand)

• 2 small cans of Hunts tomato sauce (8 ounces)

• 1 teaspoon dried oregano

• 1 tablespoon Italian seasoning

• freeze dried basil

• Salt and black pepper to taste

• 1 Tablespoon Butter

• Pinch of sugar (to balance acidity)

Instructions

1. Heat 2 small cans of tomato sauce in a covered skillet or saucepan for 10 min to thicken

2. Stir in the diced tomatoes along with their juice

3. Add oregano, Italian seasoning, salt, and pepper

4. Bring the sauce to a gentle boil, then turn the heat to low. Partially cover the pot with a tilted lid and let it simmer for 20 - 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.

5. Stir in a pinch of sugar and the butter for flavor. Stir together until butter is completely melted

6. Sprinkle with Mozzarella Cheese & Basil as each dish is prepared

Ready to serve!

Grandma Doesn't Wish To Be Young Again - A Story and a Song

Why "Grandma Doesn't Wish to Be Young Again"

Most of the lyrics I write carry a piece of my heart, and this one comes straight from my parents' lives. The opening verse of "Grandma Doesn't Wish to Be Young Again" offers a small glimpse into their story.

They took their vows in a quiet little town and spent hours just driving around together. My dad had this teasing grin that could make my mom laugh even when she was mad at him, a skill he definitely used to clear the air!

Today, my mom and dad are together again, which makes this song mean the world to me.

Before that reunion, though, I watched my mother navigate life after losing him. That experience inspired the story of a grandmother learning to live fully in a world where her husband has gone on ahead.

Mom once said to me that losing Dad was like losing half of your body. I could feel the shift. Losing Dad affected us all, but Mom, I suspect, more than anyone.

Why An Upbeat Tempo?

When people hear a song about grief and aging, they usually expect a slow, tear-jerking ballad.

But I wanted something entirely different. I went with a fast, upbeat tempo on purpose. It took many iterations to get the sound I wanted to match my words. That part was frustrating, but in the end, the final result is what I was going for.

Life doesn't stop moving just because we experience loss, and our memories of the people we love are usually vibrant and full of energy.

The driving rhythm mirrors that enduring spirit, transforming a bittersweet story into something that feels alive, moving forward, and surprisingly uplifting.

The Real Meaning Behind The Title

The title says it all: "Grandma doesn't wish to be young again."

While my mom might have liked the idea of reliving her youth, she made it clear as she got older that she had no reservations about leaving when her time came, because it meant being with my dad.

For the character in my song, turning back the clock holds no appeal. Going backward would just take her further away from where Grandpa is patiently waiting for her.

Instead of wishing for lost years, she finds comfort in her memories of him, which give her the strength to keep going each day. She even reminds her kids and grandkids not to fear getting older, seeing aging simply as a privilege.

It's just a personal reflection on love that outlasts the years, and I'm so glad I could share the story behind it with you all on the blog today. Perhaps you'll find your family in these words.

Oh, I forgot to mention: the wedding photo in the main image is of my mom and dad on their wedding day.

Haunt Me! An Original Short Story and Song About My Cinderfella

The Inspiration Behind "Haunt Me"

When I set out to write my latest song, Haunt Me, I wanted to create something fun yet slightly romantically eerie for adults just in time for Halloween.

It took me about a week and a half of brainstorming to nail down the exact approach and storyline.

I finally decided to write a song about a heartbreakingly devoted woman who sets a place at the dinner table every night for her late husband, hoping against hope that his ghost might break the rules and show up.

But as she knows all too well, the veil only thins enough for his once-a-year visit on Halloween night.

The Full Story: A Year of Empty Chairs

Every single day, I set his place at the table. I fill his coffee cup with the dark roast he used to love, letting the steam curl up into the quiet kitchen, and I leave the chair opposite mine waiting.

I live in the fragile, stubborn hope that today is the day the universe bends its own rigid rules, that his once-a-year visit will somehow stretch into tomorrow, turning a fleeting midnight Halloween Night reunion into a permanent stay.

But it never does.

The coffee goes cold, the chair remains empty, and the silence settles back in like a heavy winter coat.

People in town call it a trick.

Some whisper behind my back, wondering if I am cursed to love a ghost so fiercely that I have completely forgotten how to let go.

They look at the second plate on my table with pity, shaking their heads at my stubborn grief. But they don't understand.

When you've lost the person who was your entire world, an eerie, romantic midnight reunion once every 365 days isn't a curse.

It's a miracle, and I'll take it in any form I can possibly get.

The Night the Veil Thins

For three hundred and sixty-four days, the house is just a museum of memories.

But when the calendar finally turns to October 31st, the air shifts.

Halloween night carries a heavy, unmistakable power.

The autumn chill outside seems to press closer against the windowpanes, and a sudden, sharp drop in temperature ripples through the hallway.

I don't need to look at the clock to know he is near.

As the carved pumpkins on the porch cast soft, flickering shadows across the floorboards, he steps out of the chill and into the warm light of the front foyer. His favorite Halloween treats sit, waiting for him, in the candy bowl.

He materializes slowly, starting as a shimmer of mist before settling into the familiar, beloved lines of his face, wearing the jacket he wore the day he left.

We head to the dining room where he sits across from me, his presence filling the empty spaces of the room that have ached for him all year.

Without a word, he devours his favorite meal just like he used to, completely unannounced and entirely real for one fleeting night.

We don't need to speak of how much time has passed or how much it hurts; the language of our love lives entirely in the quiet clinking of silverware and the warmth of his eyes across the candlelight.

And then, just as quickly as he arrived, the candles sputter, the autumn wind dies down, and the chair is empty again.

But my heart is full, because I know he will be back next year.

My haunting Cinderfella is mine, only for a night.

The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon

Review of a novel by Stephen King

Cast of Characters:

Trisha McFarland. Age nine. Main Character

Tom Gordon. Closer. Pitcher, number 36, for the Boston Red Sox baseball team.

Time Sequence: June, 1998

Synopsis of The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon

The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon : A NovelCheck Price

The story begins at ten o’clock on a June Saturday morning in Maine. Trisha is in the family car on her way, with her divorced mother and older brother, for a short hike along the Maine/New Hampshire branch of the Appalachian Trail. At ten thirty, she was lost in the woods!

Trisha had not meant to get lost. During the hike, she was trailing behind her mother & brother who were arguing again over the brother wanting to go back to Boston and live with his dad. Trisha got tired of listening to them, so when they reached a fork in the trail, she stepped off to the lessor trail to go to the bathroom. When done, she thought she could just cut across through the woods to rejoin the main trail. Instead, she got confused and ended up walking in the wrong direction.

The story occurs over the space of a week, with Trisha’s wanderings and poor choices of direction getting her more & more lost, including way beyond the search areas where search & rescue teams were looking for her.

To keep from being too frightened, especially the first night alone in the dark, she uses her Walkman to listen to a game on the radio of her favorite baseball team (The Boston Red Sox), with her favorite player, Tom Gordon.

Trisha also began to conserve her small store of food meant originally for lunch on the day hike. This included one tuna sandwich, some chips, celery sticks and Ding-Dongs, plus water and one other drink!

As the days go by, Trisha keeps walking, first following a stream because she heard that streams usually end somewhere near civilization. When the first stream peters out, she follows another. She mentally replays conversations with her dad on weekend visits, especially those about the Red Sox and Tom Gordon, also her dad’s favorite team. In one conversation, Trisha remembers dad saying:

“I believe Tom Gordon can save 40 games this year (1998). I believe right now he’s the best Closer in the major leagues — that if he stays healthy and the Sox hitting holds up, he could be pitching in the World Series come October!”

Eventually, as days pass, the batteries in the Walkman die. So, Trisha begins to keep her mind occupied with imaginary conversations with her hero, Tom Gordon.

Summary

The entire story (with a few side lines from minor characters) is narrated by and involves mainly Trisha McFarland (and, of course, her baseball hero, Tom Gordon). How she copes when she runs out of food and water and later becomes ill, is a testimony to the endurance of youth and the belief that things will work out.

Stephen King does a marvelous job keeping you riveted to each section of Trisha’s journey alone in deep woods. Only, Trisha doesn’t believe she’s alone; she’s convinced Tom Gordon is with her, encouraging her to keep going.

The Girl Who Loved Tom Gordon is a bit of a departure for Stephen King. Rather than a true horror story, (which is a genre I definitely stay away from; thereby seldom reading books by King), it is more a psychological thriller. And, since it involved baseball, and the fact that it is a fiction story involving a real-life baseball player from the 1990s, (whom I had just recently read about), I found myself drawn to it. I am glad I did, as I really enjoyed it.

Summary

Tom Gordon is best remembered in Boston for his dominant 1998 season out of the bullpen, where he set a then-major league record of 43 consecutive saves and a franchise record of 46 saves. Thereby, bringing Trisha’s dad’s earlier statement of 40+ games into focus.

Tom ‘Flash’ Gordon played for the Red Sox from 1996 through 1999. Find his stats and career information and how he acquired the nickname ‘Flash’ here. He is currently the radio color commentator for the Boston Red Sox.

*Family Note: Former Major League Baseball pitcher Tom "Flash" Gordon has three sons, two of whom followed in his footsteps to play in the major leagues.

Dear 1975 – A Look Back Through the Years We’ll Never Forget

I sat down to write the lyrics and the song Dear 1975 as a tribute to us, to the older generation who lived through those times, and to the memories we carry.

When we look back, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking we didn’t know how good we had it. But the truth be told, I did know. I was fifteen years old, safe and secure in my parents’ home, in the same room in the house my brother now owns.

I can still go back there if I want, but it’s never the same without my parents. Even so, I’m so grateful that my brother has the home.

1975 represents something bigger for us seniors. The world is moving so fast now, and it’s easy to look back through rose-colored glasses, but I think most of us who lived happy, healthy lives in the ‘70s will agree the decade was simply wonderful.

Life, The Music, and The Freedom in 1975

The culture in 1975 was amazing.

The music was unbeatable. The sitcoms, the variety shows, the freedom. It’s funny to even use the word freedom to describe it, but that’s exactly what it felt like.

On social media, so many of my peers who grew up in the ‘70s often reminisce about how free we were, and it’s true. I remember being on my bike from morning until night, riding to friends’ houses, calling my mom to say I wouldn’t be home for dinner because I was eating at Linda’s. Even when she moved across town, we biked there too, then on to the park, then to school, meeting our friends along the way.

There were no cell phones, and our parents were okay with it. We were just on the move, living and breathing that kind of independence that seems almost impossible to imagine today.

Here's the lyric song video tribute I wrote for us who are of the generation of 1975:

Do You Know Where Your Kids Are?

And then, of course, there was the nightly reminder on TV: Do you know where your kids are? I think back to that now, and I can’t help but laugh.

Ten o’clock at night, flashing across the screen were the words and commentary, "Do you know where your kids are?" I was always home by then, thinking, who actually loses track of their kids? But it was the ‘70s, and we had that notice, that little nudge from the world, as if to remind parents that yes, the kids were out exploring the world, and yes, that was okay, but time to come home!

Thinking About Mom and Dad in the 1970s

Some of my most vivid memories involve Mom and me watching movies together, or Dad coming home from long work trips. His briefcase would be filled with coins, which my brother and I would happily dump on the floor and divvy up.

Dad would be sprawled on the floor in the living room with the eight-track playing country songs, the kind that I can still almost hear in my mind.

Our vehicles had eight-track cassette tapes, and I begged for my first tape recorder for Christmas just so I could hear my own voice, and promptly discovered I didn’t like it.

Our house was always full of people. Neighbors dropping in, friends hanging out, the laughter and chatter filling every corner. That, to me, was the ‘70s. Family, friends, security, and an unspoken understanding that life, in those moments, was exactly as it should be.

Writing Dear 1975 was my way of capturing that warmth, that freedom, and that sense of rootedness we sometimes forget to appreciate when we’re young.

It’s a reminder of the simplicity we sometimes take for granted, the moments that feel small at the time but last a lifetime. It’s a diary entry to my younger self, and to anyone who remembers 1975 the way I do: full of music, laughter, love, and the kind of freedom that can only come from feeling safe in the world.
