http://chat.provida.com/forum/tm.asp?m=1395053

From member Danela1. BMOS Note: Although this recipe contains Fruit A in the form of pineapple, when used in moderation, you may consider this condiment a free food.

2 (8 oz) cans nsa tomato paste
½ cup juicy chunk pineapple, excess juice drained
1/3 cup balsamic vinegar
5 cloves garlic
½ onion
3 tablespoons Liquid Smoke (BMOS Note: When shopping for this ingredient, please be sure it does not contain added salt or sweeteners such as molasses. Wright’s would be a good on-plan choice.)
12 oz nsa chicken or beef broth, approximately
1 teaspoon cayenne pepper, optional
1/3 cup Brown Sugar Twin, or to taste (BMOS Note: Sugar Twin is found in the baking section of many markets.)
black pepper, to taste

Use a blender and blend the onion and garlic for your base. Simmer that in a pan using a little of the chicken or beef broth. Add all other ingredients and simmer. Place in blender along with ½ cup of chunk pineapple and process till fine. Add to simmering sauce. This recipe should keep for 3-4 weeks if stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator.

Not sure if I'll like this on salad/veggies, but someone mentioned using it as a dip for the OP Hot Wings, so I'll try it with that. Also, unseasoned rice wine vinegar has a light flavor, white wine has a heavy flavor and distilled white is pretty pungent, FYI. :)





ITALIAN DRESSING MIX (DRY)
http://chat.provida.com/forum/tm.asp?m=1090535

From member tepia53. I got this out of Low Sodium Cooking. Occasionally, you'll come across a recipe that calls for a package of Italian Dressing mix. Unfortunately, those dressing mixes are high in sodium. The solution? Make your own! One and a half tablespoons of this mix equals a packet of the commercial mix like Good Seasons.

2 tsp oregano
1 tsp onion powder
2 tsp basil
2 tsp paprika
1 1/2 tsp pepper
2 Tbsp garlic powder
6 Tbsp Splenda Mix and store in an airtight container.

Haven't tried this one yet, but it can be used dry in meats, etc. or can be mixed with vinegar (about 1.5 tablespoons per cup of vinegar) for a wet dressing.

SPAGHETTI SAUCE
http://chat.provida.com/forum/tm.asp?m=32869

From member Poetic Kiss. My Italian bones were aching for some real authentic Italian, particularly spaghetti sauce. So, I have created an original...what I and 10 of my friends think is a real taste of Italy.

14.5 oz can nsa diced tomatoes
2 (8 oz) cans nsa tomato sauce
1/8 cup minced onion
1½ teaspoon basil
1 teaspoon oregano
1 bay leaf
1¼ teaspoon freshly minced garlic
1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
¼ cup red wine (Burgundy is good)
½ teaspoon crushed red chili (the chili you sprinkle on pizza)
1 teaspoon onion powder
¼ teaspoon Mrs. Dash
¼ cup sliced portabella mushrooms (optional)

Put all ingredients into saucepan. Stir and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to just simmer. Continue to simmer uncovered for 30-40 minutes, letting flavors blend and sauce thicken. The longer you simmer, the thicker the sauce will get. Serving idea: Sprinkle ½ cup cooked spaghetti squash with 2 oz seasoned cooked ground turkey or beef. Cover with 1 ladle of sauce.
