Oh, I do, too. My mom's half Italian, and I got a lot of joy out of

recreating her spaghetti sauce with no oil, but don't tell her -- she'd

Of course, Sue!

I wanted to thank you personally and publicly for the time you spend on

the FFV blog and recipe pages. So many of us have benefitted in

providing healthy and scrumptios meals for our families.

Clear skies!

I think you may have the wrong Sue. We have lots of 'em here. :-) I

think we've got Sue in NJ, and Sue Hermosilla, and Susan Voisin (the one

who does the list and blog). Am I missing any Sues?
