Simple Fresh Pizza Sauce

This is all from memory that I mixed up a few weeks ago for homemade pizza so the measurements aren't exact. It makes a really fresh pizza and it was really good but I would also add melted butter to the top of your uncooked crust before adding the sauce. Melted butter makes everything better. This is easily adaptable to your tastes.

4-6 (or more depending on size and how many pizzas) fresh, chopped tomatoes
4 cloves garlic, chopped *we love garlic but you can adjust for your tastes
3-4 T olive oil
Garlic salt
Italian season or basil, oregano and rosemary

In small/med saucepan over M heat pour in olive oil. Drop in garlic and let it simmer for a few seconds then drop in tomatoes with all their juices from chopping. Season with spices. Let this simmer for 15-20 minutes, mixing and mashing tomatoes as they get softer from cooking. Add more olive oil as needed and seasonings to taste. You want this not too watery but it will be thinner than traditional pizza sauce.

Then I take my crust and spread about 2 T melted butter and sprinkle some garlic salt before topping with maybe 1/4 c? of this sauce. Enough to cover crust lightly. I usually make a fresh tasting, white pizza with this sauce only using Mozzarella.

Just threw this in the crockpot for dinner. It comes from a friend's blog and I think it's super simple to throw together and good.

3-4 chicken breasts, boneless/skinless
2 cans black beans, drained and rinsed
2 cans corn, drained
1 tsp. or more cumin
2-4 garlic cloves, minced
2 cups salsa, divided
salt and pepper to taste
2-8 oz. packages cream cheese (can cut this down if you want), cubed
shredded cheddar cheese to top
white rice, to serve over

Stir together in crockpot the beans, corn, cumin, garlic, S&P, and 1 cup salsa. Lay chicken over top, and spread the other cup of salsa on top. Cover and cook on high for about 2-3 hours, or low 3-4 hours. When chicken is ready, take out and shred into bitesize pieces. Stir in cream cheese and let melt for maybe 15 minutes. Serve over rice and sprinkle with cheese. Also good with tortilla chips.
