How to Make Frozen Hash Browns + Life Lately
Frozen Hash Browns are SO convenient to have on hand, and they’re just as good as (or better than) fresh hash browns! Oh hash browns…how I love thee.

I threw up my hands at the…

Easy Homemade Pizza Sauce with Tomato Paste
This homemade pizza sauce is super easy and very tasty. It’s made with tomato paste to really cut back on the cooking time. Growing up, I actually didn’t really like homemade pizza.
