SUMMARY: Italian marinara sauce is traditionally a light mix of tomatoes, basil, garlic, olive oil, and oregano, often served with pasta or bread. A heartier version for colder days involves doubling the vegetables, adding more wine and spices, and cooking longer to thicken and intensify the flavors. Adding parmesan, either as a rind during simmering or grated at the end, enhances the taste. Paired with Italian red wine, such as cabernet sauvignon, it creates a satisfying and cozy meal. The recipe includes onions, bell pepper, jalapenos, garlic, fresh herbs, dry red wine, Italian whole tomatoes, Italian seasoning, red pepper flakes, and olive oil.

SUMMARY: Feeding wildlife can be enjoyable, but it’s important to remember that many animals can find their own food and may become dependent on human assistance. Instead of feeding them directly, consider planting native plants that provide natural food sources like fruits, seeds, and insects. Examples include Wax Myrtle, Yaupon Holly, and American Beautyberry. For nectar-feeding birds, try Coral Honeysuckle or Red Buckeye. Creating a no-mow zone, brush piles, and other habitats can also provide shelter and food. While occasional feeding is fine, avoid processed foods, and opt for natural options like nuts for squirrels and fruits for turtles.
