Expert Q&A


	By Vita Greco Italian Cooking Expert

What is the difference between a marinara sauce and a pasta sauce?

Marinara sauce is without meat and cooked for a short time with a lot of fresh basil. Pasta sauce is just a name people gravitated to when referring to the sauce that's put on top of macaroni (pasta is an Italian word). When the sauce has meat in it, it is gravy, because the meat makes it so."

Personal health often times takes a backseat to maintaining the health of those around us. This seems especially true for mothers. Between pediatrician well checks, dental exams, eye exams and a whole host of other childhood preventative services, do you have time to meet your own health care needs?

	Absolutely. I am current on my checkups (physical, pap, dental exam, etc.)
	Sort of. I make it when I can, but I am behind schedule, and some things get missed.
	Nope. I just can’t seem to remember.
	Nope. I don’t have health insurance to pay for that.
