Three Cheers goes to lensmaster 2Eklectik for this recipe!

Ingredients

3 Tbsp Olive oil
1.5-2 lbs Whole White Mushrooms, coarsely chopped
1 med yellow onion, finely chopped
Dash of Salt
~1 tsp Pepper
~1 Tbsp Red Pepper Flakes
1/2C Tomato Sauce
~4 oz (or more) of Favorite Hot Sauce - to taste

Tortilla Chips or Plain Crackers to serve

Preheat a large skillet over med-high heat. Add Olive oil and turn skillet to coat entire bottom. Add chopped mushrooms, onion, salt and pepper. Toss to coat.

Allow mixture to saute ~15 - 20 min (stirring occassionally) until all liquid from mushrooms evaporates and mushrooms and onions start to brown slightly.

Add tomato sauce (be careful since it will tend to splatter once it hits the hot pan). Mix to coat. Add hot sauce (I'm currently using Ring of Fire). Mix thoroughly with wooden spoon. Remove from heat, scoop into serving bowl.

Serve either warm or cool - with tortilla chips or crackers.

Also makes a great topping for hot dogs and hamburgers.

Leftovers (if there are any) can be refrigerated and either reheated, or served cold.

NOTE: Mixture should have a chili-like consistency before removing from pan. If too 'soupy' continue to heat until some of the liquid evaporates. If you're adding more Hot Sauce to increase the heat, cut back on the tomato sauce slightly.

December Through February

March Through May

June Through August

One of four seasons, traditionally the second, marked by the longest and typically hottest days of the year due to the inclination of the Earth. Typically regarded as being from June 21 to September 20 in parts of the USA, and the months of December, January and February in the Southern Hemisphere. From Wiktionary

When on a Summer's Morn

When on a summer's morn I wake,
And open my two eyes,
Out to the clear, born-singing rills
My bird-like spirit flies.

To hear the Blackbird, Cuckoo, Thrush,
Or any bird in song;
And common leaves that hum all day
Without a throat or tongue.

And when Time strikes the hour for sleep,
Back in my room alone,
My heart has many a sweet bird's song --
And one that's all my own.

Peanut Butter and Banana Wraps

1/2 cup peanut butter
4 whole wheat or regular flour tortillas
1/4 cup honey
2 small bananas, sliced
1/4 cup miniature semisweet chocolate chips, if desired.

Spread 2 tablespoons of the peanut butter evenly over each tortilla. Drizzle 1 tablespoon of the honey over each tortilla. Top with banana slices and chocolate chips. Roll up tortillas.

Tips:
To keep sliced bananas from browning just dip them into lemon or orange juice before assembling.

These sandwich rolls are made to travel! Wrap them in plastic wrap or wax paper, and they're ready to roll! :)
