Food what’s good to cook

• 1TSP olive oil
• 1 cup chopped onion
• 5 cloves minced garlic (use more if you're like me)
• 1/2 cup red wine
• 2 TB brown sugar (the sweet secret!)
• 2 TB chopped fresh basil
• 1 small can tomato paste
• 1 1/2 TSP crushed red pepper flakes
• 1/4 TSP ground black pepper
• 2 large cans crushed tomatoes
• 2 TB chopped fresh parsley (for garnish)

Heat oil in large skillet. Saute onion and garlic for about 5 minutes.

Stir in the wine, sugar, basil, red pepper flakes, tomato paste, black pepper. Combine.

Mix in the crushed tomatoes and bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium and simmer for 2o minutes (uncovered).

Mix into UNRINSED penne (I like the penne rigate, the sauce just sticks better!) and top with the chopped parsley.

MANGIA!

I've started drinking these this week and I'm loving them. they don't taste like spinach at all!

1 cup soymilk

1 frozen banana chopped up

2 Tb peanut butter

a few handfuls of spinach and/or kale (the kale will add a bit of bitterness, I've started out with just spinach and moved to adding half kale and half spinach)

1 Tb ground flax seeds (optional)

pour the soymilk in the blender, add the banana and peanut butter. start blending on low, and slowly add in the spinach or kale. stop when the smoothie looks green enough.

the bananas and peanut butter seem to counteract the taste of spinach entirely. I've made it without PB before and you could taste it a bit, but with the PB it only looks green. These appear to have really helped and regulated my digestive system, if you catch my drift.

also, you don't need a $500 blender for this to work. My $30 black and decker blender works fine. Just be patient.

Mushrooms are amazing things.
