About


This is a great recipe for people looking for a Meatless Monday dinner.  It's quick and easy and the tastes are so flavorful people won't even notice the lack of meat!
For those looking for a good chili sauce try Sriracha, which is the one with the green lid and a large rooster.  This stuff is HOT so add slowly and taste often to avoid any surprises!
