 Mama’s spicy peanut butter with bacon sandwich  

Ingredients:

Two slices of bread (I really like "Dave's Killer Bread") http://www.daveskillerbread.com/ 

4 slices of thick cut bacon

Peanut butter

1teaspoon or more of Mama’s Fire Tibetan hot sauce

Items needed:

Bacon cooking tray or skillet or cookie sheet

Butter knife

Plate or paper towel

Preparation:

Cook the bacon to your liking: In the microwave, on the stove or in the oven. Please follow the cooking instructions on the bacon package.

Note: Fried provolone can be used as a bacon alternative. Check out this link: http://www.foodista.com/recipe/3TG6WGTT/fried-provolone-cheese#

Toast your bread if you want it toasted

Place your bread or toast on a plate or paper towel

Spread peanut butter on each slice of toast

Spread the teaspoon of Mama’s Fire hot sauce on one slice

Lay the bacon across the long way of that one slice of bread so that the bacon is covering the entire slice of bread or toast

Lay the other slice of bread/toast on top, cut in half and enjoy.

Cup of noodles or Raman noodles:

Prepare as you normally would

Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of Mama’s Fire Tibetan Hot Sauce

Another variation: add 1 or 2 tablespoons of peanut butter at the end of preparing along with Mama’s Fire and enjoy a Thai tasting dish.

Adding peanut butter at the end gives a cream texture. If you add while heating or cooking the peanut butter often takes on a slimy texture and may not be as pleasurable.

OR

Cook the noodles make sure you have used the season package at some point

Remove the noodles and place them in a bowl

With the remaining broth add 1 or 2 tablespoons of Mama’s Fire Tibetan Hot Sauce

Add 1 cup of frozen spinach or vegetable of your choice heat until hot (or done) and scoop them out and add the veggies on top of the noodles

Add 1 or 2 tablespoons of peanut butter, mix until well blended and then poor over your noodles and vegetables.

Curry soups:

Prepare your favorite curry soup and add 1 or two tablespoons of Mama’s Fire Tibetan Hot Sauce to each 1.5 cups or 2 cups of soup for a fantastic dance of flavors in your mouth. So yummy!

Progresso soups and other canned soups:

Add about 1 tablespoon or more per cup of soup.  Take the ordinary and turn it into extraordinary! Progresso makes great soups and Mama’s fire makes them rock this world! Just saying, J

Curry and or coconut dishes:

Add Mama’s Fire Tibetan Hot Sauce to various curry and or coconut recipes. Add to soups, sauces, lentils, rice dishes and much more.

Chicken:

Before baking, brush a thin or thick layer of Mama’s Fire Tibetan Hot Sauce over the chicken for a delicious Tibetan kick.

Spinach side dish or topper:

Items needed:

Small to medium sauce pan with a lid

Table spoon

Mixing spoon

Ingredients:

2 cups fresh spinach (in a bag is easiest)

3 tablespoons of water (less water may be fine)

2 tablespoons of Mama’s Fire Tibetan Hot Sauce

Pinch or so of sea salt

Pinch of black pepper

1/8 teaspoon of onion powder

Preparation:

Rinse the spinach and drain the water off (or use a salad spinner)

Chop the spinach or leave whole (it simmers down a bit better when it’s chopped up at least a bit)

Heat the water and Mama’s Fire Tibetan Hot Sauce to a nice simmer or slow boil

Add the onion powder, sea salt and the black pepper to the liquid and mix in

Add the spinach to the hot liquid mix, top with lid and let it wilt down

Completely mix spinach with liquid, remove from heat, let set about 4 minutes but stir it each minute to make sure flavors completely mix in.  

Serve hot on the side or over a nice juicy peppered stake

You can also add a sprinkle sesame seeds or crushed pine nuts or walnuts on top for added flavor, texture and visual appeal.

Addition pointers:

Try making your favorite homemade soups, lentil dishes, and quinoa dishes with a bit of Mama’s Fire Tibetan Hot Sauce to give it a whole new flavor and or a nice kick.

When preparing lentil dishes from scratch here is a great website worth taking a look at:

Mama’s Fire Tibetan Hot Sauce is wonderful in many dishes from around the world such as Indian, Thai, Tibetan, African dishes and stir fry’s.

Another discovery I have made is that in healthy dishes when I add Mama’s Fire Tibetan Hot Sauce I find it far more interesting and am drawn towards eating the healthier foods since I have started using Mama’s Fire Tibetan Hot Sauce than I once was before.  

Try adding it your salad dressings too!

DAVE'S KILLER BREAD!

Foot notes:

While I really want to share in my delight of Mama's Fire Tibetan Hot Sauce,

I realized that I also love Dave's Killer Bread for sandwiches so of course,

I had to put that plug in too.

All good stuff!

More foot notes:

The other key thing for me here is choosing to use products or patronize businesses with heart! These products and companies mentioned here all have heart. They all give back to, contribute to and connect with their communities in many ways.

They chose products or ingredients that are quality good for you kind of good stuff.

And more foot notes:

I was not hired to write this by any company. And I haven't asked their permission.

 I enjoy these products and want to share my experience with you.

This is my exclusive experience (my families experience too!) and I hope it will be yours as well.

In fact, I'm confident you will enjoy these products as well that that was why I wanted to share.

All of these products are just far too good to keep a secret.

:)
