TVP Spaghetti Sauce

I think that this recipe is delicious, easy, and freezes very well!

1 and a half cans of no tomato sauce
1 can of diced tomatoes - no salt added
1 can of tomato paste
1 cup of TVP crumbles
Spices to taste (I prefer oregano, minced garlic, white pepper, and fresh basil)
Splash of extra virgin olive oil

Place all ingredients in a crock pot and cook on low for several hours to let the flavors mature. The left overs freeze very well. I like to freeze it in ziplock bags for easy dethawing.

Peanut Butter White Chocolate Popcorn

2 bags microwave popcorn (or you could use regular popcorn)
1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
1 bag white chocolate chips (2 cups)
1/2-1 cup Reeses Pieces or M&Ms

Pop the popcorn then sift through to remove all unpopped kernels. Soften the PB in the microwave over 30 seconds, stir into popcorn to coat evenly. Melt the white chocolate either in a double broiler or in the microwave (over 2 minutes on 50% power, then stir chips until smooth). Pour over popcorn and gently stir to coat popcorn evenly with chocolate. Add Reeses Pieces or M&Ms as you stir in the chocolate. Spread out popcorn on waxed paper to set. Enjoy!
