"the pittsburgh left turn."

Today's recipe is from a featured contributor in Pittsburgh!  This one serves a bunch, so if you want to wow a crowd, this is the dish- and I bet no one will know it has Taco Bell sauces in it!  I hope you like it!

Ingredients:
1 cup green/brown lentils
1 cup bulgar wheat
1 large onion
1 large green bell pepper
1/2 cup chunky salsa
8oz sour cream
8oz + 4 oz grated cheddar cheese
12 large tortillas
Enchilada sauce (2 small cans or 1 large can)
Taco Bell Sauce!

Spices:
cumin, taco seasoning, garlic powder, chili powder, etc.

Add 1 cup lentils to 3 cups water, simmer for 30 mins or until soft.  Add seasoning!
Bring 2 1/2 cups of water to a boil, remove from heat and add bulgur wheat. Add seasoning! Let stand covered for 30 mins.

MEANWHILE:

Finely chop and saute onion and pepper (can also add red bell pepper if you want-the more colors the merrier!).  Grate 8oz cheese and mix with sour cream in a bowl.  Set aside the other 4oz of grated cheese.  Prepare a 9x13 pan by spreading enchilada sauce on the bottom and sides.  Preheat oven to 400.  Mix lentil, bulgur, onions, peppers, and salsa together.  Set up a large plate where you can coat both sides of tortilla with sauce.

Fill tortilla with generous amounts of lentil mixture, top with cheese+sour cream mixture, roll up and place in pan.  Repeat until out of filling or enchiladas.  Pour extra enchilada sauce on top and add Taco Bell sauce liberally, and top with cheese.  Bake at 400 for 15-20 mins, or until cheese is bubbly.  Now devour.

don't eat more chikn.

What's with all the bad press lately about how 65% of Taco Bell beef is not actually beef?  We have a beef with that.  Here's why:

-When you buy watermelon Gushers, they're not 65% watermelon.
-When you buy a Happy Meal, it's not 65% happy.
-When you buy 2% milk, it's not 65% milk.
-When you buy a grape lollipop, it's not 65% grape.  That would be gross.
-When you buy beer, it's not 65% alcohol.  Go with Absinthe.
-When you buy yogurt raisins, they're not 65% yogurt.

So try arguing with that logic, haters.

And we're not the only one's sticking with Taco Bell- check out the sauce collection of today's featured contributor from the ATL, Amol!  Some may confuse this collection with kleptomania, but when it comes to Taco Bell sauces, you can never have enough!  Think you have a collection to rival this one?  No one's gonna believe it until you send us a picture!!

Taco Bell Sizzling Hot Lipgloss

Ingredients: *lip balm
                  * Taco Bell Verde Sauce, Hot Sauce, Fire Sauce and Mild Sauce

Forgot to put on makeup? Hop by Taco Bell and get some sauces

So with the help of the incredible and versatile taco bell sauces, we have invented a lip gloss that is guaranteed to plump your lips, taste delicious, and numb your lips in case you decide to get them pierced.

You start off with a lip balm on the lips to protect yourself from the burn of the sauces, and then dab some hot sauce on your finger and smear on! Enjoy!

Testers and their partners tried it out (okay fine, I kissed my hand) and reported feeling a mild stinging sensation but a delicious after taste.  With the different flavors not only do you get a different shade, but a nice smell that will be guaranteed to go well with your favorite perfume.

Flavors:
Verde: A nice green color for a funky new look. Also good if you want to fake a sick day.
Fire: Creates big plump red lips for that first date
Mild: a sweet little gloss, tastes sweet and spicy on the lips
Fire Roasted: A pretty plum color.

The third sauce i tried, by now my lips have swelled, and they still have a slight ...well uncomfortable sensation

Mild Sauce:  a nice sheer. Starts to drip off the mouth though

Verde didn't do much, just acted like a nice little gloss

Fire Sauce: Okay maybe the fake vegetable chunks get in the way of the sexiness, but it tastes delicious

Let us know if you try it out and take some pictures! Sauces will drip ,so pair these glosses with a dark top.

the first one. and man is it spicy.

Welcome!  We're so glad that you've stumbled by our blog, unless you're our friends, in which case we probably bugged you about it so much, you had to see what all the fuss was. We explained the premise of this blog in the "About Me" section, so we'll take it from there.

Tonight's dinner was a spicy stir-fry noodle dish called the "Schezuan Slammer," which consisted of the ingredients shown below.

You will need:
-Frozen stir-fry veggies
-Fettuccine pasta
-Stir-fry sauce
-Oil
-Garlic paste (optional)
-Cilantro (optional)
-Taco Bell Sauce!

Cook the pasta til it's al dente- it'll cook some more once it's with the veggies.  Heat some oil and add garlic paste when the oil is hot.  Then throw in the frozen veggies and let them cook on high heat until they're not soggy.

Add the stiry-fry sauce and continue to cook the veggies until they look crisp and they taste good.  Then add in the pasta and more sauce as needed.  Now garnish with some cilantro and add the Taco Bell sauce!  I went with Mild today, because the stir-fry sauce was already really spicy.

It tasted SO good!  The Schezuan sauce and the Taco Bell sauce tasted surprisingly great together, and it was very filling.  I'm already excited about the leftovers!  I hope you guys enjoy this one, and if you have an idea, recipe, song, picture, or anything about taco bell sauces and would like to be featured, email us at the address on the side!
