These are a tasty treat, if not the healthiest thing. I'm contemplating using chicken and low fat rolls to give it a shot. If it turns out you'll know where to look for the updated nutritional info.
Like traditional artichoke dip, but no mayo and better tasting. Can be eaten fresh with veggies, low fat chips, as stuffing for mushrooms, or for pasta.
Beef and spinach ravioli! I skipped the veal and modified the directions from http://www.food.com/recipe/ravioli-dough-a

I haven't tried this yet. I will update it after I try it :)
This creamy Middle Eastern spead takes minutes to prepare and will keep for several days, refrigerated. Serve as a snack with raw veggies, use as an omelette filling, or with your favourite chicken salad recipe. This recipe originally calls for chopped fresh cilantro but I've chosen to replace it with dried parsley instead.
CHICKPEA FACTOID: Also called garbanzo beans are firm, round, beige beans usd extensively in Middle Eastern, Indian and Mediterranean cuisine. One 1/2 cup serving of chickpeas has 7 grams of protein, 6 grams of fiber and 60 milligrams of calcium.
I love to make this during the winter months it's a really great sweet meal and really easy to make.
Makes approximately 4 dozen. Very moist, very good taste and texture
This is a nice summer salsa that can be used with chips or topping for bugers or fish. If making in winter can substitute 1 1/2 cups frozen corn. Also need to add 1/2 t. ground cumin and optional is 1/2 t. of red pepper flakes.
This soup is so deliously simple and tasty! Also for a twist you could add a bit of whole grain pasta!
Really hearty snack, appetizer or meal...original recipe called for 2 jalopenos, but I swapped them out for the curry and garlic powders.
Cooking time includes 40 minutes time to cook dry BEPs... if using rinsed, canned beans, cooking time is 3-4 minutes. Some people don't soak BEPs, but I like it better when I soak them
Good candidate for your food processor (which I used) but can easily be put together without one.
Make small cakes and top with salsa, sour cream, cheese, whatever you like and use as appetizers for a party (hold up well at room temp). I dipped them in medium chilpolte salsa...but they are great just as they are at room temp.
I ended up with 24 (2" plus) pancakes which made 6 (4 cake) servings. I like to put a couple in a snack sized baggie and keep out at night for sudden snack urges.
