Hi TulsaTime: Sounds delicious--I'll try it!!! Thanks

Thanks for the recipe that would be a great one to take to an outdoor gatherning..no mayo to worry about spoiling. I wonder how adding a can of beans would taste.

I didn't know we could share recipes on this board...this isn't a recipe but a way to get a bit of extra calcium with your morning coffee. I put a spoonful of blackstrap molasses along with milk in mine. Don't cringe, its good. The milk balances the acidity of the coffee while the molasses give it a nice gingerbread taste along with calcium, iron and several other nutrients. For breakfast i've also started using a cup of yogurt on my cereal instead of milk. have agood day...phyllis

I don't know but i would give it a try! I wish I could kick the sugar habit...but it will never happen...

Phyllis I will give that a try...my mom will probably love that idea!

I started eating hummus a while back and am now hooked on it.. It's easy to make and is a good source of calcium and healthy fats.

Hummus

1 can garbanzo beans....drain liquid into a cup
1/4 c. tahini...sesame seed paste...i get it at a health food store
2 cloves garlic..peeled..more if you want it real garliclly
2T. lemon juice
1/2-1 t. cumin
1-2 T. olive oil
pepper to taste

Put everything into a food processor and mix adding bean liquid as needed to make a smooth diplike consistency.

I make my own chips...cut pita bread or flour tortillias into pieces and bake for 10 min. at 350. They are lower in fat than regular chips and keep well in a zip lock bag. Enjoy...phyllis
