Hi!  How important is it to add the soy flour?  I have never heard of soy flour before and I am not sure how readily available it is.

Kevin and I like hummus. I really want to make your recipe but you didn't say what size of canned chick peas. Is it 15 oz. or 28 oz?

---

It is the smaller size.

For this time of year here's something quick and easy:
Nachos Supreme (hubby calls it Nacho Lasagna)

Amounts of ingredients are variable depending on the amount you want to make.  one lb of meat generally makes 4-6 servings in a 9" square pan.

Tostidos scoops
1 lb ground beef
salsa
taco sauce
refried beans
cheese whiz
shredded cheese
sour cream

- Brown the hamburger and drain.  add in approx 1 cup of salsa (enough to coat all the meat.) and simmer, stirring occassionally. 
- Mix together the beans (approx 1/2 can) and cheese whiz.  Microwave to melt (1-2 minutes)
- Lay out the chips bowl side up
- Drizzle 1/2 of the bean/cheese mix over the chips, making sure each has some in it.
- pour meat over the chips evenly.  drizzle taco sauce over it.
- place another layer of chips, bowl side down
-drizzle with remaining beans/cheese
-drizzle taco sauce
-top with shredded cheese

Bake at 350 for approx 15-20 minutes untill it is bubbly.

serve with sour cream to taste

My mother makes a dessert called Chocolate Delight Pie every Thanksgiving and Christmas. It is one of my favorite desserts. Trust me if you make this pie, it will be gone in no time. 

Chocolate Delight Pie

Ingredients~

• 1 package graham cracker crust mix
• 8 ounces cream cheese, softened
• 1 cup confectioners' sugar
• 1 cup non-dairy whipped topping
• 1 package vanilla instant pudding
• 1 package chocolate instant pudding
• 3 cups milk

Preparation:
Make crust according to package directions and press into the bottom of a 9 x 13 x 2-inch pan. Bake at 350 degrees just a few minutes. Mix cream cheese, sugar and whipped topping and pour over crust. Mix puddings and milk and pour over cheese layer. Dot with additional whipped topping. Chill.

Enjoy!!!

Okay, I was at a get-together yesterday and a lady had brought some crackers that were the hit of the party (seriously!). I couldn't stop eating them. They tasted so good that I asked for the recipe. I haven't tried to make them yet myself, but she said it was super easy to make. They are a bit spicy, but taste kind of like focaccia bread, only in cracker form. I don't know what they are called, but I will name them:

                                     

               Foccacia Style Soda Crackers

 

- in a Tupperware style bowl with a tight-lid

mix:

- 1 Pkg. of dry Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing mix

- 2 1/2 T. crushed red pepper flakes

- 1 1/2 cup Canola oil

- add 4 sleeves (1 whole box) soda crackers (like Saltines)

- Put lid on tight

- shake up and down, and side-to-side

- turn over every 30 minutes for the next 2 hours

- No need to bake

- No need to refrigerate

- They will stay good for 2 days

 

--- These tasted great all by themselves, but I imagine they would go well with cheese. Great to take to a pot-luck or to serve as an appetizer. ---

They sound very good.  After all the shaking, they are still in cracker form?

LOL... when I read the lady's recipe, I kind of thought the same thing. There were a few crackers that were broken in half, but most of the crackers were all still intact. I can't wait to try to make them myself, but I will take the side of caution and shake them gently ;-)

This is a great quick dessert

I never would eat cakes, even as a child, because I didn't like frostings.  But about 2 years ago someone informed me that the frosting on Red Velvet Cake is made with cream cheese and I fell in love with it.  I only eat it during the Christmas holidays but I love it ;+}

 

Red Velvet Cake

Makes one 3-layer cake

Ingredients: 

1/2 cup shortening
1 1/2 cups sugar
2 eggs
1 teaspoon vanilla
1 tablespoon butter flavoring
1 full bottle red food coloring (1/2 oz)
3 tablespoons cocoa
2 1/2 cups sifted cake flour
1 cup buttermilk
1 teaspoon salt
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon baking soda
enough cream cheese frosting to cover 3 layer cake

Preparation and baking directions:

Cream shortening, sugar, eggs and flavors.

Make a paste of cocoa and food coloring. Add to first mixture.

Alternately add flour and buttermilk and continue to mix.

In small bowl, mix baking soda and vinegar, then add to batter - blend.

Bake in three 9 inch pans for 20-25 minutes at 350° degrees.

Let cool completely.

Using your favorite cream cheese frosting, cover the top of two cakes and stack on top of each other. (I use the Betty Crocker's Rich & Creamy Cream Cheese frosting).  I guess a true chef/baker would also make the frosting from scratch.

Place third cake on top, then complete cake by frosting sides and top.

During the holidays we add a festive looking cake topper.

I hope you had a good weekend--I missed you on the boards but I wasn't on them that much this weekend because of going out of town and cleaning.  ~Gigi
