As a pizza topping, using pitas for pizza dough if time is tight; as a topping for baked potatoes - much healthier; for dips and spreads of course; as a dressing for a quick potato salad. So versatile. I usually make my own, and sometimes sub black beans or black eyed peas for chickpeas, depending on what I have on hand.MizzBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09817194876351750950noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6679885512066013049.post-40070448099991106722010-01-15T01:44:42.235-08:002010-01-15T01:44:42.235-08:00Green tea instead of soy milk in smoothies.Green tea instead of soy milk in smoothies.Carmennoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6679885512066013049.post-45077338726179648672010-01-14T21:35:21.694-08:002010-01-14T21:35:21.694-08:00Subbing romaine lettuce leaves for tortillas comes...Subbing romaine lettuce leaves for tortillas comes to mind.dsharp88https://www.blogger.com/profile/14906739511741224130noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6679885512066013049.post-33125293432311667152010-01-14T21:22:44.146-08:002010-01-14T21:22:44.146-08:00Favorite substitute of the moment: phyllo dough fo...Favorite substitute of the moment: phyllo dough for pie crust!<br /><br />PS.
