Betsy, NY (9:11:37 pm) : From: Leanda Goss ldgoss@METRONET.COM To: Multiple recipients of list EAT-L EAT-L@LISTSERV.VT.EDU 7 Layer Mexican Dip 2 Large Can Refried Beans 2 Cans Jalapenos -- or chilies 2 Tomatoes -- or more 1 Onion -- (optional) 16 Ounces Sour Cream 2 To 4 Avacados 2 Packages Taco Seasoning Shredded Cheese -- (Mozzarlla and chedd 1 To 2 Cans Olives Mix the refried beans and taco seasoning together (I also mix the chili's in with this, but some people put the chilis as a layer) Mix this really well (I used a food processor, but today I am going to use my mixer). This is the first layer. Put a layer of sour cream on top of the refried beans, taco seasoning and chilis. Next put a layer of well mixed/mushed avacados (you need enough to cover the pan, I use a cake pan normally) on top of everything else Next sprinkle cheeses on top (I just thought about it and I put the avacado first and then the sour cream, but I suppose it doesnt matter). I think the more cheese the better myself *grin*! Next cut up tomatoes and add as many as you like, which I like to use at least 2 cut up tomatoes. Last put chopped up olives. Put in the oven until the cheese is melted. I use a low heat so that everything else warms up. Last but not least pull out the chips and dip! Everyone really enjoys this dip. I hope you do too. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Betsy, NY (9:16:33 pm) : Healthy Choice Crab Dip 1/4 cup nonfat yogurt or sour cream 2 tbsp. fat free mayonnaise 1 8-oz.

Yield: 1 dozen pretzels 1 package active dry yeast 1 cup warm water 2 1/2 to 3 cups all-purpose flour 2 tbsp salad oil 1 tbsp sugar 6 tbsp. baking soda in 6 cups water coarse salt In a bowl, dissolve yeast in water. Add 1 1/2 cups of flour, the oil and sugar. Beat for about 3 minutes to make a smooth batter. Gradually stir enough of the remaining flour (about 1 cup) to form a soft dough. Turn out on floured board and knead until smooth and satiny (about 5 minutes), adding flour as needed to prevent sticking. Place dough in a greased bowl, turn to grease top. Cover and let rise in a warm place until doubled (about 1 hour). Punch dough down, divide into twelve pieces. Shape each into a smooth ball by gently kneading. Then roll each into a smooth rope about 18 inches long, and twist into a pretzel shape. (form as if making a heart shape, and twist rope around itself at the top of the heart and put ends underneath the bottom of the 'heart')Place slightly apart on a greased baking sheet. Let rise uncovered until puffy, about 25 minutes. Meanwhile, in a 3 qt. enameled or steel pan (not aluminum) bring soda water mixture to a boil, adjust heat to keep water boiling gently. With a slotted spatula, lower 1 pretzel at a time into pan. Let simmer for 10 seconds on each side, then lift from water, drain briefly, the sprinkle with coarse salt and let stand, uncovered till all have been simmered. Bake in a preheated 425 degree oven for 12 to 15 minutes or until golden brown. Transfer to racks, serve warm with butter or mustard. Or let cool completely, wrap airtight, and freeze.
