  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.
  • We hope the site problems here are now solved, however, if you still have any issues, please start a ticket in Contact Us

My father discovered an ingenious way of bringing back moisture into stale and old cookies.

He would take the stale cookies and put them into a plastic zipped locked bag, but he would also take a fresh piece of bread and also put it into the bag. Twelve something hours later the cookies would gradually soak up the moisture from the bread and become fresh again.

I'm sure other people have thought of it before, but it was cool when I first saw it.

Pizza flavored chickpea snacks:

*Note - Recipe assumes chickpeas are dried and bagged, rather than precooked/canned.

Oregano powder/flakes
Salt

1. Pre-Soak a quantity of chickpeas overnight - at least 12 hours

3. In a separate cooking vessel, add tomato sauce, then equal amounts of garlic and onion powders, then basil, oregano and salt to taste
4. Simmer for 15 minutes to half an hour, stirring to make sure all chickpeas are well covered with spicy sauce mixture.
5. (optional) strain chickpeas out of saucepan (do not wash) and add to food dehydrator
6. (or) Keep simmering until there is very little liquid left, then add to food dehydrator.

Pineapple-banana-walnut-pecan-bread


Ingredients

  • 2 eggs
  • 1 1/2 cups white flour
  • 3/4 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
  • 3 very ripe bananas, coarsely mashed
  • 6 oz. canned crushed pineapple, drain liquid
  • 1 can coconut cream or coconut milk (you only need 1/2 the can)
  • 1/4 tsp of vanilla
  • walnuts and pecan pieces
-Preheat oven to 375F. Grease a standard loaf pan

-Beat eggs in small container and set aside

-Drain the canned pineapple, but set aside a lil' bit of the juice

-In another bowl combine dry ingredients

-In a second bowl, mash the bananas, then add the eggs, vanilla, coconut cream/milk and mix well. Slowly add dry ingredients to wet mixture (note: when baking, always add dry ingredients to wet) and fold in.

-Add a few spoons of the pineapple juice (I added 5), mix in, then lastly, add the nuts

-Pour batter into pan. Bake for 50-60mins and voila!


*I didn't add any sugar b/c you get enough sweetness from the pineapple juice and banana. You can always tweak recipes to your own taste. :)

1 package Silken Lite tofu
2 tablespoon cocoa powder
1 teaspoon of vanilla extract
1/3 cup maple syrub or agave nectar

Blend all the ingredients until smooth. Refrigerate until chilled.

I have read a few chocolate silk pie recipes that also use tofu.
If you do make this recipe, I'd love to see a picture to hear how you liked it. :)
