shared by Steph --this was a favorite appy at a nearby restaurant. I played for a long time to recreate it as closely as possible.
1 can Cannonelli beans (can use white kidney if you can't find cannonellis, but not as good)
4 stalks celery, finely chopped
2 carrots, finely chopped
2 tbsp olive oil
4 tbsp red wine vinegar
Mix those together and chill. Serve topped with
thinly sliced or shredded red onion
shredded red cabbage
crumbled gorgonzola or blue cheese
Serve with toasted bread chunks.
**I like to add more veggies and mince all and stir together and then serve it in a pita for lunch. It makes 5 lunch-sized servings, each 100 calories and 2 ww points.
**Good pureed and served as a dip with pita wedges or tortilla chips too!.

This uses the "juice" from the bean can instead of oil, so it's very low fat!
1 can Garbonzo beans AND their packing juice
1 tbsp chopped garlic
1-2 tbsp lemon juice
Put it all in the blender or food processor and puree until desired consistency. Serve with toasted pita wedges. It's a bit thin, but will thicken in the fridge. You can add more garlic if you like.
I have to double check, but I'm pretty sure it's 1 point for 1/2 cup.

Serving Size : 16
1 tablespoon yeast
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon salt
2 tablespoons margarine -- softened
1 cup warm water
2 3/4 cups flour
course salt
5 teaspoons baking soda
4 cups water
Put yeast, sugar, salt, margarine, and one cup of the flour into a medium mixing bowl and pour in the warm water. Stir until smooth and yeast begins to bubble. At this point, add the rest of the flour, and stir until it is mixed in. When the mixture is too stiff to stir with a spoon, begin kneading in the bowl. Knead dough until smooth and until it no longer sticks to the bowl or your hands. Allow dought to rise to about double its height.
When dough has nearly risen enough, preheat oven to 475 F, grease a cookie sheet (grease VERY well), and prepare the baking soda-water mixture. Mix baking soda with water in a non-aluminum saucepan and bring to a boil.
When dough is risen enough, punch down and knead for a minute or so. Then divide the dough and roll six-inch sticks with your hands to about a half-inch diameter, or roll 12-15-inch long rolls to make into the pretzel shape. Allow the sticks or pretzels to sit for about one or two minutes. PLace them into the boiling water-baking soda mixture one or two at a time. Let the pretzels boil for 1 minute and 10 seconds, then flip them over and boil for another 1 minute and 10 seconds. This boiling step gives them a firm skin and adds some flavour. Not boiling long enough leaves them too soft and allows them to rise too much. Boiling too long makes them tough.
Fish them out of the water with a slotted spoon, let them drip off and place them onto the well-greased cookie sheet. When all pretzes or sticks are done, sprinkle the course salt on them. Bake for 12 to 15 minutes or until sticks or pretzels are golden brown.
Makes about 16 sticks. You can double the recipe in proportion.
Delicious, soft and chewy!!! Just like the ones from vendors on the street in New York City!!
Not bad reheated in the microwave the next day.

4 cups Golden Grahams cereal
2 1/2 cups white chocolate
1 1/4 cups peanuts
Put the chocolate in a large microwave safe mixing bowl. Microwave on full power for 1-2 minutes, or until melted. Stir in cereal and peanuts. Don't worry about crushing the cereal as you stir. Spread onto wax paper coated cookie sheet. Allow to cool for a few hours. When cool, break into small pieces and store in airtight container or ziploc bag.
Very similar to Clodhoppers Candy. For more similarities, use crushed cashews instead of peanuts, and add a drop of vanilla to melted chocolate

These are great, they are quick to make and taste really good. They also freeze well.
Makes 18 bars, 2 points per bar
2-1/2 cup wheat chexs( slightly crushed) (or other cereal like Rice Crispies --readjust points)
2 cups oatmeal (I think old fashioned rolled oats work best)
1/2 cup sugar free pancake syrup
1/4 cup brown sugar
1/4 cup natural peanut butter
1/4 cup chocolate chips
1 tsp. vanilla
1 tsp. cinnamon (optional)
In a mixing bowl, mix cereal, oatmeal. In a sauce pan, mix brown sugar and corn syrup. Stirring constantly, bring to a boil. Once boiling, remove from heat and add peanut butter, vanilla, and cinnamon, if desired. Then, mix with cereal mixture. Let mixture cool for 10 min, then add chocolate chips. Spread into 13x9" pan. When completely cool, then cut into 18 bars.
