Hmm this sounds really interesting....gonna have to give these a try. 

Oh I`m surprised to see a post from you!  We don`t often entice you out of hiding!

Keep up the good work! All the best for a Happy Holiday season and you will definitely see me in the New Year.

Jo....actually sounds kinda good....maybe trying this for snacks at Christmas....Patti K.

Here is the recipe I was speaking about at the pot luck- remember I have not made it yet myself but it sounds good!!

salt and vinegar chick peas

2 cups (or whole can) of chickpeas, drained and rinsed

3-4  c white vinegar

sprinkle of salt or to taste

dab of olive oil

bring chick peas and vinegar to a boil in a medium pot

remove from heat and let soak in pot for 30 mins

preheat oven to 425

lay tin foil over a cookie sheet

when chickpeas have soaked, drain and put back in the pot

toss with olive oil

lay in a single layer on the cookie sheet and sprinkle with salt

put in the oven for  20 mins

flip chickpeas

bake for another 20 mins

keep an eye on them for another  5 mins to make sure they done' burn (this happens fast if it's going to)

I agree 110%....for those that didn't make it out last night...it was a wonderful "gab fest" with lots of good WLS food!!  I'll post my Bean Salad recipe here...this makes a very large salad...

6-8 cans of your favourite beans, plus a can each of yellow and green, all drained well and rinsed, plus sliced thinly a pepper (green or red), and a sweet onion.  Mix well.

for this much I tripled the liquid...1 cup of white vinegar, 1 cup splenda, 1/2 cup canola oil, a good liberal shake of black pepper....shake up very well, and pour over your salad

You can personalize this bean salad...but this is what I use...It lasts quite well in the fridge up to a week. 

Enjoy!!  Patti K.
