Sunday Morning Coffee Cake Recipe - Breakfast.Food.com - 185681. Mom's Zucchini Bread Recipe. Easy Apple Cinnamon Muffins Recipe. Super simple: black bean & chickpea dip with lime | eat and relish. I’ll admit that a grayish-brown blob of bean dip is not exactly sexy. You know what else isn’t sexy? Me, after six months of bypassing the gym on Sundays in favor of hedonistically scarfing piles of hot wings and washing them down with most-definitely-not-low-calorie-heady-Colorado-brewskis. And to add insult to all of that injury, said hot wings were first always drug through a pile of creamy blue cheese dressing. Like butter and fried chicken skin needed to be made any less nutritious. I mean, I’m not going to cry about it or anything – it was football season, for Pete’s sake – and if I can’t have my football with a side of hot wings, well, then….I can barely take any football at all.

This Sunday, I am at a bit of a crossroads with the two final contenders. One one side of the field I’ve got my roots, and on the other I’ve got my adult branches and leaves. But back to my unsexy bean dip. Suddenly these beans are looking a lot more seductive, wouldn’t you say? Like this: Like Loading... Homemade Wheat Pasta (Without a Machine!) I’m going to let you in on a little secret. You know that pasta machine you’ve been coveting? The one that makes rolling and cutting pasta incredibly easy? The one that you’ve tried to find cheaply on Amazon or Ebay, but never actually purchased? (Or, in my case, the one you looked at but figured, “I’m not going to buy it now when I have a wedding registry to put all the kitchen tools I’ve ever wanted onto”?) Well, you don’t need it. Or, at least, you can get by without it. Like many kitchen tools that seem like necessities, you can make pretty darn good pasta without a special machine.

But I digress. The trick to getting your dough really thin is to let it rest periodically while you’re rolling it. Once you’ve rolled your dough as thin as you can, roll it up into a spiral. It really couldn’t be easier. Whole Wheat Pasta INGREDIENTS: 2 cups 100% whole wheat flour 2 eggs 1/4 tsp salt Water, as needed DIRECTIONS: Blend together flour, eggs and salt.
