Have you ever had pita bread go stale and think of throwing it out? STOP RIGHT THERE! Why waste food when you can spread it with margarine(the "healthier one") and sprinkle it with your favorite spice (ie. Miss Dash) and pop it in the oven?
It's soooo tasty and you can make it as spicy as you like.
Bon appetit!

Mango Lassi (my way)
Well, this is one of my favorites, which I discovered at a small vegetarian/cult restaurant near my alma mater. They sold this delicious mango lassi (at 4 bucks! argh!) so I decided to make it myself. All you need is :
*mango nectar (get the one from Produce Depot or one that is imported from the Middle east since it's the REAL THICK mango nectar and it's only 1.99 at Produce Depot for 2L (I think)).
*Evaporated milk (regular milk or yogurt will do - there are some salty yogurt drinks in ethnic food stores)
So, just pour a small amount of nectar and milk as you see fit...enjoy!

Tortilla Soup
I went to my favorite Mexican restaurant with a friend of mine and she ordered this soup (who's name I can't recall) that had a blend of tomatoes, sour cream, quacomole and tortilla chips. I went home and tried to concoct it using my own ingredients:
Ingredients:
*one can of campbells (or no name brand will do) of tomato soup
* one can of milk
*shredded mozzarella cheese
*sourcream
*guacomole
*tortilla chips
Directions:
*heat the soup as directed
*remove from heat and add cheese, sourcream, guacomole(personally, I would get the rippened guacomole) and tortilla chips...mmm!
