Saturday Pancakes

My favorite sister is visiting for the day, so we made a double batch of pancakes this week. I remember making double batches for just the two of us back when we were first married, but now I can't figure out how we ate so much.

In other news, a Food and Cooking Q&A site is now in beta. I've used other sites with the same model, and it really is the best way to get great answers to your questions quickly. Granted, it depends on having a community of experts willing and able to answer the submitted questions.

white bean salad with feta-pita crisps

Hi All. Here's another WW recipe we eat all the time. It's vegetarian and perfect for summer.

ingredients:
1 (15.5 oz) can great northern beans
1 red pepper, chopped
1/2 small red onion
1/4 c. chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley (i always use dried....it's fine)
2 tsp olive oil
lemon juice to taste (i would estimate either 1/2 a lemon or maybe two long squirts from a lemon juice bottle)
black pepper
salt
4 (7") whole wheat pitas
1 c. crumbled feta (reduced fat if you care)

directions:
pre-heat the broiler
toss together beans, bell pepper, onion, parsley, lemon, pepper and salt
lay pitas on a baking sheet and sprinkle evenly with feta
broil 5 inches from the heat until the cheese is melted and pitas are crisp (i like it when they get a little burney- 3 to 5 minutes-ish)
cut pitas into wedges, serve with the bean salad on the side
we like to spoon the salad over each crisp and eat it that way. all together it's very very delicious.
