Someone requested a pita bread recipe the other day and I said that I would give them a recipe; however, I cannot seem to find the thread. Here is a soft taco recipe that could be used as pita bread:

Bean Flour Torillas

1/3 cup light bean flour

1/2 cup cornstarch

2 Tablespoons tapioca flour

1/2 teaspoon salt

2 eggs or 3 egg whites, or 1/2 cup liquid egg subsitute

1 1/2 cups water

Oil for brushing skillet

In a medium bowl, place the bean flour, cornstarch, tapioca flour, and salt. Whisk together. Add the eggs and beat together until smooth. Slowly beat in the water. Let rest in the fridge for at least 20 minutes. Heat a 9" skillet or frypan over high heat, brushing with oil. Be sure it is hot enough for water to dance on the surface before starting to cook the tortillas. Spoon in about 4 tablespoons of batter or enough to cover the bottom of the skillet. Cook until the bottom of the tortilla is golden brown and the edges curl and the top seems dry, Turn and barely cook the other side.

This recipe is from "The Gluten-Free Gourmet Cooks Fast and Healthy" by Bette Hagman, p. 235.

Carrie, thanx for these recipes!! I think I will make some chicken soup w/that recipe this weekend since I was going to make some broth anyway. I'm psyched to see Mrs. Dash on it too! I didn't know that was safe.

Homemade Sweet Potato Fries

2 large sweet potatoes, cut into thin slices

Mrs. Dash Original Spice, or your favorite spice

Heinz ketchup

olive oil

Rub olive oil on a baking pan, then place the sweet potatoes on the pan and sprinkle the spice on top. Bake at about 350 for approximately 15 minutes. These will burn fast so check quite freqently. Serve with ketchup.

This is great to try if you start to feel sick from a virus or a bacterial infection.

Just review the recipies, I was wondering if a motivated person on the board would like to compile a cook book, Ginko's could put it together and we could buy if from that motivated person. Recipies with brand names to make it easy, would be a wonderful help to new and old members here.

As well, as a little profit for the effort. I would buy it in heart beat.

Oh, yeah, that's a great idea. (not me, I'm spending all my free time putting on a wedding in THREE MONTHS, for 500 of my closest and dearest friends ..... take a deep breath, Lisa.)

Any takers.

I would love to write a cookbook Right now is also not a good time for me though. I probably wouldn't be able to seriously sit down and get a book together for a few more years. I am also getting married fairly soon and I am trying to find a job while working at the same time! Ah!

Right now I am just glad to share all these recipes with everyone. If anyone else is interested in getting a cookbook together then I would be willing to let them use my recipes.
