PHO RECIPE

http://www.dadcooksdinner.com/2011/01/pressure-cooker-pho-bo-vietnamese-beef.html And, while I'm at it...Pho is pronounced "fuh" (rhymes with duh), not "faux" (rhymes with sew, a needle pulling thread). Here's an entertaining video explaining the difference. When it comes to cooking, Pho really is as simple as it seems. The complexity comes from the combination of the ingredients; if you have a good beef broth, the rest of Pho is easy. If you have a pressure cooker, it doesn't even take that much time. *If you don't make your own beef broth, then you really will have a Faux Pho.

White Bean Dip (EASY!)

I made this dip yesterday for a quick and easy appetizer - I brought chips made of quinoa/flax seed/sesame - it was gobbled up!! White Bean Dip By Catherine Newman Inexpensive, nearly instantaneous, and deliciously wholesome, White Bean Dip is a creamy, tasty alternative to hummus or pinto bean dips. As my 8-year-old son put it affectionately, "It's really our main dip." And dinner's a party when appetizers become the main course. Note on Dippers: Serve the most wholesome dippable food you can get away with: whole grain breadsticks or crackers (Ak-Mak and Finn Crisps are brands that we like, though they need to be broken into pieces); strips of whole wheat bread or toast; pita chips; whole grain tortilla chips; and veggies such as snow peas, raw carrots, bell peppers, and celery sticks, or lightly steamed broccoli, sugar snap peas and green beans.
