peppers in food processor; blend to desired smoothness. Transfer to
serving bowl.

desired.
Note: In her column notes, Colombo mentions that chili paste can be
purchased at Oriental food markets. This recipe makes no mention of
chili paste, although it was an ingredient in the Good Neighbor
Szechuan noodles. Seeing as how I think Good Neighbor may have "held
back" a little bit on this recipe (they wouldn't give it out for
years, as it's one of their best sellers), you may also want to
experiment and add a little chili paste to this recipe, which does
have a slight bite to it when purchased at Good Neighbors.
Absolutely great with unsalted blue corn chips! Have eaten many times
but haven't made at home yet. It's delicious, and sells for
$4.50/lb. at Good Neighbors.
From Alice Colombo's 01/27/93 "Cook's Corner" column in "The
(Louisville, KY) Courier-Journal." Pg. C7. Requested by Louisvillean
Carol Grady, who wrote: "I am addicted to the wonderful food
available at Louisville's Good Neighbor Foods Co-op Cafe, but I know
I can't ask you to obtain recipes for all of their creations. Let's
start with three of my favorites: hummus, Szechuan noodles and maple
pumpkin pie." Alice Colombo responded: "I have to agree with you -
all are winners." Posted by Cathy Harned.

Food Tips of the Week
A few tips on healthy eatingIf you enjoy eating, but want to get in shape and improve your overall vitality, then, as most people know, you need to start a thoughtfully prepared well-balanced meal plan. In a perfect world, this needs to contain 5 standard portions of grains, fruit and vegetables daily and embrace the right proportion of food types.
Some lower carb diet tips:
* Use reduced carbohydrate chocolate for cookies and muffins. If you have converted your best loved chocolate chip cookie or chocolate muffins recipe using soya flour, you really shouldn't add in those high carbohydrate full-sugar chocolate. Chop up a reduced carbohydrate choccie bar into small pieces and use that in its place.
Foods containing allyl sulfides
( includes pickled shallots, chives and spring onions)
The onion, leek and garlic range of vegetables is rich in allyl sulfides, a chemical which experts believe might be linked to a reduced risk of stomach and colon cancer.
Even though there is precious little definitive proof published, allyl sulphides are also believed to help with colds, arteriosclerosis and fatigue.
Foods containing allyl sulfides also have a low calorie count, so you should add them to your diet system.
