I have no idea if something like this was already added - I didn't read all 500+ comments, but here goes: Whizz up two cans of drained chickpeas in the food processor with a bit of lemon juice, olive oil, salt, and pepper until it's a little chunky. Then spread on crostini toasts or (my favorite) char-grilled ciabatta slices and pour a little more olive oil over the top. Sprinkle with some fresh thyme and sea salt. It's simple, cheap, healthy, and delicious. You can also do this with white beans or eggplant, or a combo of whatever you like.

I love to make a quick bean dip to serve with pita chips that I make myself (read: incredibly cheap). I cook a few cups of black beans. Add a package of Simply Organic fajita seasoning. Cut up a few tomatoes, green onions, and parsley... add it all to the beans - let it simmer for 10-15 minutes. Cut up pita bread into bite sized triangles, brush with olive oil, and bake in the oven for 20-25 minutes at 350deg.

I like your organic unbleached white flour but I would like more value for my money. Why don't you sell larger bags of flour at a cost savings for your customers. I like to make bread
