In a medium bowl, sift together cocoa, flour, baking soda, and salt. Set
aside.

In a small bowl, mix together soy milk and vinegar. In a blender or food
processor, combine 1/4 cup of the milk-vinegar mixture with the tofu and
blend until smooth.

Transfer tofu mixture to a large bowl, add sugar, and beat until slightly
frothy. Add oil, applsauce, water, vanilla, and remaining soy-vinegar
mixture, and beat until thoroughly mixed. Add dry ingredients and mix
until
just combined. [There may be a few tiny lumps—that’s okay.] Cover bowl
and chill dough in the refrigerator for at least two hours, or up to 3
days.

Preheat oven to 350 degrees and spray or lightly oil a baking sheet. Drop
rounded teaspoonfuls of cookie dough onto baking sheet, about 2 inches
apart. Bake in upper third of oven for 10 minutes. Remove from pan and
cool on rack. Repeat with remaining dough. Sprinkle cooled cookies with
powdered sugar, if desired.

NOTE: Cider vinegar may be replaced with Raspberry vinegar

1 c Navy beans; dried OR
3 Cans great northern beans;
-15-oz size

1 Butternut squash; seeds
-removed and cut in chunks
1/2 lb Boneless smoked ham; diced
Salt and pepper to taste

Rinse dried navy beans in cold water, pick over to remove foreign
particles, and soak covered in water overnight. Drain beans and place
them in a large saucepan with 2 1/2 quarts water, bay leaves, and
salt pork. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and simmer, covered, until
tender, 1 to 1 1/2 hours, adding water if necessary. (If using canned
beans, the above step is unnecessary, since beans are already cooked.)

In a medium-size skillet, heat olive oil and saute onion, green
pepper, garlic, oregano, ham, and tomato sauce for 10 minutes. In a
separate saucepan, boil squash chunks for 5 minutes. Remove from
water, adding same water to tomato mixture. Peel squash. When beans
are tender, add tomato mixture, potato, salt, pepper, and squash.
Continue cooking another 30 minutes. Remove salt pork and discard.
Serve in soup bowls. Serves 6. Source: The Columbia Restaurant

Title: Christmas Boxes
Categories: Cookies
Yield: 1 servings

Fast Fancy Butter Cookie Recipe

For each box, cut out and bake 5 squares of the same size. Cut one
larger for top. Trim all edges square. Use confectioners icing to
“glue” 4 squares together for sides. Trim 5th for bottom and glue in
place with icing. Trim larger square to sit on top. Roll out square
gumdrops in sugar until thin; cut into shapes and attach to box with
icing. At this point you can put something inside the box before you
glue the top on. I just put in small goodies, like other little
cookies. Then I glue on the top and the kids have to eat them to get
inside. The kids go nuts over these little surprises.
