Help with side dish for Bike Club potluck

MINIskirt: what would you eat with those potatoes. They sound yummy!!

Mac & Cheese sounds good. On the menu at TGI Fridays they have 'grown up mac & cheese'. Its made with 3 or 4 cheeses, mushrooms, onions, some crumbled bacon.

The hummus recipe is pretty much the way I make it, but one note:

I like to add different herbs. Rosemary, basil, cumin, etc. It's good with wheat crackers too.

I'm going to copy and save that flafal recipe. It sounds good and easy! do they freeze well? & would you freeze them before or after cooking??

TIA,

Flafal is a middle-eastern dish made out of chick peas aka garbonzo beans.

It is vegan!!somewhat spicy not hot, just interesting spices and though totally non-meat, its very filling. Its sort of like a vegan version of meat balls without the meat and no tomato sauce (or creme sauce for that matter). I think Trader Joe has a mix in a box for sale. So check it out, it may have a picture on the box.

The other question, can you freeze it. I would imagnie you could do to its low moisture content. Having said that I think it would be better baked first then frozen. Mine never lasted long enough to be frozen. I put the left overs in a zip lock bag, then it disappears? Usually in a salad. yummo
