Roll each into 12-14 inch round (can do other sizes or shapes to fit your
pan or sheet). Set aside for 15 minutes to rest. Preheat oven to 375 F.


                                      To top the pizzas:

(about ˝ can), then spread it on the crusts. Top with pizza toppings, and
one can of drained pineapple tidbits.
If using cheese, top with 1 lb. grated cheese.

Bake one at a time for 15-25 minutes until desired doneness is reached.  Eat
and enjoy!

                                          Russian Tea

                                        CHOCOLATE CAKE

1 1/2 cups white sugar
1 cup all-purpose flour
3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa
2 tsp. baking powder
1 tsp. baking soda
1/4 tsp. salt
4 large eggs, separated
2 large egg white
3/4 cup vegetable oil
1/2 cup water
1 tsp. pure vanilla extract

Preheat oven to 350 degrees.  Spray a 9-inch round cake pan with oil.  Dust
with flour, tapping excess out.

Sift together 1 cup sugar, flour, cocoa, baking powder, baking soda, and
salt.  Set aside.

In another bowl, beat the egg yolks on high speed.  Turn mixer to low and
add oil, water, and vanilla.  Gradually add the dry ingredients, and when
almost incorporated, turn the speed to medium and beat until well combined.

Whip the 6 egg whites until soft peaks form.  Start on medium speed and
increase speed as peaks begin to form.  Gradually pour in the remaining 1/2
cup white sugar and whip until whites are shiny and firm, but not stiff.
With a large rubber spatula, fold 1/4 of the whites into the chocolate
mixture, then scrape the chocolate mixture back into the whites, quickly
folding until completely incorporated.

Pour batter into the prepared pan.  Bake until the edges of the cake pull
away from the pan and a tester gently inserted into the center of the cake,
comes out clean (about 30 minutes).  Cool on a rack.  Invert onto a rack.

FOUR BEAN SALAD

1 can green beans
1 can yellow wax beans
1 can kidney beans
1 can garbanzo beans

Drain and pour beans into large bowl.

Add:

1 onion, chopped (sweet is best)
1 can artichoke hearts (drained; water packed)
3 cups whole wheat pasta (choose your favorite fancy shape) --- this
ingredient is optional but gives nice variety in texture
salt to taste
Italian Seasoning to taste (or Dill Weed)
juice of 1 lemon (although I usually use two)
1 tsp. olive oil (optional) vary this according to your tastes and the amount of fat you desire in the recipe.

Stir together.  Serve immediately, or for enhanced flavor marinate in the
refrigerator for several hours.

***Sometimes I use corn pasta, soy pasta, etc. instead of the whole wheat pasta.
