I have no problem with buying anything used....even purchased a coffee maker at the local thrift with no problems. My husband hasn't died yet. Bleach and Vinegar clean just fine...

I just purchased last week a Calphalon roasting pan for $10...that looked brand new! just a few scratches on the outside. They said they get some items from Target and I found it on their website for $50 - so I don't think it's Calphalon's top of the line, but still!
and I'd never have all the glass serving pieces I have if it weren't for thrift stores, yard sales and even "antique" stores.

lasagna made with tortillas instead of noodles...

I've made a similar recipe and topped it with apple slices that had been sauteed in butter with dash of cinnamon on top... yum.

stews or soups with crusty, buttered bread....

hummus and gyro's.....the salads sound awesome also!
haven't had much Mediterranean food....need a cookbook!

chili!!

These do sound good! will have to try them for the holidays.
