8 ounces cream cheese
1/4 cup plain yogurt
2 tablespoons honey
1/4 teaspoon coriander seed powder
1/4 teaspoon cinnamon powder
1/8 teaspoon nutmeg ground

Combine all ingredients in a food processor or blender until smooth. Serve chilled. Makes about 1 1/2 cups.

3 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
1 tablespoon thyme leaf

1 tablespoon poppy seeds 
1 tablespoon oregano leaf
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1 cup olive oil or melted butter or soy spread

flatbread1. Slice the pita bread in half, and then slice it open, so it lies flat. Combine remaining ingredients and brush on cut sides of the pita. Cut the pita in wedges.
2. Place the wedges, cut sides up, on a baking sheet and bake at 300°F until lightly browned and crisp. Remove from the sheet to cool. Makes enough to serve about 4 people.

1 teaspoon thyme leaf
