Hello Eileen,
Perhaps this?
Phaed
Moroccan-Spiced Cold Tomato Soup
1 small onion, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
1 teaspoon paprika
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
1/4 teaspoon ground cumin
Scant 1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 (14- to 16-oz) can whole tomatoes in juice, drained and juices reserved
1 3/4 cups chicken broth (14 fl oz)
2 teaspoons honey
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro
1/2 teaspoon fresh lemon juice, or to taste
Garnish: lemon slices
Cook onion in oil with spices in a 3-quart heavy saucepan over moderate
heat, stirring occasionally, until onion is softened and begins to brown,
4 to 5 minutes. Coarsely chop tomatoes and add to onion mixture with
reserved juices, broth, honey, 1 tablespoon parsley, and 1 tablespoon
cilantro, then bring to a boil. Transfer soup to a metal bowl set in a
larger bowl of ice and cold water. Cool soup, stirring occasionally,
until cold, 15 to 20 minutes. Stir in lemon juice and salt and pepper
to taste, then stir in remaining parsley and cilantro.
Makes 4 servings or about 5 cups.

Trinity Square Cafe Moroccan Tomato Soup
Categories: Soup/stew
Yield: 6 servings
2 tb Olive oil
1 Onion, chopped
5 Cloves garlic, minced
1 cn Tomatoes (28 oz)
1 c Peanut butter
1 ts Cumin
1 tb Hot pepper sauce
2 tb Cayenne
1 tb Chili powder
2 tb White vinegar
1 ts Salt
1 ts Pepper

In a large sauce pan, heat oil and fry onion and garlic until golden brown.
Place the tomatoes and their liquid in a bowl, and crush the tomatoes with
a potato masher or a spoon, breaking them into small pieces. Add the tomatoes
and their liquid to the onions, reduce heat to very low, add peanut butter,
and stir until well combined. Add cumin, hot sauce, cayenne, chili, vinegar,
salt, pepper, sugar, tomato paste and water, and stir until well combined.
Cook over low heat at a bare simmering for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring
frequently. (This soup burns very easily, so keep the heat low and don't
allow it to come to a full boil.)

Hello Shauna,
Below are the only two recipes that I can find for Texas egg rolls. The second one
doesn't have the hamburger, but it sounded interesting, so I included it anyhow.
Phaed
Texas Egg Rolls
Ingredients :
1/2 lb. ground beef
1/4 c. chopped onion
2 tsp. chopped green pepper
1/2 of 16 oz. can refried beans
1/4 c. shredded Cheddar cheese
1 tbsp. catsup
1 1/2 tsp. ground cumin
48 wonton skins
Cooking oil for deep fat frying
Taco sauce
Preparation :
For filling: In a large skillet cook ground beef, onion and
green pepper until meat is brown and vegetables are tender. Drain.
Stir beans, cheese, catsup, chili powder and cumin into meat
mixture. Position wonton with 1 point to you. Spoon a generous
teaspoon of filling across the center of the skin. Fold bottom
point of skin over filling. Fold side corners over, forming an
envelope shape. Roll up skin toward remaining corner. Moisten
point; press to seal. Repeat with remaining filling and skins. Fry
egg rolls, a few at a time, in deep hot oil (375) about 1 minute on
each side or until golden. Use a slotted spoon to remove egg rolls.
Drain on paper towel. Serve with taco sauce. Makes 48.
-------------------------------------------------------
Texas Egg Rolls
8 ounces cream cheese
12 jalapenos, chopped
1 pound egg roll wrappers or large wonton skins
Oil for frying
Small amount of water mixed with 1 tablespoon flour
Mix jalapenos with cream cheese.
Place small amount on wrapper, roll up eggroll style and seal the tip
with a drop of the water-flour mixture. Continue until mixture is all
gone.
Place in refrigerator for 2 hours. Heat oil to 350-375 and cook about
4 to 5 minutes or until golden brown. Cool 5 minutes. Filling will be
hot. Serve with jalapeno jelly.
Jalapeno Pepper Jelly
3 green bell peppers, minced
8 ounces canned diced jalapenos
11/2 cups distilled white vinegar
61/2 cups white sugar
1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper
6 ounces liquid pectin
5 drops green food coloring
In a large, stainless steel saucepan, combine peppers, vinegar, sugar,
and cayenne pepper. Cook over medium high heat.
Stir frequently until mixture begins to boil.
Stir in pectin; boil 5 minutes longer, stirring constantly, and mix
in food coloring. Skim off foam, and remove from heat.
Ladle into sterilized jars. Seal, and process in a boiling-water
canner for 5 minutes.

Hello Stephanie,
See below.
Phaed
Blackberry Doobie
A blackberry doobie is blackberries with dumplings. Doobies are good summer
desserts because you don't have to turn on the oven.
Makes 6 to 8 servings
4 pints fresh blackberries
3/4 cup sugar
1/2 cup water
4 tablespoons (1/2 stick) butter, cut into pieces
2 tablespoons cornstarch dissolved in 1/4 cup water
Dumplings
2 cups self-rising flour
2 tablespoons sugar
1/2 cup vegetable shortening
2/3 cup milk
In a deep 12-inch skillet, toss the berries, sugar, water, and butter.
Bring to a simmer over medium heat, stirring often. Reduce the heat to
low and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir in the dissolved cornstarch and cook
until the juices thicken, about 1 minute.
Meanwhile, make the dumplings: In a medium bowl, mix the flour and sugar.
Add the shortening. Using a fork or a pastry blender, cut the shortening
into the flour until the mixture resembles coarse crumbs. Using a fork,
stir in the milk. Using a scant tablespoon of dough for each dumpling,
roll into 24 balls and place on a baking sheet.
Drop the dumplings into the simmering berries. Cover tightly and cook
until the dumplings are cooked through, about 20 minutes. Serve hot,
spooned into individual bowls.

Hi Gina,
I cannot locate a recipe for "Italian star bread" or for "Italian twist bread."
There are lots of requests for this recipe on the Internet on various message
boards, but no one seems to have been able to locate the recipe. There is no
"star bread" or "twist bread" listed in my Italian food dictionary, so if this
is an authentic Italian recipe rather than a creation of Italian bakeries in
Massachusetts, then it must have yet another name.
I did find the below recipe called "Sicilian twist bread". See below. I have
no idea whether it is the same thing.
