Girls in white dresses and blue satin sashes? No thanks. My favorite things usually involve food. Sing that tune again but this time use these words:

Hummus and pita chips topped with paprika; real and organic, Holy Eureka!

Lol…. I had fun with that. So anyway, I love to make hummus, because even the best store brands are full of junk, and twice as many calories. I prefer this recipe below, only 35 calories per tablespoon, all Real Food and Organic! It’s adapted from 100 Days of Real Food.

Here’s a link to the original recipe. Below is my version!

 

Yummy Hummus

1 can of chickpeas (or garbanzo beans, they’re the same!). Rinse them out.

Lemon juice (I don’t measure, but I probably put in about 2 tbs.)

Tahini (about 2 tbs. again)

Garlic (about a 1/2 teaspoon)

1 tbs. of olive oil. Sometimes I use less if I add an ingredient like sun dried tomatoes because it has oil on it already.

A little water to get it to the preferred consistency

Salt, to taste

Put it all in a food processor (save the water and salt till last) until you like the consistency! Super easy. I like to add ingredients like roasted red pepper and basil, sun-dried tomato with basil and green olives, or, make it with black beans instead of chickpeas and add cayenne pepper! Yum!
