Hummus

To kickoff my blog, I will start with a simple yet delicious recipe: homemade hummus!  Prepare to never buy that pre-made hummus from the grocery store ever again! All you need is a food processor and a few ingredients.

Ingredients:

• 1 can of chick peas
• 1 or 2 garlic cloves (garlic-lovers, feel free to add more!)
• 3 tablespoons of tahini 
• Salt & pepper
• Lemon juice

Instructions:

1. In a food processor, add garlic and mince. If you love garlic, don't be afraid to add more than 1 or 2 cloves! We usually do!
2. Once minced, drain chick peas in water and add to processor with tahini. Start processor. *To keep hummus smooth, you may want to add some water to your mixture while processing. We love our hummus to be lemony, so we just add more lemon juice and that usually keeps it smooth without adding any water. It's your preference!
3. Add lemon juice, salt, and pepper to taste.

For a special treat, toast some pita bread or chop up some of your favorite veggies to dip into the hummus! Enjoy :)
