that's adorable! funny, this week Matteo (who doesn't like many things when it comes to eating) was very eager to dip his crackers (and fingers and toy horse) into the hummus to eat it! He loved the stuff! I don't make mine though, I'm impressed you do! Sounds like work. lol :)

ps those pictures of P and his friend on that link are too precious!

Hey Carrie, what recipe do you use for hummus?

Hey Pam, I make it a little different every time but this is how I think I do it.

1 can chickpeas, drained, liquid reserved
juice of 1 lemon
2 tbl tahini (sesame paste)
3 tbl olive oil (I really just eye ball this)
1 clove of garlic, chopped
salt and pepper to taste

Blend together and then add the chickpea liquid back in to get the consistency that you want.

In this batch I added 1/2 a roasted red pepper, just the jar kind.

You can also do green chilies or really anything that you would want. Let me know how it turns out!
