I love hummus!

Hummus has become a staple in our house.  We go through it as fast as milk. 

 I have made many batches of hummus, but find it easier to just buy it from the store. 

 It takes less time and it still has the simple ingredients I am looking for.

I bought this yesterday from Whole Foods.  

It only has 7 ingredients: 

Chick Peas, Water, Sweet Red Pepper, Sesame Tahini, Lemon Juice, Garlic and Sea Salt.

Here is the quick scoop on chick peas: 

They are a very 
good source of folic acid, fiber, 
and manganese.  They are also a 
good source of protein, as well 
as minerals such as iron, copper, 
zinc, and magnesium.  As a good 
source of fiber, garbanzo beans 
can help lower cholesterol and 
improve blood sugar levels.

Here are a few ways I like to use hummus:

1. On a salad.

2. As a dip for raw veggies or crakers.

3. Spread on a sandwich instead of mayo or mustard.

4. Thicken soup.

5. Coat pasta. 

Add hummus to your fridge!
