Hummus

We love hummus around here and it's so darn expensive for how fast we go through it. I thought making my own would be just as good and a little cheeper.

I sure was right!

Here is what I needed for the original recipe + a cucumber. I didn't like the cucumber hummus so I omitted it and added more garlic.

Recipe:

1/3 c tahini sause

1 can garbanzo beans

1 T olive oil

1/2 c lemon juice

4 cloves garlic

1 t garlic powder

I blended it all together and it needed a little something more, so I added Franks Red Hot sause, red pepper and a tad garlic salt and paprika. Much better!

Here is the final recipe. I don't really measure when I cook so amounts are guestimated.

Hummus:

1/3 c tahini sause

1 can garbanzo beans

1 T olive oil

1/2 c lemon juice

4 cloves garlic

1 t garlic powder

1 t Franks Red Hot

1/4 t red pepper

sprinkling of garlic salt

sprinkling of paprika

For some reason my kids are pretending to swim in the house today. It's actually cold out today. C is trying the hummus with a white carrot from the garden.

L already ate up her hummus and is now having a "Daddy Shake."

It must be good!

How could I resist putting this picture up of L waiting for me to make the hummus.

Since I showed you the "Daddy Shake" that we have almost daily, I'll give you another recipe...

Daddy Shake

1 banana

4 oz oat milk

hand full rolled oats

spoon full of peanut butter

3-4 ice cubes

Variation: add a scoop of choc, honey or agave. My kids like it with or without the other stuff. I usually add honey though.

I hope you like it as much as we do! Oh, but I won't drink the shake. Peanut butter and banana is just wrong!
