The Best Hummus Ever

Sometimes it can be hard to find something to eat that is healthy, delicious, satisfying and easy. But I have found this manna. It’s called Hummus. I know, I know, who cares, hummus schmummus. What’s the big deal? But let me tell you that this recipe will revolutionize your hummus eating. My daughter loves it and wants it in her lunch box every day and my husband is very happy to have a few crackers slathered with it when he gets home from work in that weird time before dinner is ready when everyone is prowling around the kitchen like a bloodthirsty vampire (Ok, so I’m reading Twilight, I confess!). — We make it so often that I’ve taught my daughter how to make it herself! I usually make a double recipe once a week and we are all set.
