{hummus} is delicious

Yes you too can make hummus! It is so easy! Do you have a food processor? Mine gets used at least once a week. I really try and not buy anything already made... for now this is going well. I'm sure there will be a day where I do not have as much time as I do now. But I'm hoping these good habits now will follow me no matter what.

This hummus is so easy. I threw it together with what I had in the house, I did not have cayenne pepper so I used cumin and I did not have all the herbs in the food network recipe, so I only used a 1/4C parsley. I also used more garlic because I just really like garlic. Really you can do what you want with it. I ate it for a snack with a mini pita pocket from Trader Joe's.

I used these two recipes to get an idea of the ratios:
Green Herb Hummus
Hummus

1 (15 oz) can Harris Teeter brand chickpeas
2 cloves garlic
1/4C parsley leaves
1 tsp honey
2 tbsp tahini paste
juice from half a lemon
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1/2 tsp cumin
1/3 C extra virgin olive oil

Place everything in bowl of food processor. I mixed it on low for about a minute. Then stir the bottom and pulse a little more. I did not do this and I had honey at the bottom not fully incorporated.

Then eat with veggies or take a pita, toast it and cut it up for dipping.

Will last about a week (But J and I'll eat it before then!)
