Who doesn't love hummus?
Well, me, as a kid. I hated it. I could not believe all the adults were making such a big deal over something that tasted like garlic and lemon! I think I was envisioning something more along the lines of S'mores at the time. ...if you aren't imagining a graham cracker with a piece of chocolate and a melted marshmallow, hummus is quite lovely.

Sweet Potato Hummus

1 medium cooked sweet potato
3 tablespoons olive oil.
2 cans cooked chickpeas rinsed and drained
3 tablespoons tahini.
3 cloves garlic, peeled.
juice of 1 lemon.
ground sea salt, to taste

Toss in a food processor and process until smooth.Serve with whatever your favorite dipping scooping food items are. I like fresh cucumber slices, corn chips, carrots, celery and tomatoes.

 

If you’re not into vegan or vegetarian or you just like bacon you’ll love this gluten free nori wrap!

 

 

Alll you need is some nori sheets,

 

 

some hummus to spread over the nori sheet,

 

 

some cooked bacon to put on the hummus,

 

 

some lettuce to put right next to the bacon,

 

 

some tomato slices,

 

 

and cheese because I always like cheese in BLTs.

 

 

A little salt and pepper to taste.

 

 

Roll it all up and there it is, ready to eat!

 

 

Slicing neatly is not so easy but don’t worry about it, they taste great!

I finally made Edamame Hummus from the recipe Katrina’s mom gave me! This has been on the list for a while. well, since September. Aside from my garlic being kind of tired and unflavorful I thought it was close to the way Katrina’s mom made it.

 

 

All you need are some Edamame beans cooked and shelled.

 

 

some garlic with a little more garrr than this one.

 

 

And a food processor.

 

 

Into the food processor place the garlic, beans,

 

 

water,

 

 

lemon juice,

 

 

olive oil,

 

 

salt, pepper,

 

 

tahini and lemon zest. Process until smooth.

 

Serve with vegetables, crackers chips or what ever you like.

I  just tried making this Gluten free sweet potato hummus from a recipe in a Taste of Home magazine.  Only 7 ingredients and very quick to make. It was great! I’ll be making this again for sure.

 

 

I just sliced up some cooked sweet potatoes I was too lazy to mash them first.

 

Sliced a couple cloves of garlic.

 

 

Place Into a mini food processor, but you should use a full sized one if you have it

 

 

A portion of the sweet potatoes. I started feeling sorry for the mini food processor so I chopped the sweet potatoes up smaller.

 

 

Some cumin.

 

 

A pinch of Salt

 

 

Lemon juice.

 

 

Then I processed everything just to see if the mini could handle it. It was no problem at all.

 

 

So I added the cayenne,

 

 

and tahini.

 

 

And processed it all in batches until I had all of the sweet potatoes blended up nicely.

 

 

Then taste it, it’s part of the job.

 

 

Serve right away or make ahead.

 

Sweet Potato Hummus

adapted from Taste of Home

Ingredients

    4 cups mashed sweet potatoes
    1/4 cup tahini
    1/4 cup lime juice
    2 garlic cloves, minced
    2 teaspoons ground cumin
    1-1/2 teaspoons salt
    1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper

Directions

1. Place the first ingredients in a food processor; process until blended. Transfer to a bowl.

 

I found this recipe for roasted red pepper hummus and decided to do a test batch. It was so good it was gone on no time so I had to make more. So this is the second batch.

 

 

 

 

Yes, a mini food processor! New Christmas goodies.

 

 

Start with chopping some garlic.

 

 

Remove stems from some parsley.

 

 

drain 2 cans of chickpeas.

 

 

Into the food processor or blender add parsley, lemon juice,

 

 

garlic,

 

 

olive oil,

 

 

salt,

 

 

cumin, cayenne and coarsely ground pepper. Process until blended.

 

 

Next add chickpeas and roasted red peppers. If you’re using a mini food processor I suggest doing it in small batches.

 

 

I found only filling it about half full worked best and it didn’t make that funny noise like it might just stop at any point.

 

 

Toss in sesame seeds and serve with pita chips or carrots if you’re going gluten free and don’t have any gluten free pita chips.
