Homemade > Store-bought

Just as the name says, I like things "Made from Scratch" better than things from a box or bag.  Even if it takes a little extra work.  I like to know where my food comes from and what's all in it.  I have been itching to make hummus from scratch for a while now (I've had a jar of tahini sitting in the pantry for months) and today, I finally did.  I only have regret: I didn't make it sooner!



The flavor isn't anything special, just your classic hummus, but sometimes simple is better.  Although, now that I know how well it turns out, I'm excited to try some different flavors - roasted red pepper, spicy, etc.

You can find the recipe here.  If you try this recipe or another flavor variation, please, share your ideas below!

Back in the game


I realize that when it comes to my blogging, it goes in spurts.  But for some reason, I decided to scroll through some old posts last night and it sparked something.  I miss writing here, I just wish I had more time... But don't we all?!

This past year I wrote a column in my university's student run newspaper which focused on all things food and nutrition.  I really liked the experience so I'd like to carry that idea over here,  but cover a broader range of topics for people of all ages, not just students.


Finals wrap up next week so soon I will have more time.  (Hooray!!)  I have lots of ideas, so stay tuned!!  And please, if you have any food- or nutrition-related comments or questions, feel free to leave them below, or send them in a message on Facebook.  Who knows, maybe your question will be the focus of a future post!?

Have a great weekend, everybody!
