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!
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!
