Ok, so we need to balance out the sweet stuff with a little healthy stuff! I know it sounds strange, but my kids love hummus. In fact it is one of their favorite snacks, besides just eating the beans from the can. They love it with crackers, pretzel thins and pita bread. It is a little expensive to buy so I thought I would give it a shot and make my own. All you do it but all of the ingredients in a food processor and hit start, now that's easy! The next combination I try will be using garlic and roasted red pepper, or artichoke hearts and spinach yum!
I like hint, save the juice from the canned beans to use to thin the hummus out. I thought the recipe made it a little to thick, but adding some of the juice helped a lot! I hope your family enjoys this as much as mine did!
