Before I get into what I love today I want to refer you to TJ's blog for a giveaway she is doing. It features some of her favorite things. Check it out here.
I love Hummus! I don't know why I tend to only eat this when I am dieting because it is sooooo good. Hummus is a spread made with chickpeas and tahini. It provides a good healthy dose of protein and fat.
I've made it once and will probably try to make it again someday. For now, I have just been buying the pre-made stuff in the stores. I am currently enjoying Atheno's Roasted Red Pepper Hummus. And when that is gone I will start into the tub of Sundried Tomato Hummus I just bought at Costco (Sabra brand). That is one of the great things about hummus, it comes in many different flavors. How do I eat it? My new favorite lunch is a turkey wrap. I spread hummus on a whole wheat tortilla and layer a serving of deli turkey with whatever veggies I'm feeling like that day and roll it up. It is so yummy, I could eat two at a time if I knew better!
I also discovered over the weekend that pita chips dipped into hummus are delicious, as I'm sure veggies would be. This weekend is the Superbowl, instead of buying the normal chips and dips you should try pita chips with hummus instead! So do you all like hummus and how do you eat it? Happy Tuesday! I hope tomorrow is a happy day, it is weigh-in Wednesday.
Yum...sounds good on the turkey wrap. By the way, I walked around the house singing the Footloose song all day yesterday...lol.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE hummous. I keep meaning to buy it but I always forget. I prefer to make my own but since I've been out here I've had a hard time finding Tahini in my neighbourhood. You're suspicion is correct ~ it's delicious as a dip with veggies.
ReplyDeleteI love hummus to but I stay away from it because I want to eat too much and that's not good. Too many calories. But lemon hummus is the best!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the blog luv! :)
ReplyDeleteI too love hummus- so many uses for it! :)
Lovelovelove the Athena's roasted red pepper hummus!
ReplyDeleteI love it too, but the bread for dipping that goes along with it is my weakness!!! It's not the same without the little pita triangles!
