hmmm...hummus

Today I made hummus from scratch!
It's so easy. So yummy and healthy.
Here's what you need:

Garlicky Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

INGREDIENTS:

1 can (15 oz) chick peas/garbanzo beans
1/4 Cup roasted red peppers
3 Garlic cloves, minced
3 Tbs. + 1 Tsp. extra virgin olive oil
Juice of one small lemon
Salt & pepper to taste

DIRECTIONS:

Place all ingredients into a food processor or blender
Blend until desired consistency is reached (it should be smooth, but not runny)

Enjoy! I made seasonded tortilla wedges to serve it with (for which the recipe is under the Valentine's blog entry), along with celery sticks.

It was SO GOOD! A great healthy, inexpensive snack or appetizer.
