now that was a tasty snack, about 11 almonds dipped in roasted garlic hummus by Athenos.
Has anyone ever tried that?
Also, anyone have any hummus recipes? That stuff is great.
Food Network has good recipes though if you are motivated.
Have you ever tried Baba Ghanoush? That stuff is great too.
thanks! No, I've never even heard of Baba Ghanoush - what is it?
Besides celery and almonds, I'm wondering what else goes good with it.
Also, I *think* it is making my gas smelll! DANG! TMI
Hummus is yummy....I don't know about the gas problem thought- yuck

Well it is made from garbanzo beans.
Beans beans the musical fruit
The more you eat the more you toot!!!
Its good with those little cracker like breadsticks also with veggies.
yeah cyster I hear ya but---it smells like something crawled up my arse and DIED! fffeeww maybe it was the roasted garlic. I dunnnoo
I had tasted it once about 9 years ago, and thought it was good. Then my home-ec teacher made some at school, and I had told her how much I liked it, so she gave me some. I ate it for lunch and overdid it. I got very sick. No one else did, so I think it was just some weird reaction from me eating too much (but who knows, maybe I am allergic or something). Anyway, I just can't stomach it now. But, it did taste good!

you can eat it with almost any vegetable. A local brew pub I go to has a hummus plate appetizer that I often get as a meal. It's a bowl of hummus, with warm flat bread, cucumber rounds, grape tomatoes, kalamata olives and feta cheese.
I've also dipped raw zucchini, baby peeled carrots, barely steamed (still crunchy) green beans. Basically just experiment. I have also had them with wheat thins and all sorts of other crackers.
If I've got a bag of pita that's about to go fuzzy, another thing I"ll do is slice it into wedges, brush with lemon juice (or not) and toast in the oven for a little while. Flip once, toast the other side, and voila, instant pita chips.
Baba Ghanoush is a similar dip (in that it gets it's consistency from tahini (sesame seed paste) but instead of garbanzo beans it's made with eggplant!
Try this when you are tired of being gassy.
Me I need all the help I can get in the gas department so I can compete with DH and DS!!!

LOL! toot away....
Now the Baba Ghanoush sounds darn good Eggplant rocks - forgot about that veggie. Sesame agrees with my gut, that sounds great.
if you keep dried beans in the house, make a crockpot full, drain, and cool then freeze in 1 - 2 cup increments.
In a food processor, toss in the beans, some olive oil (1-2 t), lemon juice (1/2 lemon squeezed), garlic (to taste), salt, pepper, and just plain old sesame seeds (1-2 t). Process till achieves desired consistency. You can add tumeric too.
I'm too thrifty to buy it at the store. I use organic of all the above. DH LOVES it, will eat it buy the cup I swear.
