Hummus Hubbub (and other madness)!

I cannot keep up with the hummus consumption in our house! I use it on sandwiches, our older girl loves it with tortilla chips, and the baby, well she eats it straight off a spoon, about 1/2 cup a sitting! She even loves a black olive hummus we buy.

I often buy some from a local market which are tasty, but a tad pricey for the ingredients. I picked one up the other day, but it was already gone off despite the date. I can get a refund, but still that's inconvenient - and frustrating. Given this hummus was bad, I picked up more hummus from a specialty store on the way home from preschool. This one was WAY too heavy on the garlic for the girls (and me!) to eat.

I threw my hands up and got out the food processor. I made a double batch of my Creamy Hummus from Vive, pictured drizzled with a little extra-virgin olive oil. I love this hummus because it is mild, creamy and just slightly different with the touch of toasted sesame oil in the recipe. So, our fridge was full of hummus - well for a couple of days anyhow!

With all this hummus frenzy and getting the contest details posted, I realized I wore my pants backward when dropping my daughter off at preschool yesterday! Lovely mommy brain! At least they were yoga pants so I didn't feel too ridiculous. I just HOPE that I would have noticed if they were zippered pants! :) Oh dear!
