All Hummus!!!

If you ask me, hummus is the B-E-S-T snack on the planet.  Healthy, a good source of protein, a great dip for veggies and chips, and ooooooh so yummy, you will always find this snack in the Frane fridge.

One thing I've learned this year is that hummus is always made with chick peas, cumin and tahini, but you can throw in ANY in-season vegetable to change it up.  My friend Susan Buchman gave me this delicious pumpkin hummus recipe at our Ski and Tea workout this morning, and it's super GOOD!

What a busy week.  In the first 3 days of the week, I worked 45 hours and top if off with Trick or Treating and the play Hairspray at Chanhassan, and I'm still spinning.  But, I have lots of ideas buzzing for my next blog (in fact I was dreaming of ideas).  So, more to come......

Happy Halloween

Happy Cooking,
