I made some delicious hummus today, since I couldn't get out because of snow.

Here is the basic recipe I used after looking through the swap recipes. I cooked the garbanzo beans in their liquid for about 10 minutes as Dawn NYS suggested. Then transferred them to a food processor and whirred them.

I divided this batch and added Sriracha sauce to one half, delish! I really wanted to make Marsha's TBay Chipotle Hummus, but I didn't have any cans of the stuff. From all the raves for that hummus, it should be in tried and true,if it isn't.

Then I made another batch and added a jar of water-packed artichokes to it and whirred it. Also delish. I added water to get to the consistency I wanted. I didn't add any salt to it, but I think it would be good with a little added to it. I ran it through my Weight Watchers calculator and it came out as 1 point per tablespoon. I really liked the spicy one.

Both versions sound wonderful to me. My dad just told me I-70 is closed across the entire state.

I believe it. I am thinking it might be Friday before we get out.

Luckily I stocked up on everything before the storm hit. I think I would thin the hummus a little bit more next time.
