I have been a vegetarian for over half my life. When I became pregnant with my son, I dabbled in fish for protein. After a scare with melanoma cancer I decided to go vegan and soy-free a couple times a week. My husband and son eat all kinds of meat which makes cooking even more fun and interesting. This blog is a culmination of recipes from seasonal and vegan foods to vegetarian meals that can include fish and other proteins. Every recipe is clean, fresh and mostly veggie!

Homemade Hummus
Everyone loves a good creamy hummus to dip some warm pita in, or to eat with a cold greek salad. There are thousands of ways this versatile side can be prepared and eaten. Because it is made with protein rich garbanzo beans, it is also a great choice for anyone needing a little extra protein in their diet. This particular recipe calls for hot sauce and paprika but those ingredients can be substituted for almost anything such as basil or roasted peppers, or you can just enjoy it plain.
Hummus Ingredients:
1 can garbanzo beans
1/4 cup tahini paste
1 clove of garlic
1/2 a lemon squeezed
3/4 tsp salt
1/2 tsp paprika
15-20 dashes of your favorite hot sauce such as Tapatio
1/4 cup water
To top the hummus:
1 tbs olive oil
1 tsp paprika
Combined all hummus ingredients into a food processor or blender and mix until it is creamy texture. Pour into a bowl. Top the hummus with a drizzle of olive oil and a sprinkle of paprika.
Yield:
About 2 1/2 cups
