Warm Caramelized Onion Chickpea Spread

May 10, 2021 by Faith 19 Comments

Warm Caramelized Onion Chickpea Spread combines the creaminess of hummus and the rich complexity of French onion soup for the perfect snack.

I’ve been finding myself making fusion-type dishes more frequently lately.

To name a few, Indian-spiced burgers with tamarind chutney and fresh mint, rolled up in hot naan instead of being sandwiched between a bun.

Greek-flavored enchiladas, with garlicky marinated chicken, feta, tomato sauce, and beautiful briny Kalamata olives.

Boeuf Bourguignon served pot pie-style, enrobed in a melt-in-your-mouth tender, flaky pastry crust.

January 29, 2020 by Faith 15 Comments

Save money and learn how to make this flavorful Roasted Red Pepper Hummus Recipe at home in less than 10 minutes! You’ll never want store-bought hummus again! My hubby, Mike, who grew up in the Middle East, doesn’t go for any kind of “flavored” hummus. No crazy additions of things like pumpkin. (At the mention of that, he gave me a shocked/horrified look and muttered, Do people really do that?; my reply, Why yes, yes they do.). And no sundried tomato, pesto, or even roasted garlic (because of course garlic should be raw in hummus!)....

April 24, 2019 by Faith 1 Comment

Bright and tangy with an earthy sweetness, this Pickled Beet Hummus recipe has white beans, za’atar, feta, and mint, and is as pretty as it is delicious.

Peanutty Thai Curry Hummus

October 19, 2015 by Faith 16 Comments

This Peanutty Thai Curry Hummus is full of some of my favorite Thai flavors: peanut, coconut, garlic, ginger, fish sauce, and fresh lime! It was the strangest thing. I woke up on a day like any other…ate my regular breakfast, did my normal workout, showered, replied to a few emails, and headed to the fridge for a post-workout snack. I grabbed what I saw first, hummus and a carrot. Happy as a lark, I dunked the carrot into the hummus, only to discover that I was over it....

A couple times a year my family makes dinner comprised entirely of appetizers. Like breakfast for dinner, these appetizers-turned-main-courses are some of our favorite meals. Christmas Eve is always a meal of little bites that everyone looks forward to, and just for the fun of it, a couple weeks ago at my parents’ house we decided to do the same thing....

Roasted Carrot Red Lentil Dip

June 2, 2011 by Faith 45 Comments

A while ago found myself gifted with five pounds of carrots. I wanted to make something unique and special with the carrots, and as I hemmed and hawed on what to make, they weren’t getting any fresher. Meaning, I had to think of a way to use a significant amount of carrots and I had to do it fast. I had a party coming up and I knew just what to do. I came up with this recipe, doubled it, and brought it to the party. This dip was the first thing to go and I ended up wishing I had made more!...
