Quarantine Cooking: Hummus!

In my opinion, hummus is the perfect dip. It’s nutritious, filling, and compatible with most dip-able foods. (Guacamole comes close, but dipping carrots in guac just doesn’t feel right.) With garbanzo beans as its primary ingredient, hummus is packed with protein, carbohydrates and fiber, which makes it a great snack in between meals or after a workout. Plus, it’s super easy to make your own, and often tastes better homemade! With this recipe as a foundation, you can experiment with additional toppings and spices. Happy snacking!

5 Ingredient Hummus

Makes approx. 1.5 cups

Ingredients:

– 1 15-oz can garbanzo beans – 1?4 cup tahini
– 1 clove garlic
– 3 tbsp lemon juice
– 3 tbsp olive oil

Directions:

  1. Blend first four ingredients in a food processor until smooth.
  2. Slowly drizzle in olive oil while continuing to pulse.
  3. Season with salt and pepper to taste.

How to Get Natural Looking Botox and Filler, and How to Choose the Practice

For about fifteen years the goal of aesthetic medicine was to be seen. Fuller lips, higher cheeks, a forehead that did not move. You could spot it across a restaurant, and for a while that was the point. That era is ending, and not because the treatments stopped working. It is ending because the women who can afford the work decided they did not want to look like they had it. The new goal is

Technically legal, technically within the rules, technically fine. Except technically legal and actually safe aren’t always the same thing, especially once rain, snow, fog, or ice enters the picture. That posted number was calculated for typical, favorable conditions, not for whatever’s actually happening
