as necessary as food to the body

As anyone who has ever meet her will attests, I married WAY WAY out of my league, something I am constantly amazed and grateful for.  Today I am especially grateful for her cooking, specifically my most recent addiction, hummus.  So as a quick post (and to help me find it next time I need it) I thought I would post her receipe.  The following is Heather’s Lemon and Spice hummus.  It is unquestionably the best hummus I have ever had, as can be proven by the fact that it actually gets me to eat large quantities of vegetables in the consumption of it.  Just blend everything listed below.

  • 15oz can of chickpeas
  • 4 Tbsp lemon juice
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 2 cloves garlic chopped (or 2 tsp if you buy it pre-chopped)
  • 1/2 tsp sea salt (we really only eat sea salt anymore but the flavor quality REALLY matters in this recipe)
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper
  • parsley to taste
