Do you ladies usually buy premade hummus or make your own? I've seen the premade at Whole Foods and wanted to buy it, but I didn't know if it was SB friendly. I've wanted to make it, but I have no idea where I'd find tahini sauce. Any ideas?
I buy premade, and have done fine with it. You can get tahini from a health food store.
Kyemom, lol I havent recovered from the toe jam comment yet. Um hummus is kind of hard to describe, its a subtly nutty flavour, with garlic. I hope someone can describe it better than me!
Lets put it this way- its one of those foods that doesnt taste like its healthy - it tastes like its totally sinful!! (to me anyway)
I buy the Athenos brand. Just look at the ingredients to make sure that nothing is added that shouldn't be. I used to get the Greek flavor but then I tried the one that is Spicy Three Pepper and I like it even better.
I've seen the tahini at my grocery store and I have recipes but I just don't have the time.
I'm not sure how to describe it, kyemom. I'd never had it before and just decided to try a few different flavors. I really love the spicy one with my red pepper strips.
Tahini is roasted and ground sesame seeds. Sort of like sesame butter. Depending on your grocery store-it can be in the asian area with the soy sauce and stuff, it can be in the health food section, I've even seen it by the peanut butter but I think that might have been a mistake-can you imagine some unsuspecting person trying to make a tahini and jelly sandwich
Hummus taste like...hmmm...beans with spices I guess is the best way of explaining it, it's creamy, goes well with vegetable strips and SBD friendly crackers.
I always buy the premade stuff from Trader Joes, the ingredients are SBD friendly and it tastes pretty good. When I make mine from scratch it doesn't taste very good, the flavors don't blend together the way store bought does, could just be the way I make it too.
The red pepper hummus by Tribe is great. I get it at Schnucks if you have one around. I am going to try and make my own though, because it is a tad bit expensive considering how fast I eat it.
I buy store brand. Usually Tribe or 3 Shieks, since that's what my store carries. I'm a huge fan of the Roasted Red Pepper in both brands, and sometimes like the Roasted Garlic or the original. Dill (Tribe) is really good too, but I only found it once or twice.
Hummus is wonderful...if you haven't tried it, you have to give it a whirl. It tastes a little like mashed chickpeas, but with the other flavors and ingredients, it's much richer and more flavorful. Very good!
2 T. is the listed serving size on the side of the container. It has a lot of fat-good fat but it's still fat. I think the goal is not to eat the entire 8 oz in one sitting .
