    This is going to sound really silly, but what is hummus anyway?

    it's a creamy dip made with chick peas and garlic. It's soooo good! Mmm I always have a dish of it in the fridge so that I can snack on it if I get the urge to snack. It's great will all kinds of veggies too!

    Hmmm.... That does sound good! You can get it at regular grocery stores, right?

    Thanks,

    It's very easy to make too.
    I soak dried chick peas (very cheap) overnight then put them in the crock pot until they are tender. In a food processor or blender blend them smooth with lemon juice and garlic to taste. If you want it more authentic, add tahini (sesame paste) but it is high in fat.
    I do the same with other beans too, right now I have a kidney bean, garlic, and taco seasoning spread that is wonderful.

    the roasted garlic hummus is VERY good, too. I love it on celery, as well.

    Hummus is yummy - I spread the roasted garlic kind on toast for garlic bread. Mmm!

    I'm going to have to google hummus...I really want to know what it is specifically...I've heard a lot about it. If you guys say it's yummy it has to be good!
    I wonder what aisle it's in?

    It's usually with the refrigerated dips and spreads.
