sun dried tomato and kalamata olive hummus (raw)

That’s right, folks! Pizza hummus has received a major nutritional upgrade… but don’t worry, healthier doesn’t mean any less tasty! And guess … Continue reading sun dried tomato and kalamata olive hummus (raw)

This was my midnight snack last night. I should have been sleeping, but looking at delicious food in recipe books and talking food with Mom made me hungry. Very hungry.
