    You said hummus! Jeannie will be popping in here soon. It is like her siren call. :laugh:

    I LOVE hummus myself. I make my own & load it up with tons of lemon juice or garlic (depending on how I'm feeling). Yummy!

    I think after reading this, i'll be having a baked chicken breast with hummus & a salad for dinner. MUST...have...hummus. *drool*

    It's a dip made up of cooked/mashed chick peas, tahini paste and other things like olive oil, lemon, salt, garlic, etc.

    They come in a variety of flavors. I find mine in the "Deli/Produce" area of the grocery store. DELICIOUS.

    I usually eat celery/carrots with it or spread it on crackers or spread it on a whole-grain tortilla.

    Your welcome! I will warn you that it is quite addicting! LOL!

    If you can find "Joseph's" brand products, I love their hummus, tortillas and pitas.

    Often for an afternoon snack, I will spread 2 tbsp of the roasted red pepper hummus on one of the Joseph's tortilla's. The total is 120 cals, 4 g fat, 7 g Fiber and 9 g Protein. Nice snack! Very filling too.

    Love it, love it, love it.. :love: :love: :love: :love:

    roasted garlic, roasted red pepper, 40 spices, even plain is awesome.. I use toasted mini wheat pitas to dip...

    How about Baba ganoosh (may be spelling wrong)? Anybody like this??

    It is similar but made with roasted eggplant.. I love it out at restaurants, but have not been able to find a good store brand or recipe..

    Suggestions appreciated..

    Thanks, Jb

    I am right there with y'all on loving hummus! My favorite is tomato basil. That spread on a toasted whole wheat pita with a Morning Star basil mozzarella pizza burger!!! OMG Nirvana! That is my new favorite meal.

    I LOVE baba ghanoush. I keep mine pretty simple:

    1 eggplant ( cut length wise and roast for 30-40 minutes at 400 face down on lightly oiled pan)
    1/4 cup sesame tahini
    2 cloves garlic (finely chopped)
    fresh lemon juice (to your taste)
    1-2 tbs extra virgin olive oil
    sea salt

    Only thing I like more than hummus. I know you are "supposed" to refrigerate it. But it is sooo good warm on whole wheat pitas that are toasted.

    Trader Joe's has a spicey hummus that is delish!

    I used to think it was gross before I found out what it was.

    I like garbanzo beans and bean dip so why wouldn't I like this!?!?! :laugh:

    Is this all blended together? I've never heard of it, but sounds like it might be good (I like eggplant)

    Yes! In a food processor or blender works well.
