    You're not a weirdo (not for liking hummus anyway:laugh: ) Its super easy to make your own if you have a food processor:

    Hummus Recipe

    Ingredients

    * 4 garlic cloves, minced and then mashed
    * 2 15-oz cans of garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed
    * 2/3 cup of tahini (roasted, not raw)
    * 1/3 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
    * 1/2 cup water
    * 1/4 cup olive oil
    * 1/2 teaspoon of salt
    * Pine nuts (toasted) and parsley (chopped) for garnish

    Method

    1 In a food processor, combine the mashed garlic, garbanzo beans, tahini, lemon juice, 1/2 cup water, and olive oil. Process until smooth. Add salt, starting at a half a teaspoon, to taste.

    2 Spoon into serving dish and sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and chopped parsley.

    Serve with crackers, raw dip vegetables such as carrots or celery, or with pita bread. You can cut the pita bread into thin triangles, brush with olive oil and toast for 10 minutes in a 400°F oven to make pita chips with which to serve the hummus.

    Makes about 3 cups.

    a couple of ways to change it up: Add-- carmelized onions, or switch out the garlic for Roasted Garlic, or add some Roasted red pepper (this adds moisture, you can use less oil

    I had one of my Joseph's whole-grain and flax tortillas with the roasted red pepper hummus and I put 2 tbsp of tabboule salad on it too! That adds a nice flavor too! :wink:

    But, I used up all my hummus! I was at the store too....and forgot to get more!:cry::cry:

    Yes, I WILL make a special trip tomorrow! :blushing: :laugh:
