"This recipe is from Art Smith's cookbook Kitchen Life, which is an awesome cookbook. It's full of so many helpful tips from grocery shopping to staples you should always have on hand in your pantry. If you need some motivation in the kitchen, you would love it.

This recipe for hummus is so great because it substitutes peanut butter for tahini paste (ground sesame seeds), which is normally in most hummus recipes. So it saves you a trip to the specialty market. Who doesn't have peanut butter on hand?!"

    I'm thinking you can mix it up a bit, but I've heard many people talk about being allergic to tahini and unable to eat hummus due to the allergy. Hoping this might work for them. :smile:

    That would suck! I LOVE tahini! But this sounds very interesting, so I'm gonna try it this weekend!

    And peanut butter doesn't stand out taste-wise?

    No clue. I haven't made it. I'm not a fan of lemon flavored stuff, generally. :blushing: Maybe the chickpeas and lemon taper the peanut butter flavor??
