    for extra protein i add a cup of small curd fat free cottage cheese to my canned chickpeas (sometimes i use pinto beans/black eyed peas)
    add red pepper flakes, parsley, lemon juice, black pepper, 1 teaspoon olive oil OR 1 tablespoon of tahini. (when i add tahini.. it already adds the oil... so no need for olive oil) and 1 or 2 minced garlic cloves. (if the oven is on for any reason.. ill roast them before i mince them)

    blend it allll together =]

    YUM!

    This one doesn't have tahini, I always forget to buy it, but simply add to my recipe

    3-4 cloves garlic, peeled. Put into pouch of tin foil with a drizzle of good quality olive oil and a pinch of salt, close pouch. Roast in oven 375 until soft (really good when there's some brown too)
    1 can garbanzo beans rinched and drained
    tumeric to taste
    curry powder to taste
    salt to taste
    good quality olive oil
    fresh parsley
    fresh lemon juice

    Blend until smooth. I honestly don't remember how much of the spices, but everyone has a different palate! I put in and the olive oil amount always seems to be diff. I do also add water sometimes to help smooth it out.

    I will cook a pound of chickpeas and freeze them for quick use. A friend of mine posted this on Facebook a few months ago and I just happened to have the edamame in the freezer too! It's delish and super easy to make-

    Katelyn's Edamame Chickpea Hummus
    1 cup shelled edamame
    1/2 cup chickpeas (you can used VERY well rinsed canned, but I soaked and cooked my own)
    1/4 cup tahini
    1/4 cup water
    3 Tbs lemon juice
    1-2 cloves of garlic, smashed
    1/2-3/4 tsp salt
    1/2 tsp ground cumin
    3 Tbs EVOO

    In a food processor, combine all ingredients except EVOO. Puree until smooth. With the motor running, slowly drizzle in oil until well mixed.

    I usually use 2 extra TBSP water and 2TBSP less oil. This is also insanely yummy (and pretty!) if you add in 1/4cup roasted red pepper to the food processor. We will sometimes mix in some crumbled feta and then warm this before eating...

    All these great hummus recipes...DH may get his wish for a food processor sooner than later. But I'll start with making it in the blender. Thanks for all the ideas for additions.
