    I too am addicted to hummus. I've had it almost every day for the past two weeks for lunch with some type of low fat/calorie crackers. I really like the red hot peppers one. HUMMUS LOVERS UNITE!!

    I can't seem to find one I like! I hate buying it because I will have one bite and hate it and end up throwing it out. I need to try Trader Joes - but there aren't any close for me!

    I have to make it from scratch twice a week because my whole family is addicted. My husband and kids would finish the little jar from Trader Joe's in an afternoon. My son takes it to school in a Ziploc for dipping his celery so he goes through alot.

    My recipe:

    2 cloves garlic, minced
    1 (15 oz) can garbanzo beans, drained
    1/3 cup tahini paste (ground sesame seeds)
    1/3 cup lemon juice
    1/2 cup roasted red peppers (buy in jar or roast)
    1/4 teaspoon dried basil

    Mix all in food processor until smooth. I swap the red peppers for tomato and basil to mix things up. Hopes this helps keep your addition flourishing!

    I have a deep love for this hummus I had only one time, it was a saffron hummus from Whole Foods' dip bar. Ugh, so good. I could eat it all day and never get tired of eating it. That's bad, but good hummus does that to you!

    I personally think hummus is the least bad thing to get addicted to. Especially if you make your own, because then you control what goes into it! Mmm.

    Thank you Thank you Thank you! My husband and I are in a budget crunch, and I haven't had money for hummus, but I've been looking for a decent recipe. Now I have one! :wink:

    I'm sorry too ... I see no diet issue with Hummus! I love the spicy ones! I've found a brand at a store near me that has a super spicy made with chillis! Hummus is a great source of protein, and if you like the spicy ones it's a little boost to the metabolism. You just have to remember ..... Everything in moderation!! Of course the crackers can blow your carbs, but don't forget that if you buy a multigrain cracker that subtracting the total dietary fiber from the carb total on the box is allowed .... I try to learn all the tricks!! Enjoy that Hummus!!

    ME TOO!!! I JUST AVOID BUYING IT BECAUSE I KNOW I CANT CONTROL MYSELF...cant buy philidelphia cream cheese, ONLY FAT FREE, because its nasty, cant buy babybel cheese or laughing cow, I can eat the whole thing in one sitting, and not i have to stop buying smart balance butter, because i love bread with butter, last night went for 4 slices of that...
