I hope you rang in 2015 in a great way. I think this was the first year I chose to sleep rather than watch the ball drop. But I have to say, I felt great the next day. And THAT is the key to getting through a day with our active 2 and 4 year old kiddos!
We're all striving for healthy living in 2015, right? I thought I'd share a healthy and allergy-friendly recipe that's perfect to start a healthy new year:
White Bean, Basil and Lemon Hummus
It's a very easy homemade hummus that's also sesame-free. Perfect for Little Guy who has a food allergy to sesame.
The recipe is adapted from a hummus recipe on a healthy-living and recipe website called Aloha. If you're looking for a fresh, delicious and easy homemade hummus recipe, this one is great!
You start off with all of these lovely ingredients:
Then in a food processor or blender, blend your oil, lemon, garlic and sunflower seeds until rather smooth.
And finally add the rest of your ingredients until you have a beautiful and creamy hummus.
I served it with these colorful veggies: Carrots, cucumbers and cherry tomatoes.
And also with some less healthy, but satisfying and salty snacks too.
So how do you really know if your cooking is a success? By the reaction of your harshest critics: Your kids!
Little Gal loved this hummus and decided to eat it with a spoon - no veggie or salty snack hummus-delivery system needed!
Recipe success!
