This hummus recipe was handed down to me by my Syrian grandmother. I took it and tweaked it just a touch by adding roasted garlic, making it my most-requested recipe. I finally made it for my grandma a few months ago, and she said it was incredible — that was my Oscar moment! Even people who don't like hummus love this recipe. And I'm modest too!

White Chocolate Pumpkin Spice Muffins
These white chocolate pumpkin spice muffins are the perfect fall recipe. The combination of the pumpkin and white chocolate is reminiscent of pumpkin cheesecake. Yum! For a lighter muffin, be sure to sift your flour and level off the measuring cup. Do not overmix the batter to ensure your muffins are tender.
Roasted Butternut Squash, Garlic, and Apple Soup Recipe
In this roasted butternut squash, garlic, and apple soup recipe, butternut squash, sweet potato, carrot, and garlic are roasted in large pieces and added to onion, celery, apple, and vegetable broth. An immersion blender thickens without adding fat. If you prefer more savory flavors to spicy ones, use curry powder instead of cayenne pepper. You can use apple juice in place of cider, and chicken broth instead of vegetable broth.
