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!

A chocolate cake shot that tastes and feels just like a piece of chocolate cake. You have to shoot it to believe it!
Decadent Hummus
I have made this recipe for my family for several years now and it never disappoints. My kids take it on ski trips to share with the team and everyone always loves it! They always want to know why our hummus is a dark brown color. It's the olives! The recipe is equally great without the olives and/or feta. Wonderful with pita bread, chips, crackers, or veggies!
Blueberry Lemon Breakfast Quinoa
This blueberry lemon breakfast quinoa recipe pairs sweet blueberries and tart lemon as an alternative to oatmeal. High in protein and fiber, quinoa makes an excellent start to your day! I made this one morning when I had a craving for quinoa and was looking for a change from the usual. Top it with extra milk for a thinner consistency. It's also good with a sprinkle of cinnamon or nutmeg.
