    G'day loves!

    Are you ready for the best recipe of the year?! I don't know if you're ready for this yet.

    Just putting it out there that it's been like a full 4 days since the year began, so the competition wasn't that stiff.

    We're going back to basics to kick off the new year, and is one of the simplest, and most frequent recipes I make on a consistent basis here in the Sinful Nutrition kitchen

    The one. The only. Humm-to-the-Us. HUMMUS!

    I say this homemade hummus recipe is 5 ingredients, but if we're getting real technical, you can make it with one. A hugh jass can of chickpeas.

    Yes. No oil. No tahini. Just a gang of chickpeas, and it's mysterious juices.

    That sweet bean nectar of the gods! ..Otherwise known as aquafaba for those who are culinarily fluent. Either way, a buck and some change is all that stands between you and a pound of spreadable, edible chickpea HE-AV-EN.

      Yesterday at the store I almost bought hummus and then I thought, why I have everything I need to make that! Great minds think alike!

      Love this! My husband loves to make this but he always estimates the measurements and we never quite get it right. Love the idea of pizza hummus!

      I will never go back to buying hummus! It's so expensive and making my own HUGE batches (and freezeing!) is so much better, flavorful, and fun!

        I'm all about cheap, easy, and delicious! Never thought of freezing it though!

      Hummus is a staple in our house. Roasted red pepper and original. Always in the fridge.

      Emily, what recipe plugin are you using? Thanks!
