Snacktime: Hummus
I love hummus...and I love it even more now that I have a food processor (I'd recommend a 10-14 cup one for this recipe) and I can make it for myself. Not only is it significantly cheaper but I can control exactly what goes it in, which is always a plus. Also, it couldn't be easier. The one tough ingredient for hummus is the tahini paste which is made from ground sesame. It can be found at many groceries, though I could not find it at Wal-Mart. Best advice is to check a Publix, Hy-Vee, Wegmans, or the like. The tahini will set you back 6 or 7 dollars but you will get lots of hummus batches from the bottle. I used olive oil in the recipe, but you could play around with other oils or sub out up to half with the liquid from the chickpeas.
