A couple of months ago, I finally did what everyone swore was so easy: I tried making my own hummus.
Everyone was right. You essentially throw a ton of stuff in a food processor, and voila! Hummus (if you do it the lazy way like me with canned chickpeas, anyway)!
Ever since then, homemade hummus is almost always hanging out in a tupperware container in the fridge. When I'm too lazy to even cook, I've definitely had dinners of pretzels and hummus more than once (I add baby carrots if I feel like behaving)!

| No, seriously. This is the tupperware container I just pulled out of my fridge to show you. You can tell I've been enjoying it! |
It should be no surprise then, that this hummus found a place in my most recent super lazy eat. I've been munching on this one for the last week or so. The good news is, like most of these eats, that they are super customizable. Just a starting point for what you want your new lazy yumminess to be.
The first time I made this, I got all fancy. Multiple diced veggies, rice, some balsamic vinegar. Yum. But let's be real. I'm not fancy. And I'm often in a rush. So, the recipe has become as simple as my tomato sandwiches or cucumber sandwiches:
Mediterranean Pita
You Will Need:
Whole wheat pita: 1
Hummus: 1-2 tbsp.
Cucumber: ~1/3
Directions:
Open pita and fill/spread with hummus.
Chop cucumber and stuff into pita.
Enjoy!

Wait, you've made your own Hummus. I eat that stuff so much and spend far to much money on it. I need to get a food processor stat. *gimmie*

ReplyDeleteSounds very "healthy" lol I do not have the time to be this creative lol
ReplyDeleteI love cucumber sandwiches, so this would be great for me. Adding hummus would be a nice way to have a little more flavor. Thank you for sharing this with the Less Laundry, More Linking party.
