Spinach Dill Deli Dip

July 3, 2015 by Wendy

Spinach Dill Deli Dip

This is one of my favorite things to snack on while waiting for Holiday dinner! Sadly, you can’t find it everywhere. Some parts of the country don’t know about it yet! 😉

When I lived in Southern California I had a really hard time finding it in the deli section of my grocery store.  Even if you can find it, it’s not cheap! It’s much cheaper to make. Give this awesome recipe a try!

Like it? Repin it on Pinterest!!

Serve in a hollowed-out round bread loaf. Kings Hawaiian Sweet bread is the PERFECT accompaniment to this awesome cold spinach dip. Just whip up a batch or two, cut the middle of a round loaf and serve in it.  Then, cut the removed bread into bite-size pieces and set alongside bread bowl. Hungry friends and family can use the bread to scoop up the dip.

Warning: make more than you think you’ll need. This stuff disappears FAST!

Super Easy Hummus Recipe with No Tahini

May 28, 2015 by Wendy

Super Easy Hummus Recipe with No Tahini

Compared to our Easy Hummus Recipe, this is an even easier version that’s ready in literally 2 minutes and costs much less than what you buy at the store!

What’s the difference between Garbanzo beans and Chickpeas? Basically, it depends on where you’re from. They’re the same thing, called different names in different parts of the world. Use the names interchangeably.

Nutritional value: Chickpeas are low in Saturated Fat, and very low in Cholesterol and Sodium. It’s a good source of Dietary Fiber, Protein and Copper, and a very good source of Folate and Manganese. There’s 269 calories in a 1-cup serving, so don’t overdo (just because it’s diet doesn’t mean you should binge!) But, rest assured, you’re getting a lot of nutrients in those calories!  It would take 70 minutes of walking to burn 269 calories.

What is Tahini and why not use it?  Tahini is a paste made from ground, hulled sesame seeds. It’s a tasty addition to hummus regularly, but sometimes you might not have it on hand. Also, some people may prefer not to have the sesame taste (kids, for example, might like the taste more without it).  It’s a personal preference. I personally prefer it, but this recipe was very good! You may miss the Tahini, and if you do be sure to check out our Easy Hummus Recipe that does include Tahini. 🙂

Compare prices and save! A 16 oz tub of hummus can cost $5 – $10 at the deli (my favorite is Trader Joe’s Hummus!) But why spend that much when you can MAKE this hummus for around $2 or less for 16 oz!!

The Best Easy Hummus Recipe Ever!

This is a super quick and easy hummus recipe, that will save you a BUNCH over buying it at the store.

My family really enjoys healthy snacks that they don’t know are good for them, such as this yummy dip!  It’s great for breakfast or as an appetizer.  I hadn’t even considered making my own hummus until just recently when my cousin introduced me to her recipe.

It is SO easy.  Just a few ingredients, chop in a food processor or blender, and within minutes you’ve got a healthy, inexpensive snack for you and your family. And really, how many things are there to make with chickpeas or garbanzo beans anyway!  Plus, there are lots of choices for flavors to add also.

Compare prices and save! A 16 oz tub of hummus can cost $5 – $10 at the deli (my favorite is Trader Joe’s Hummus!) But why spend that much when you can MAKE this hummus for around $2 or less for 16 oz!!

Hummus is a Smart Carb! This hummus recipe is a perfect “Smart Carb” in the Nutrisystem daily meal plan.
