roasted garlic hummus

Chick peas. Roasted garlic. Olive oil. Isn’t is amazing how just a few ingredients transform themselves?

If you never had hummus- you should try it, it’s booty-friendly, versatile and cheap to make. The kind they sell by the deli costs around $2.99. I made double the amount for about $1.12. Being thrifty is fun. Speaking of thrifty- I made 8 breakfast sandwiches yesterday, too. I should have used my own biscuit dough, though. I tried to use that other stuff-you know, the kind that scares the heck out of you when you open it? Anything that startles you before you bake it should be a sign. Like snakes. I love snakes, but they always startle the &$%# out of me when I see them in the yard…I don’t think I would eat one. Snakes and canned biscuits. Hmmm.

Hummus. Well, first the garlic- roasted garlic takes on a sweet, nutty flavor after it’s roasted, and it’s less pungent, too. Vampire and date night friendly.

To roast it- wrap a whole bulb in foil and bake it at 350 for 30 minutes. I used to toaster oven. It’s summer.

place 2 cloves it in a food processor or blender and ad 1 can of canned chick peas, drained but save 2 tbs of the liquid that they were in.
