Hummus

This weeks recipe is homemade hummus! We have been using this recipe for years and when all the steps are followed it yields a super smooth & creamy hummus. Use as a dip for veggies or crackers, spread on toast, use in a wrap...the possibilities are endless. The only items you cant find in store are fresh garlic & lemon.
