Food

I guess it depends if you know me or not but like most people I have many loves and a few obsessions. One of my obsessions is Crossfit but I'll talk more about that later. Running a close second is Food...eating, tasting, buying and especially cooking...I suppose it comes from my mother who had to feed 6 very athletic kids on a teacher's salary. And she did it well. So I grew up knowing that food was important but best of all I learned how to love food. Luckily, I learned how to run, lift and play games but I digressing towards Crossfit.

To this day, if you were to hear the conversation between my mom and me you would think we both managed kitchens. We talk about food, the prices, what's in season, and best of all "whatcha cook'en". So, I hope to share with all of you (right now it's just one friend -April- reading my blog) what I'm cooking.

Put this one anything and my daughter will lap it up.

Creole-style Hummus
1 15oz can garbanzo beans (rinsed)
1/4 cup olive oil
1/4 cup tahini
1/4 cup water
1/8 cup fresh lemon juice
2 garlic cloves
2 tsp Creole seasoning
1 tsp ground cumin

Puree all ingredients in a food processor until smooth!!
We eat them with slices of bell pepper. Enjoy.
