Roasted Red Pepper Hummus is a delicious and healthy dip (or spread) that is so easy to make at home. {vegan, gluten free} Thank you to CansGetYouCooking.com through the Mom It Forward Blogger Network for sponsoring this post.

This Roasted Red Pepper Hummus recipe can be made in minutes using common pantry ingredients. Not only does it taste fresh and delicious, but it is also a great recipe to get the kids involved. My kids love to pour in the ingredients and (of course) power the food processor. (Mama, can I pulse it just one more time pleeeeeeease?)…

Jalapeno Hummus

January 27, 2014 ·

Jalapeno Hummus is a healthy dip (or spread) with a little jalapeno kick. Luckily it takes only 10 minutes to make, because this popular hummus disappears quickly!

With the Big Game just around the corner, I have been putting the finishing touches on my menu planning and coming up with some fun recipes. In fact, it’s almost like planning for the holidays – mass quantities of lots of tasty foods to share with family and friends!

After making Sweet Potato Hummus, I have been looking forward to making more varieties of homemade hummus. This time I thought something a little spicy was in order ~ something like Jalapeno Hummus! With just a few simple ingredients and a food processor (or blender), you are 10 minutes away from one of the best hummus recipes ever! Jalapeno Hummus is flavorful without being too spicy. All of the flavors blend very nicely, with a little jalapeno kick at the end. The recipe can easily be doubled (or tripled!), making Jalapeno Hummus ideal for game day entertaining.

Sweet Potato Hummus - sweet, spicy, vegan, delicious!

Sweet Potato Hummus #SundaySupper

September 8, 2013 ·

Sweet Potato Hummus is a little sweet, a little spicy and a lot delicious! This hummus is healthy, quick and easy to make, and vegan.

With Football season means it is tailgating time! Whenever I’m tailgating, at a barbecue, picnic or party, the first thing I look for is something healthy, like fresh vegetables. And if there is something healthy to go with them, such as hummus, I am a happy girl! It just so happens that ‘tailgating’ is the theme for this week’s Sunday Supper, and I am bringing to the party a healthy treat to go with that ~ Sweet Potato Hummus!

Who would have thought the addition of sweet potato to a basic hummus recipe, along with some spice and some heat, would result in such a tasty (and healthy!) dip. Paprika and chipotle seasoning really enhance the sweet potato and are otherwise complementary to the traditional hummus flavors. Sweet Potato Hummus is also very easy to make and a wonderful accompaniment to a vegetable tray, pretzel crisps or whole wheat pita chips. It would also be great on a wrap or as a sandwich spread.

Be sure to check out what the rest of the Sunday Supper group brought to our Tailgate party!
