Lemon Herb Hummus

October 5, 2015 · 7 Comments

Lemon Herb HummusI would be lying to you if I said I actually like hummus. Because as much as I love a good chickpea, I don’t particularly enjoy hummus. I’m not sure if it’s the texture, or the flavor itself. But for a recent end of summer dinner party I threw, I decided to have another go at enjoying hummus and making my very own. I often put a different twist on every recipe I make, and this hummus was no exception. Lemon Herb HummusJ was surprised with its chunky texture, which I liked, but what I enjoyed the most was its intense lemon flavor, so if you don’t dig the citrus flavor, you can use a smaller amount. I’d say I’ve probably go much smoother on the texture the next time I make it. This hummus was so good though, I didn’t mind that I didn’t include the traditional tahini. If you have it on hand, go ahead add a couple of tablespoons, make it a true classic. Lemon Herb Hummus Lemon Herb HummusThe best part of this hummus are the leftovers, especially slathered onto a warm pita bread, topped with kale, the last of summer’s sweet ripened tomatoes, and salsa. It’s like summer all over again. Lemon Herb Hummus Aside from a strong lemon flavor, I wanted to season this hummus with plenty of fresh herbs I still have growing in the yard. So I grabbed a handful of basil, cilantro, and dill. Since the second batch of my dill hasn’t grown large enough for three tablespoons, I used some dried dill I still had from last year’s batch. But you can replace any of these herbs with your favorites.Lemon Herb Hummus Lemon Herb HummusYes, I know game watching foods have been coming up a lot lately, well that’s what you get when you date a sports guy, like J. I don’t mind it, it helps me get creative with healthier versions of classic game foods, like this salsa. If this is what football foods look and taste like, then I’m all in. Serve me up this healthy hummus and these paprika spiced chips, or even better pita chips made using this same recipe, for Sunday’s day long game watching or any rainy day movie marathon. Lemon Herb Hummus Lemon Herb Hummus

Ingredients
  1. 3 cups {two 15 oz cans} - Cooked Chickpeas {drained + rinsed}
  2. 1 roasted - Shallot
  3. Grated Zest & Juice 1 Lemon
  4. Sea salt and Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  5. Pinch, Cayenne Pepper {optional}
  6. 3 tablespoons - Fresh Basil {chopped}
  7. 3 tablespoons - Fresh Dill {chopped}
  8. 3 tablespoons - Fresh Cilantro {chopped}
Instructions
  1. In a food processor, combine the chickpeas, shallot {which you can simply sauté with olive oil in a small pan for 3 minutes}, lemon zest and juice, cayenne, and salt and pepper; pulse to combine. While the motor runs, or a bit at a time, pour the olive oil in a steady stream. When the hummus reaches the desired consistency, stop the processor.
  2. Add the herbs, and pulse a few times to combine. Taste and season as necessary. If you need to thin on your hummus, add a bit of water. Serve immediately.
Notes
  1. Refrigerate in an airtight container up to 3 days.

Dreamery Headshot_2020

I love everything about entertaining. Flowers are my weakness, a slice of homemade pie makes my heart sing & I’m a sucker for wedding videos. Travel is a constant source of inspiration and motivation. I dream about these things, it’s true. But what I love most, is working with amazing people to create meaningful & unique celebrations…..

This week may have been a lot but at least it ende This week may have been a lot but at least it ended w. pretty flowers for little Adelaide! Her 3rd birthday may not be as big as her “Some Bunny is 1” or “Peppa Pig Muddy Puddles” celebrations but her loved ones are sure to make her special day “Berry Sweet”🍓🌸
E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expan E X P A N S I O N — "the act or process of expanding"💫

this year I choose to expand on the
lessons last year served us...
I expand upon all my visions, dreams & intentions
I aim to expand on love, abundance, health, joy, comfort, courage, creativity, adventure, calm, authenticity, w.e big or small that makes my soul sing & thus expand upon my growth.
But I wholeheartedly hope that this year can help others expand on all the good things they want as well -- especially in global terms🤍

I haven't set resolutions in years, instead I always set intentions -- little things that become part of who I am & in turn become the steps to bring all those images I'm inspired by, into life in my own way.

I'm simplifying even more & stripping it down, choosing to always show myself, & others,
more Grace. I quite enjoy this slow but intentional path. Yes, embracing a fresh new start seems appealing, but there’s much uncertainty still to face & we have a whole year ahead of us.

There’s time to get it done so no need to rush into it...show yourself & others some grace, be a Kind human always, because anything can happen✨
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Adeus 2020... It‘ll be impossible to forget you, Adeus 2020...
It‘ll be impossible to forget you, you broke us, but you also reminded us how we resilient we are. Your chapter is closed, good riddance!!

Ironically my word for 2020 was “Bliss” yet despite all the grief, the heartbreak + emotional rollercoaster I think all of us, although at times hard, did see the silver linings this past year brought. Personally, I realized early on the immense amount of Bliss that was already present in my life, perhaps more so if this year wasn’t what it was.

No, there weren’t Big Blissful moments or travels, but there was so many moments to enjoy the simple pleasures of every day. More time in the garden, a newfound excitement in the kitchen, endless cloud gazing — birdsong listening — butterfly + dragonfly catching — soothing sunsets + always stopping to smell the roses moments. Blissful moments to create whatever it was I felt like doing, moments to appreciate what truly matters in life + what of that is what always needs to be present in life. The chance to escape in the safety of nature + loved ones. The blissful opportunity to rest, to mentally wander, to learn what stillness really is. 

I gave myself grace this year & a well deserved pat on the back, & I really hope you did the same!! As I sail into 2021 I remember just how important all these moments are for growth + Expansion…

Things won’t change right away but all I can wish for all of us in 2021 is abundance, health, unity, joy & Love🤍🤍
Want to wish you all & your loved ones a very Merr Want to wish you all & your loved ones a very Merry Christmas🤍❄️ this year certainly doesn’t feel the same, we’re not gathering w. our loved ones, in fact for many this holiday season has been even more stress inducing than other years. But it doesn’t mean it can’t be magical & wonderful & beautiful whether you’re with your kids, your parents or spending it alone. Don’t forget to make it special & honor your favorite traditions, even if just for yourself!!

May these final days of the year be calm, be love & may brighter days shine upon us all next year✨🌿
