I have tried over the past few years to eat healthier. I use whole wheat whenever available as well as fruits and vegatables. I minimize the amount of sugary, fatty, greasy, high cholesterol, processed food that I put into my body and that of my children.

Best Ever Hummus

This is, by far, the best recipe I've ever found (by someone named Robin on the internet).
I serve it with organic pretzels, as a dip for raw vegetables or for a buffet with toasted pita wedges brushed with olive oil and seasoned with fresh rosemary.

1 (19 ox) garbanzo beans, drained
3T tahini
1/4-1/2 c olive oil (your choice)
3 cloves garlic
3T lemon juice
2 T water (or as needed to acquire a smooth consistency)
1T honey
1-1 1/2 t salt

In food processor or blender, add olive oil and garlic and process.  Add rest of ingredients and process until smooth.  Spoon into serving dish and drizzle with 2 T of olive oil on top, if desired. 

You can add to this basic recipe to create some variety, such as toasted pine nuts (stir in the finished hummus- do not process), roasted red peppers, cumin or rosemary (which you'd process along with other ingredients),  Enjoy!
