This healthy, gluten-free Blueberry Peach Crumble has all the goodness of your favorite summer dessert plus the added nutrition of quinoa!
This little blog is a whopping THREE years old this week! Can you believe Hummusapien is a toddler? I sure can't. They grow up so fast!
I don't think it's possible to describe to you how this space has changed my life, but I'll try. I know I'm usually funny and sarcastic and un-serious, but today I'm gonna be emotional for a hot minute.
Tears may or may not have been shed while I wrote this...
I want to take a moment to thank you all from the bottom of my hummus-loving heart for your support throughout this ridiculously crazy roller coaster of three years. Starting this blog was hands down the best decision I ever made, and probably the best decision I will ever make. The unparalleled feeling I get when you comment, when you tell me you loved a recipe, when you say you've been inspired, when you say you fell in love with your kitchen...there's honestly nothing like it. It's euphoric. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the friends I've made along the way and for your undying support and encouragement as readers and dear friends.
This blog is everything I am. It makes me better each day. It challenges me. It gives me direction. It gives me purpose.
This blog has enabled me to grow as a writer, blogger, photographer, cook, communicator, and friend in ways I never could have imagined. I never thought I would be here. Now there's no place I'd rather be!
I can only hope that my passion is contagious. I hope you catch a really bad case of it and go chase your dreams, too. I hope to never stop inspiring you to embrace your healthiest self, to eat the salted chocolate cookie when you want the damn salted chocolate cookie, to find the joy in cooking, to laugh at your mistakes and to grow bigger and better from them.
I hope that when like gives you chickpeas, you bake peanut butter banana chickpea cookies.
I hope that when life gives you quinoa, you stuff it in a crumble.

Hi Barb! So glad you found the site. Unfortunately I don't calculate that information. You can calculate nutrition info for free on sparkrecipes.com if you'd like. Sorry dear!

Just discovered your website! Very excited about using chia and quinoa. I have used both for the last couple of years.
I want to try the Banana Coconut Chia Pudding to switch up my breakfast fare. I belong to Weight Watchers and need to know the points values in order to calculate the points. In order to do that I need the fat, carbs, fibre and protein numbers. Do you have that information? If so , it would be greatly appreciated and would help tremendously with my weight loss.
Thanks!

We eat Quinoa in our household about 8 mnthos out of the year starting with Passover and continuing for about 8 mnthos before we move on or forget about it until the next time around! But we're going to definitely have to try the salad. The picture makes it look so good!
Alexis says
Fabulous! Hope you love the salad!

My dear Alexis. Where to begin. I know this is a blog comment and not a book, and that everyone is prob sick of hearing about my story and how you've changed my relationship with food & cooking and how I'm obsessed with you, but I don't think I'll ever get tired of talking about it. Alas, I will try to keep this brief (not working so far). Happy, happy, happiest of birthdays. Three is such a fun age! It's like you totally have a personality and have come into your own, but still have plenty to grow. Which is a good thing - I hope the day I stop growing as a person is the day that I die. Yikes, morbid. Onto happier thoughts... I am SO THANKFUL for Hummusapien, and so thankful for you. I'm getting emotional and am gonna tryyyy not to cry. Um, you are the best thing I've ever stumbled upon on the Internet. You have become one of my closest friends and I couldn't love you more. You have helped me want to be better to myself and see food as a way to love and care for myself vs. this crazy monster of a scary thing. You have helped me find purpose and passion, excitement, and a sense of accomplishment. You have helped me find myself underneath the fear. You STILL remind me, regularly, that perfect doesn't exist, that every body is different, and that all we can do is our best in this moment. In my eyes, you are an angel and my life is so much better with you in it. I look forward to reading your posts and making your recipes daily. You have helped shape a way of life for me that fits, that feels good, that I adore and embrace. You are an amazing friend, writer, blogger, RD, inspiration, recipe-developer, healthy-eater, photographer, and Hummusapien. You change lives, you chase dreams, you make things happen. I admire your sense of self, your outlook on life, your work ethic, your caring heart, and your authenticity. Thanks for being you, girlfriend. You are a gift to us all. <3 Oh, and I can't wait to make this recipe since I'm already in love with your skinny summer berry crisp. One note though - WHERE IS THE ICE CREAM?! xo.
