I'm in a serious relationship with hummus. Like Facebook official.
Don't fall off your chair or anything.
Remember that super weird but super delish chocolate peanut butter dessert hummus I posted recently? Of course you do! Did you make it?! Are you obsessed?! I cried when it was gone. So then I made this.
Remember when green smoothies weren't trendy yet and the thought of adding a handful of salad to your morning smoothie sounded about as good as smearing butter on celery? Well you just wait--sweet hummus is totally gonna be the next big thing. Hopefully the next fad diet isn't anti-legume.
This is chocolate peanut butter dessert hummus's second cousin once removed. It tastes like sweet, cinnamonny heaven and it's just begging to be slathered on gala apples slices. BEGGING.
Have you guys ever had Trader Joe's medjool dates? They're sold in the refrigerated section and they are completely life-changing. Like, they changed my life. They're big and juicy and beyond perfection. I hate those little dry dates that give my food processor cardiac arrhythmias. Since the TJ's ones blend up so perfectly in smoothies, I decided to swap out some of the maple syrup for a couple of these dates. Worked like a charm! If you don't have access to a TJ's, you can use Medjool dates from wherever and I'm sure it'll work just fine. The key to this hummus is blending it for a good three minutes and then letting it chill and firm up. Hummus heaven.
To lighten it up and deem it snack-worthy (and so I didn't have to use "dessert" in the title), I used less nut butter and less maple syrup. AKA eat allllllllll the hummus. Hashtag hummusisafoodgroup. As is almond butter.
Guys. This is a helluva hummus.

Right here is the perfect webpage for anyone who really wants to understand this topic.
You understand a whole lot its almost hard to argue with you (not that I really will

Wonderful stuff, just great!

Na mal ehrlich: Was hätte man anderes vom türkischen Botschafter erwarten können. In gewisser Weise waren seine Aussagen vorhersehbar und insofern nicht wirklich überraschend. Aber offenbar sind inzwischen wieder ein paar mehr aufgewacht, die vielleicht schon bald zur Einsicht kommen, dass die Türkei nichts in der EU verloren hat. Ähnliches gilt - mutatis mutandis - für den Beitritt der noridfrakanischen Staaten, der von den Brüsseler Eliten schon angedacht wird.

I made this yesterday for a brunch I hosted - everyone loved it and it made everyone quite happy, except for my daughters who came home from school to find only a very small taste left for them. Guess what I am making this morning .....

So I'm not on the dessert hummus train yet (forgive me), but I did just buy a giant tub of hummus so I can have snack lunches all week. I owe that to you and your hummus obsession and Running With Spoons snack plate pictures. I'm excited if that helps. No...oh well, it was worth a shot.
