Hummus a Tune

Since the beginning of forever I've been on a HUGE hummus kick. It is the best snack that can be enjoyed with endless VEGI options//my favs: cucumber, carrot, cherry tomatoes, and broccoli. I have tried almost every brand there is on the market and always end up spending $5+ on my yummy little snack, that is usually devoured in less than 3 days LOL. I yet again hit the World Wide Web to do some recipe research and also to find out what is in this little delicacy. What I found was eye opening!! Hummus, is the by far the easiest recipe that I have come across. After making the good ol' ORIGINAL STYLE a hand full of times, I went searching for something more.....THUS I have found it....a COMBINATION of 2 of my favorite things. I present to you AVOCADO HUMMUS.

This hummus is rich, creamy, and absolutely amazing! Not only does regular hummus help lower cholesterol, maintain your weight, and reduce the risk of cancer, but add avocado to that and you will be boosting your potassium, adding heart healthy fats to your diet, and they are packed with fiber. Without further ado.. heres step by step recipe that is my obsession. :)

WHAT YOU NEED:

1½ cups (1 Can) Chickpeas rinsed and drained from a can or soaked and cooked

1 Avocado

small handful fresh Cilantro

2 tablespoons fresh Lime Juice

5 tablespoons Water

½ teaspoon Salt

1 - 2 Garlic Cloves (optional)

Dash of cumin

Dash of chili powder

WHAT TO DO:

Place all ingredients in either a Blender--I used my vitamix--or food processor and blend until smooth...side note, if you use a food processor, your hummus will be on the "THICKER" side.

Serve with your favorite vegi or some yummy salty pita chips.

ENJOY!!!

I'm Rebooching!

I know it has been over a year since I've updated this. So here it goes, my reboot! So I have always wondered why I was spending so much $$$ on buying Kombucha

@ at least $4+ a bottle, when making your own seemed "easy" enough. I did some research and found out that I could make my very own SCOBY from using GTS ORIGINAL KOMBUCHA

CLICK HERE to find out how I made my own scoby!!!

OK now for the actual process of brewing your very own kombucha tea.

SUPPLIES:

1. One Scoby

2. One Glass Jar (I used a quart sized ball jar)

3. A Quarter Cup Organic Plain Sugar Per Quart

4. Three Organic Black Tea Bags Per Quart

(I used

5. A Quarter Cup Left Over Previously Brewed Komucha Tea Per Quart

6. H2O

WHAT TO DO: Bring H2O to a boil--add sugar and make sure it's completely dissolved.

Pour water with dissolved sugar into glass jar

Add your three tea bags to the jar and cover with a coffee filter or a cheese cloth and secure with a rubber band

Set aside and let steep/cool

TEA MUST BE AT ROOM TEMPERATURE BEFORE ADDING SCOBY

Once tea has cooled remove tea bags and add your previously brewed tea. Lastly with CLEAN hands place scoby inside glass jar, cover with coffee filter and secure it with rubber band.

Place in cool place for 8-10 days!!!

Sooooo...that was simple enough!
