Hummus with a Kick

May 15, 2020 · In: Recipes

If you’re like me, then you often have a can of chickpeas on hand. They are one of the most versatile plant proteins around. I have done everything from throwing them into a curry sauce to throwing them in the air fryer for a fun crunchy snack. Today, I am sharing one of the classic ways to enjoy chickpeas–as hummus! 

The great thing about hummus is that as long as you have a good base, its very customizable. I prefer my hummus to have a little kick of spice, but if you don’t then just remove the spicy bits. No harm, no foul! Play with your preferred amounts of salt, garlic, and spiciness. I’m totally one of those peoples that ignore guidelines for those ingredients because I feel like recipes online rarely use enough. I won’t be offended if you do this same with this recipe (that the fun of cooking!). 

Serve the hummus on the side of some veggies and pita chips, as a spread on a sandwich, or on a homemade Cava bowl. Trust me, you want to try out that last one! When I first discovered the deliciousness of making your own Cava bowl at home, I ate it for 4 days straight. The homemade hummus was definitely a big part of that (wink). 

Below is the recipe for how I create my homemade Hummus with a Kick:

There were so many pressings to choose from and the addition of the bonus “mystery” song made the decision even harder. I didn’t actually research if this @urbanoutfitters exclusive pressing had “obsessed” so 🤞🏾

Trying the *NEW* Pumpkin Spice Frosty Cream Cold B Trying the *NEW* Pumpkin Spice Frosty Cream Cold Brew | Pumpkin Taste Test 2

After trying the pumpkin spice frosty from Wendy’s earlier this week, I was curious about how it would taste in their coffee drink! 

Have you tried them yet? 

Stay tuned for more pumpkin taste tests 🎃🤗

PUMPKIN SPICE FROSTY!?? Y’all know I had to jump on this—it was put on my calendar as soon as I saw the first press release 🤣😍😂. TDLR: looks like my “boo” book will be put to good use during this seasonal release. 

I never make it to Wendy’s in the morning but I heard that they have coffee options using this frosty and I’m curious to know how it would taste! Would you try the pumpkin spice frosty?
