As promised...

In the last blog I said that I would put up a yummy sandwich recipe that you can make with the hummus from the last entry. So, HERE IT IS!!!! yay!! This is super easy and makes a quick lunch for on the go.

Put about 2 tablespoons of the hummus on a tortilla (I use the basil/tomato ones from Smart and Delicious) add some thin slices bell pepper (any color) and then just a handful of lettuce! Roll up and enjoy!!

If I wasn't always running behind in the morning, i think grilling the pepper would be really good. Also, I think you could add any other sorts of veggies to this wrap. Annie really likes mushroooms, so for those of you that like fungus, that might be enjoyable.

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus

I made up this recipe for super good low calorie hummus from a variety of different recipes, and it doesn't take that many ingredients! Throw 1 can of chickpeas (drained), 1/4 cup fat free plain yogurt, 1-2 cloves (or more if you are a garlic lover) garlic all chopped up, 2-3 pieces of roasted red peppers. Blend until smooth. If you like smoother hummus you can add some of the chickpea juice or a little more yogurt. Mine also thickened up some over night.

You can use this for dip with veggies, as a dressing on sandwhiches (coming soon!), or with some crackers or pita.

Also, *very* important I bought some chickpeas that had 3.5 grams of fat, which seems high, later I found some at Trader Joes that were 20 less calories and 2.5 grams of fat less.... so, just remember that all cans of chickpeas are not created equal.

And.... for anyone who doesn't know, garbanzo beans and chickpeas = same thing :)
