I. ♥. HUMMUS!
No really, I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE hummus!
I showed you already how to make the most amazing, creamiest hummus from scratch. Once you make this you will never, EVER buy that store-bought stuff again!
Next I shared with you a twist on the classic hummus by using oven roasted cauliflower. Roasted Cauliflower Hummus?! I know, right! It’s beyond amazing!
While you all commented how much you loved both a bunch of you said that you had a really, really hard time finding Tahini which is a staple in making hummus. Sure you can order it online or locate it in specialty food stores but you often pay out the wazoo for a small jar.
What if I told you that you could make your own tahini from scratch, at home, using only 3 ingredients?
No really, you can make your own!
It’s super, SUPER simple and saves you a bajillion dollars.
Well okay, not exactly a bajillion but still a butt load.
Hmmm.. how much money technically equals a butt load? I guess it would go by the size of the booty? LOL
Yeah… I tend to wonder things like this. Strange, I know but you love me *wink*
But seriously, this is one of the EASIEST recipes to make.
