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.
