Fifty-Two Dinners

One new recipe a week for a year. That was the original goal set as a New Year's resolution way back in 2009.

It didn't happen. Nor did it happen in the following years.

But I have continued posting and striving to try one new recipe a week. Some months it happens. Some months it doesn't.

And along the way I've picked up readers from across the country who occasionally pop in to see what's cooking.

Clearly there are better food blogs than mine.

But if you're looking for quick, easy, and healthy with a dash of humor... I'm glad to share what I can.

Avacado Hummus

Remember my last attempt at hummus?  When I decided that it was easier to just buy the good stuff at the store?

I take back everything I said.  I can make hummus.  Here's the proof:

INGREDIENTS

  1. 1 can of white beans, drained and rinsed
  2. 1 avocado, cubed
  3. juice from 1/2 of a lime
  4. 1 tablespoon + 1 teaspoon of olive oil (a lower fat option: substitute oil for juice from the beans)
  5. 1/2 teaspoon sea salt
  6. 1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
DIRECTIONS

Mix together well (in a blender or food processor).  Serve.


VERDICT

Delicious.  I'm so glad that I'm completely ADD sometimes (I like to call it creative inattention) because it leads to recipes like this.  It is 10am on a week day morning and I'm actually at home working.  But this recipe I printed off pinterest caught my eye and I knew I had an avacado that needed to be used up.  Five minutes later I'm back on e-mail and the hummus is in the fridge, just waiting to be devoured tonight.  Success!
