What you will find in this blog


Crafts, recipes, tips and tricks around the house. In olden days, as far back as 1950 if you can imagine, there would be a great many things that your mother would teach you so that you might one day be a good housewife. A lot of those things have fallen away. Mostly because you no longer NEED to know them, like how to decorate a cake or quilt a blanket. But just because you don’t need to know these things doesn’t mean they aren’t fun to know. Most of the things I’ll be showing you are things that I’ve found helpful in my life or that I just wanted to learn. You can also find links to buy kits for making the crafts you see here or the project already completed. So ENJOY!!!

My Triumphant Return with a Recently Perfected Hummus Recipe!!!

Goodness Gracious me!!! Has beeeeeen so long? I will not try to defend my in-defensible absence from my own blog. I will only say that my life got a bit out of hand and in order to get my house, well..in order I took a break from my extracurriculars. I am sorry and have missed you ever so much.

This recipe is so insanely easy and yet has been tricky to get it right. I'm glad to say that I think I'm got the sucker down.


Ingredients:
1 15oz can Garbonzo Beans with juice(AKA Chickpeas)
1 Med Clove Garlic
1 6.5 oz Jar Greek Kalamata Olives, drained(this is the weight drained)(The one I buy is from Trader Joe's. It's in red wine vinegar brine)

Instructions:
Put the ingredients in a blender. Blend until smooth. Done. (If you want to mince the garlic you can or if you put it into the blender first it will kinda mince itself) You can add spices to taste. I wouldn't recommend salt, the olives are pretty salty already.


This makes about 3 cups of hummus and is 160 calories per 1/2 cup. One thing I like to do is label the item with a sticky note. Stickers don't unstick well enough and it's not like the container is going to have hummus in it forever.


Hope you like it. I sure do.
