I usually don’t ask my Hubby R1 to go to the grocery store to get stuff for me. He always ends up with too many items in the shopping cart.. a lot more than what I had asked him to bring. R1 would always throw a tub of hummus in the cart as he loves to have them with chips at home. That was until I figured out these simple hummus recipes. Honestly this tastes way better than anything we tasted or have found at the store and that brings us to the post of the day … Homemade Hummus Trio.
