Do you like hummus? Do you make it or buy it ?

I make my own with beans I’ve cooked in the Crockpot. Tastes a lot better than the purchased types.

Yes, it's very nice. I buy it though. I'd love to taste your homemade stuff.

@Wraithorn what motivated me most to make it is that most of the hummus types have raw garlic in them and I can’t eat it raw, cooked is fine though. I cooked my beans in the slow cooker all night. Trying not to use canned beans because of the chemicals in the plastic lining, really easy to make them in the Crockpot though, just have to make sure they have enough water so they don’t burn. I’ve made my refried beans with small red beans, have a lot more flavor than the pinto beans that the canned refried beans have. I had hummus with carrots, cucumber slices & celery for lunch, very satisfying.

That's an awesomely healthy and tasty lunch. I'd give the celery a miss but otherwise it sounds great.

@Wraithorn I drank a glass of celery juice about an hour before I had the hummus & veggies. Have had some inflammation going on lately, it makes my insides feel good after I drink it.

@cherokeepatti I'm sure your body appreciates all the thought you put into your food Patti.

@Wraithorn doesn’t take much for me to get inflamed. I guess I need to give up the coffee in the morning, and not have anything with caffeine even tea.

@cherokeepatti You'll need to drink more Rooibos tea then. 🙂
