Here's what's easy: Hummus!

Remember when I said the food processor was my best friend (hopefully you do, because it was yesterday)? Here’s one reason why:

Hummus:

• 1 can drained garbanzo beans (chickpeas)
• 1 can drained white kidney beans (or another can of garbanzos for the purists out there)
• 2 cloves garlic (peeled)
• lemon juice (1/2 lemon)
• 1/2 tsp salt (or to taste)
• 1 tbsp sesame seeds

Dump all that stuff in a food processor and blend. Take it and put it in your face. Maybe via bread or crackers (see MarysGoneCrackers.com for amazing crackers) Total time from “Boy, hummus would be good right about now,” to “nom nom nom”: about 5 minutes.

Honestly, you could probably do this with almost any beans. Try it!

Best part? Most hummus has olive oil and tahini (2 no-nos on my new plan) and I didn’t have to add either of those for it to still be yummy. It’s a little less creamy but I’m willing to pay that price. For SCIENCE!
