Ever realize you’ve just totally been missing the boat on something?\u00a0 Happens to me all the time.<\/p>\n

Until recently, I’d never eaten hummus.\u00a0 Like , practically, never had a bite of it.<\/p>\n

Why?\u00a0 I have it in my head that I don’t like Middle Eastern Food.\u00a0 And it’s true that I don’t like olives, or grape leaves, or sheep, or big scary rotating disks of mystery meat or baklava or feta or couscous.<\/p>\n

But what the hell was my problem with hummus<\/em>?\u00a0 It’s beans, garlic and some sesame.\u00a0 What’s not to like?\u00a0 Also, it’s one of the healthiest things you can eat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I’ve been working on my diet and I’m always looking for 1) healthy snacks, 2) ways to upgrade my fresh vegetable intake and 3) ways to incorporate more beans into my diet (beans are one of the easiest health foods to incorporate into your diet and most Americans don’t like them, it’s weird).\u00a0<\/p>\n

So I bought my first container of Tribe Brand Sweet Roasted Red Pepper hummus this week and I am loving it.\u00a0 Even better, despite the titular sweetness, there is no sugar in it.<\/p>\n

Next step:\u00a0 making my own tahini and hummus.\u00a0 How hard could it be?<\/p>\n
