Cilantro Lime Hummus

Image
By azandersens
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 (15 ounce) cans garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
3 tablespoons lime juice
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 cup olive oil
3/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
2 jalapeno peppers, seeded and minced

In food processor, pulse garlic. Add beans, lime juice and salt. Puree. Slowly add olive oil and blend until thick, 1-2 minute. Add cilantro and jalapeno, pulse 10 seconds. Transfer to bowl, and chill a few hours to allow flavors to meld.

My friend Tammy brought this to book club the other night, and all I can say is that I wanted to take the whole container and pour it in my mouth (David Letterman-drinking-Egg Nog-from-the-punch bowl-style).

This was delicious! Now I don't have to spend extra $$ at Fresh and Easy for theirs. I followed your recipe, only I used fresh lemon juice instead of lime. By the way I'm a friend of Kelli's. :)

Sprinkles' Lemon Buttercream Frosting

By
1 cup butter, softened 3 3/4 cups confectioners' sugar juice and zest of one lemon 1 tsp. vanilla 1/8 tsp. salt Combine butter, sugar, and salt and beat till well combined. Add lemon juice, zest, and vanilla and continue to beat for another 3 to 5 minutes or until creamy. I made this for lemon cupcakes for a baby shower and it was so good! I did add a little more sugar so it was a little stiffer and easier to pipe with a decorating tip.

Pizza on the BBQ

We are addicted to pizza on the barbecue. It's the yummiest homemade pizza. You've got to try it while its still good BBQ weather. 1. Turn your grill to a really low setting. 2. Make your dough (any old recipe), gather pizza sauce and mozzarella and the toppings of your choice. I hear Fresh and Easy has a pizza dough you just buy in a little bag, all ready to go. 3. Spray a piece of wax paper (or foil) with Pam and roll out your dough to a size that will fit on your grill. 4. Carefully flip the dough onto your grill and close the lid. Get all your other ingredients outside. It only takes a couple minutes for the dough to cook. 5. Flip the dough over and quickly top the baked side with sauce, cheese and toppings. Bert and I always do this part together so it goes a little faster. Close the lid to melt the cheese but don't burn the second side. Sometimes we even turn the grill off but keep the pizza on the warm grill. Walla! Pizza on the BBQ. You'll feel like you work at ...
