    Easy-Peasy Hummus


    We haven’t gone grocery shopping yet for the upcoming week, so our reserves are low. I found an old bag of Stacy’s Pita Chips (Rosemary and Black Olive–yum!) that have preserved miraculously well. I decided to whip up a little hummus for some additional protein:

    4. 1/8 cup of tahini
    5. 1 tbs. lemon juice
    6. Salt to taste

    Voila!

Since I really like my multivitamin, I decided to go with the same brand: Rainbow Lite.

    It was so easy to fall into really unhealthy habits during the break. First it was the 15-hour road trip (our two primary options are veggie burgers at Burger King and Taco Bell). Then it was trays of snackie foods at my parents’ house and dinners … Read More
