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:Directions:

- 2 cloves of garlic (or one large)
- 1/4 cup of olive oil
- 1/8 cup of tahini
- 1 tbs. lemon juice
- Salt to taste
Voila!
