Hummus (Serves 8)
Delicious and easy Lemon Basil Hummus is an easy recipe that I make and have on hand all the time. I use it instead of mayo on sandwiches and I even have it as a snack with veggies. My favorite way though is having it with my homemade pita chips. So Good! The recipe for the pita chips is on my website as well.
