Happy Red Pepper Almond Hummus
adapted by Eat, Drink and Be Vegan
Makes about 3 cups
• 2 cups cooked garbanzos
• 1/2 cup red bell pepper, diced
• 1/2 cup almonds
• 2 tbps olive oil

• 1 tsp red pepper flakes

Throw almonds in food processor and let them spin 'till a powder forms. Add remaining ingredients and process until smooth. Add water to thin dip, if desired (I like the thickness, so I didn't add any water and it turned out wonderful). Garnish with almonds, and a drizzle of olive oil.

Phew! I love sharing recipes. I think it's my new favorite verb. Today was wonderful, as was church, as was cooking, as was pizza, as was movie night (Flipped - go see it, hubby said it was the best love story he's ever watched [agreed]. Amazin'). Besides all of the lovely recipes that went down today, a bunch of other awesome food made an appearance as well. Run down in one... two... THREE!
after church snack: 2 zucchini quinoa muffins + sweet orange.
freshly cooked pinto + black beans in their tasty Tupperware.
incredible rainbow colored pizza with homemade seitan sausages
fresh pineapple is the best creation ever made.
sigh... if only weekends lasted for weeks! time to wind down, and mentally prep for the week ahead. Giving it to God, trusting in His plans for my life and giving Him any of the road bumps I run into this week! Trust. I must admit, I'm a bit nervous for this week since I will be attempting to run again for the first time in a full week. I know it's in God's hands and He knows exactly what He is doing, so I need to prepare for whatever is about to come my way. Oh 5:00am, what do you have prepared for me?
Now to Him [God] who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to His power that is at work within us, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21
I inspired that bread? Wow, howd that happen? lol That bread sounds delicious! I am totally going to give your much improved version a try :) All the recipes here look amazing actually, ESPECIALLY the pancakes!!
