YahooIs it the spring solstice that creates longings for our inner chickpeas? It is SOMEthing because the easy, tasty garbanzo bean spread called hummus is appearing on food blogs everywhere. At Gluten Free Goddess, find Jalapeno & Lime Hummus. Zen Foodism created a Mediterranean Hummus. Simply Recipes calls for roasted tahini in her basic hummus. ToastPoint loves a Spicy Hummus. And 28 Cooks tried a Thai Basil Hummus -- with peanut butter!

And lest you think it's just the foodies ... the Hopeless Optimist gushes about her love affair with hummus. And, get this, Peanut Tales says her cat Cloe likes hummus with sweet tea!

There is something Going On!
Kalyn Denny April 6, 2006 - 5:45amThere is something telepathic going on with these chickpeas for sure. I just created a recipe for Marinated Mini-Pepper Salad with Chickpeas and Olives that I'll be posting next Tuesday for Sweetnicks ARF event (that's anti-oxidant rich foods for you non foodies). Chickpeas are a "good" carb for the South Beach Diet so I can't wait to check out all the hummus recipes.
