Yesterday it rained! It was not the gross sticky hot kind of rain, it was real awesome cold rain. I took Max outside and he jumped around in puddles and absolutely loved it! It finally feels like fall to me. I just realized, as I looked around my house that I don't have one single fall decoration up..not even a string of leaves or a decorative pumpkin. SAD! I need to get on that. Anywhoo...We are a family who loves hummus, even little Max loves it. I decided I wanted to make a fallish (my computer does not think fallish is a word and insists on putting the red squiggly line underneath ) inspired little snack. I used this recipe as a guideline but made a couple tweaks and of course added butternut squash.
What you will need:
- 2 cups of butternut squash
- 1 can garbanzo beans
- 1/2 cup of tahini (sesame seed paste)
- 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. *If you don't have extra virgin olive oil you can use extra slutty olive oil. Hahaa I heard that the other day and was giggling for a good 5 or so minutes in my head. Funny.
- 2 cloves of garlic. I used to think a clove of garlic was the whole bulb of garlic....that was A LONG time ago ;) My poor husband.
- The juice from half of a lemon
- A dash of cumin
- 3 dashes (sorry I did not measure this exactly) of cinnamon
- 3-4 dashes of pepper
- Slice up the butternut squash into small pieces and boil for about 8-9 minutes or until soft.
- Throw all the ingredients into a food processor or blender and pulse until smooth and creamy.
- Enjoy!

Okay, so the olive oil comment was funny, but then I read the garlic comment and nearly spit coffee all over my keyboard. You silly girl. So did that make garlic lovers or haters out of you? :)

Just made some...great recipe! I added an extra clove of garlic and some salt since my tahini was unsalted. Quick way to cook the butternut squash is to halve it lengthwise and put face down in about an inch of water and microwave for about ten minutes; scooped right out. Thanks for the recipe!
we're still chuckling over the "slutty olive oil"... TFS the great recipe!

Oh,I'm so doing this today.
I love all your low-carb hints! Thanks. :>)
We had this recently at a restraunt served with fried pita chips with cinnamon and sugar on them! Fantastic, can't wait to try this recipe!
Just brewed up a batch of this to take to my sister's fall party tonight. The finger taste tests as I was transferring it to a serving bowl were bomb diggety. ;)
