Hummus is something that is almost always in our fridge. I use to buy it pre-made but then I realized I could save buckets of money by making it myself. I’ve made a bunch of different flavors…. garlic, jalapeno, horse radish, mustard, red pepper, spicy red pepper and sun dried tomato are a few I’ve tried. Sun dried tomato is the one featured here.
