Lemon Lime Hummus
"This was the first hummus I made when I got my new food processor, and I'm never buying it at the store again! I got the recipe from PracticalYoga.tv and followed it exactly. I love the very fresh and bright flavors from the citrus fruits and how well the spices complement them. I eat it as a healthy snack on carrot and celery sticks.
The original recipe notes: "If you are going to use the zest of a citrus fruit it is important that you buy organic, since the outside peel houses most of the pesticides."
Note: Original recipe makes quite a lot. I usually halve the recipe for a week's worth of hummus for two."

This account belongs to a mother/daughter cooking team from Michigan. Daughter loves to cook, mother loves to help! We focus on fresh, local ingredients, especially from our own organic backyard garden, and we are in the process of eating less meat to improve the environment and our health. We have been enjoying new vegan and vegetarian recipes that we find on Recipezaar. In addition, we've decided that a sweet tooth must be genetic because we both absolutely adore occasional sweet treats like cookies, biscotti, cakes, and anything chocolate.
Our name comes from our slight obsession with the Zingermans commmunity of businesses in Ann Arbor. Absolutely the best places for great, full-flavored foods and really fun baking classes.
