I have a question. I do not use canned chickpeas. I prefer to soak the beans overnight and boil them in the morning. Would the measurement for me be the same, still 2 cups of chickpeas?? Thanks, Mark

This is how I make my hummus too! I don't add the parsley, but other than that....it's dead on. Give this a try, you will love it! In my opinion, the cumin is what really makes this delicious!

I am a 39 year old, single woman. I work as a full time cashier at a Wal Mart super center. I absolutely love my job most of the time. When I am not working I have a flock of 9 parrots, 7 Budgies and 2 cockatiels that keep me on my toes. I also love to read and cook.
