Alright daaaahlings, I know this is going to shock you, but today there is going to be a healthy recipie *gasps of shock-horror*. You see, Moi is on a quest. A quest that may never come to be, but a quest, nonetheless. What is it? Well, its the supermodel quest of course. I know my body shape, and I know I am never going to be stick thin (which is totally fine with me, because that’s not what I aspire to). Still, my figure has been undergoing a bit of neglect and I really need to reign myself in a bit: “Whoah Piggy!”
Hummus is totally delish and incredibly versatile. Its healthy, its cheap and super yummy. I like it on a toasted onion bagels with thin slices of tomato; I like it in a pita with falafel, and I love it as a dip, or as part of a mezze (which is like a Middle Eastern style tapas). Though I usually buy hummus, today I thought I’d try my hand at making some. Actually, why not, I have all the ingredients… that rarely happens.
p.s. Don’t think this means there is not going to be loads of fatty treats being posted here. I just have to try and use “moderation” 
. Doesn’t that word just kind of sound ugly? Kind of like “constipation” no?
