Hummus
Hummus is chick pea puree originating from the Middle East. It is perfect as a dip or sandwich spread. My kids will actually eat this!
2-3 medium cloves garlic, sliced
a TBSP of parsley
3 cups chick peas (canned, or dry ones soaked and cooked)
6 TBSP tahini (found in any store, ethnic section)
6 TBSP fresh lemon juice
3/4 tsp salt
OPTIONAL: roasted red peppers, extra garlic, cumin, or cayenne
Place everything in a food processor, or blender, and blend until creamy, adding water as needed. More recipes to come for ways to use hummus.
In the last few days, I have spent time thinking about what I need to be teaching my daughters as they grow older in this fallen world. I recently took my oldest daughter to "Secret Keepers", a wonderful tour created to teach little girls to feel respected and secure by knowing they are accepted and loved by their Father in heaven. The truths applied to little and "big" girls alike. Our insecurities keep us from an intimate relationship with God, and sometimes keep us from more fulfilling and loving marriages and friendships. We were taught to replace the insecure "lies" with knowledge that we are all princesses of the King!
...and the king will desire your beauty. - Psalm 45:11
Hang in there! Just a few more days of winter.
what a great thing to take her to! and what a lesson for the "big" girls as well! miss you
