Avocado Hummus

[Guest guest]

Oh my this sounds really good. And guess what...I found tahini at my

grocery store! They had with all the pickle things...go figure. It was

so expensive (over $5) but I got it anyway. It'll last us a while.

 

I need to go to the store and get garlic, so I'll pick up some

avocados, too. Mmm, I'll make this and serve it with the left over

falafel tonight.

Tahini with the pickles?? The one regular store I find marmite in

puts it with the baking powder, cracks me up!

 

I've been making hummus this summer with out the tahini, my doc is

concerned that my daughter may have nut allergies & for the time

being we are not giving her any (though she got walnuts in bread

pudding on our recent trip & was fine...two weeks of eating out, I'm

so glad to be back in the kitchen...didn't ever think I'd say

that!!). It is not quite the same, but is pretty good nonetheless.

Just a thought in a pinch!
