What is a girl to do when faced with a gallon of chickpeas?

Make hummus of course!

costco size jar of chickpeas - compared to size of apple

Combine chickpeas in food processor with...

juice of 1 lemon

1 clove garlic

1/2 cup of tahini

2 tbs olive oil

add sea salt and pepper to taste

Enjoy on whatever you wish!

Quark

No, not the atomic particle, the cheese.

Purchased from the one and only  - COSTCO

The label calls it a replacement for cream cheese, but I think that it tastes more like a thick sour cream.
It comes in many fat percentages, costco only carried 95% fat free (aka 5% fat).

I wish it had more bone-building calcium, but it otherwise has great stats.

 Spread on whole wheat toast with these juicy peaches for a great breakfast!

After a few bites, I added some cinnamon, which finished it perfectly!

 Check back later this week for a homemade quark recipe!

Have you ever made homemade yogurt or cheese yourself?

Nuts for Nut Butter

Recently I have discovered a love for homemade almond butter. I was never a huge fan of the peanut variety, but almond butter is the food of gods. But until today, I had never ventured out to the world of other nuts.

Yesterday's costco trip brought back an exciting new find.

I couldn't wait to try out cashew buter!!!

Definitely worthy of a thumbs up, and my dad seconded that.

Still not as good as almond butter, but still pretty good.
I can't wait to have this for breakfast tomorrow!
