O Hello Old Friend…

by Nicole on February 1, 2011

Hummus…how I’ve missed you. You are a great addition to my lunches and a perfect snack always waiting for me when I get home. I got sick of you awhile ago and I’ve so glad I’ve let you back into my life….

Chickpeas are one of the most versatile beans. They can be made in so many different ways, roasted, raw, baked, mashed, hummus-ed. I love them all equally, and I was glad when I made some this weekend. Hummus can be made traditionally, or with olives, roasted red peppers, sun dried tomatoes or even an avocado if you want to get really crazy.

Thank you so much for the comments yesterday on my big news. I look forward to working with some of you in the future!

After work I’m hitting up the treadmill for some intervals again. I’m not going to add any more mileage until next week. I’m thinking of running a mile straight today and then doing intervals for the rest. Yesterday I did Core Fusion Bootcamp which seems to be helping to strengthen my ankle. I cannot wait to get back to running longer distances and races. I’m so (emotionally) ready!!!!

What is a food that you’ve reintroduced into your life lately?

Another side note…. if anyone is really good at thinking of tag lines…PLEASE leave me a comment or email me. I’m trying to figure out a tagline for my health counseling business. There will be a reward for the best one!

I think I went through hummus burnout a while back…but it is back with a vengeance, now! I just made some of my own with sundried tomatoes yesterday. Never thought I’d enjoy my own hummus since I love it suuuuper smooth and creamy, but I do!
A I’ve reintroduced is…dates, maybe? I used to have them for a snack allll the time, sort of “forgot” about them, and now have them for snack and dessert :P
And huge congrats to you and your health counseling business. Can’t wait to see all that it brings to you :)

I loooooove hummus-I don’t think I could go a week with out it! I’d say a new food would be kale-I didn’t used to like it, then I steamed it and put it in pasta and loved it…now I crave it! (good craving to have)

I think mine would be kale too! On Friday I ate a whole bunch myself (cooked) and I chopped up head(?) to eat raw in salad this week. I haven’t had it in like a year and all of a sudden I’m loving it!

I need to start making my own hummus! I always wimp out and just buy it, but it’s such a cinch to make!

Lurv hummus. I really love making my own — it’s the ONE thing that I will pull out my food processor for. It’s so easy to tweak and make exactly how I like it!

So you like Core Fusion Bootcamp? I’m obsessed with Body Sculpt right now, but looking to add some variety… maybe Bootcamp is next.

I love chick peas in every form… especially hummus! Sometimes I forget how easy it is to make at home!

Is this the core fusion bootcamp dvd you use? http://www.amazon.com/Exhale-Fusion-Bootcamp-Elisabeth-Halfpapp/dp/B0039ZF8G4 I’m thinking of getting antoher DVD to spice up my workouts when I don’t have time/am too lazy to go to the gym

I need to lose contact with some foods, not be re-introduced! :P

I think I am going to give this recipe a try, I have never made hummus!

I have to make my own hummus because I’m deathly allergic to tahini and I have found only one hummus without it.

My favorite addition to hummus is avocado… mmmm.
