Garlic Dip (shhhh...it's really hummus)

So I'll admit to getting a kick out of lying to my kids.  Well, when it comes to food and getting something in them that they normally wouldn't touch with a ten foot pole that is.  Especially with my daughter.  I swear that girl can tell when I use whole wheat flour vs. white.  Her "I don't like its" are outweighing her "likes" lately.  Sigh...

Anyway, I know this is not a fancy hummus recipe.  It's just your run of the mill, basic hummus.  BUT, I added some extra garlic, called it a dip, grabbed some crackers and let the kids have at it.  They both loved it!  haha - score one for mom!

Garlicy Hummus "Dip"

2 cans garbanzo beans, drained
juice of one lemon
4 tbsp tahini
4 cloves garlic
2 tsp salt
2 tbsp olive oil
ground pepper to taste

Place beans in blender and puree.  Add lemon juice, garlic, tahini and salt.  Blend until smooth.   Transfer to a serving bowl and top with olive oil and ground pepper.  That's it.  So easy that I cannot believe I didn't do this before.  I was actually BUYING hummus!  At the STORE!  Gasp!  Sorry Trader Joe's, one less item in my cart from here on out (although I really love their 3 layer hummus so I'll have to make it an occasional purchase).

The kids were having so much fun that they decided to do a little impromptu photoshoot for Kashi 7 grain crackers - we LOVE them!

What have you been purchasing at the store that you realized was super easy to make at home?
