HealthiER Recipe of the day...Curry Currant Hummus that will keep you humming....

I could literally eat this by the spoonful, no dippers necessary, just give me a spoon. I haven't craved something this bad since I was pregnant with my daughter and ate grainy mustard by the spoonful from the fridge.  Note to self:  In retrospect, that was probably a huge red flag that I was pregnant.

Oh my gosh, so every month at  our local Recreation Center they have a farmers market, where you can find all sorts of yummy, organic, pure goodies.  This last month I have become a huge fan and I'm not to proud to admit, a full fledged addict of one certain product.  Now, since the market isn't easily on hand, I found myself thinking about, dreaming about and craving this one yummy, "savory with a bit of sweet" treat.

Thus began my mission to find this recipe for Curry Currant Hummus and to cheaply and easily recreate it in my very own  kitchen.   Go me!

I have to say, this is so much tastier than the regular few varieties of traditional hummus's that most people make or buy at local supermarkets.  I use it a few different ways:

1) I keep a variety of veggies in the fridge so I can easily dip into it during the day for a quick snack when I can't survive until the next meal time.

2) I spread it on brown rice cakes which if you want to really live life on the edge, you could add veggies on top of as well!

3) I throw it into a wrap or pita with sprouts or veggies of choice for the day or it can go on any sandwich, panini or grilled cheese you make!

Nobody has complained that I stink yet, so that's a bonus.  And best of all, this new found yummy treat fits perfectly into my better eating, healthier living lifestyle "changes" I'm attempting to make!

Hope you enjoy it as much as I do!
