Sooooo Delicous!!! Hummus, Hummus Everywhere

Hummus....what exactly is it?....Well if you don't already know...Hummus is this delicous dip from veggies, chips, and so much more made out of chick peas.  After the chick peas are ground up, most people add spice and other ingredients such as garlic, salt, roasted red pepper, and the list goes on and on.  When at Trader Joe's Today I picked up some of their delicious Three Layer Hummus...

This hummus is made of the Zesty Cilantro, their traditional, and roasted red pepper hummus...what a delightful snack.  Also while on my hummus kick I wanted to know if there we any websites soley created from hummus...well to my surprise I guessed right! :)

Hummus Bros....http://www.hbros.co.uk/  They are from the UK...website may not be too flashy but the are pretty quirky

Hummus Place...http://www.hummusplace.com/  This company actually in New York, but people rave about it like hot cakes!!!


Athenos...http://www.athenos.com/#/home  This website also included maybe spreads and pitas too!  You can buy these items in local grocers...


But my pick is always Trader Joe's...Happy Hummus Eating :)

Why Trader Joe's IS better than Walmart!

We all know the the crazy Walmart lines, the bright florescent lights, and all the same ol' food we buy each week...Walmart is just one of those huge retail stores where you will find those everyday items.  BUT! With Trader Joe's you get fresh food and a friendly neighborhood environment to browse their many different, yet simple and easy to make groceries and products.  Trader Joe's is also for those with a small budget.  Walking out of the store and only spending $40 on groceries for two weeks is better than $80 for a weeks worth from Walmart or any other grocer.

Trader Joe's also only sells their brand or other small retailers brand of product.  I have found these products have more time and effort put into the creation process.

Check out some of the latest Trader Joe Products I picked up at the store:

The Trader Joe's Wild Berry Blueberries in the back are also to die for and are able to be frozen for smoothies, too!  You will also see the pasta to the left which is fantastic paired with their red and yellow roasted peppers shown.  All of these products can also be found of their website... http://www.traderjoes.com/products.asp.  Although you cannot purchase items from the website it will give you nutritional facts and also recipes to use your recently bought products! :) Tune in next time for a tasty Fire Roasted Yellow & Red Pepper Grilled Turkey Sandwich Recipe :) Happy Shopping!
