Lima Bean Hummus ~ Cooking for Two

 

Lima Bean Hummus (my recipe)

1 can of lima beans, drained and rinsed
2 cloves of garlic, minced (we used home grown)*
1/3 cup tahini (dry roasted seeds, but any tahini will work)
2 Tbsp. plus 2 tsp. real lemon juice (from a fresh lemon)
1/4 cup water
2 Tbsp. olive oil
1/4 tsp. salt

Mix everything in a food processor until smooth.  Adjust salt and garlic if needed.  If you do not grow your own garlic, you may need to add more to adjust flavor. Our homegrown garlic is loaded with flavor.

My husband loves Liam beans and would love this! Me? Not so much but I can surprise him with this. Thanks Kristina
Debby you are welcome. I bought some canned lima beans and needed a way to use them, and this was perfect. Funny thing is that I created a small batch for the two of us, but we found that we ate it very quickly and wanted more, ha ha! The lemon juice could be adjusted too. I had a small lemon and measured the lemon juice, but some lemons may be larger. It's not exact, but pretty close to getting it the texture you'd like.

Apples and Tomatoes Oh My!

  The early morning weather here has been downright chilly.  One morning it was 42 degrees.  Flower beds have been weeded.  The herb garden is next in line, but I do need to figure out what to do with all the rosemary plants I planted in the actual vegetable garden.  I have not mastered keeping them alive all winter indoors.  They will not survive the winter if left outside. Did any of my blog writing followers locate a better "blog" platform online?  Just curious if anyone is moving from blogger. 

Under the Weather ~ What's Growing?

  I have not been around in blogland much, due to being under the weather after I pushed myself way to far one day.  I have to remember we cannot do it all in one day.  Thank goodness for teas and tinctures, and healing foods (and rest).  We are feeling better. As for our blogs being used for advertising on many websites, and so forth (I can't see any other reason for the source of views: howstuffworks, dominospizza, mayoclinic {not the blog readers interested in my actual blog}) the numbers continue to climb.  I have not found a way to "opt" out either.  If any of you find a new way to avoid this, blog elsewhere, find a new platform etc, please be sure to share.   If your blog has ads, you are are not going to complain, ha ha!  You are probably making a bucko-bucks with all these visitors to your blog. Okay, back to the update post . . .

16 Weeks Until Christmas

  It's not hard to believe that we are traveling closer to the winter holidays.  I'm trying to focus on enjoying every single day until then, but I am fitting in a few snippets of holiday preparing.  Christmas is my favorite holiday of the year.  It's hard to believe it's the last day of August. I have not yet gotten rid of the links to all the advertisers using my blog posts, but again, still working on it. However, my profile has gone from my blog, and while I am in settings, it is not able to add as a "gadget" to the blog.  Weird things are happening.   Google had a data breach recently as well, so gmail users were advised to change passwords.  Not sure what else is going on, but just in case you are wondering why my "profile" is not on my blog any longer.   Okay, back to the Christmas countdown post . . .
