Shooky – thanks for your comment, in the recipe instructions I offered the tip to “Add more water if you want it a bit thinner to use as a dip.”? We like ours thicker, you can adjust to taste – that’s the whole point of making your own.

Recipe: Wheat-free Whole Grain Pancakes
Actually it’s not wheat – only wheat is wheat. Spelt is a GRAIN, and so is wheat. But spelt is not wheat. Brown rice is a grain, so is kamut, so is barley, rye and triticale. Read this for more information:

Oh you can see where we stopped in Texas on our 17,000 mile 5.5 month trip through the US and Canada here: http://www.youngsnowbirds.com/places-visited/

Jon, most people agree that Austin isn’t really Texas. It isn’t at all like the rest of the state and I can attest to that, having been to Austin and around it a bit. Not many people in Austin speak “Texan” with little or no accent. Hit southern Texas around Corpus Christi and regions around it and you’re in real cattle country, full on Texas towns.
Anyway, congrats, she’s gorgeous!

well you can’t really, that sorta defeats the purpose of using whole grains, not pre-processed flour. You won’t get the same fluffy pancakes unless you go buy some whole spelt. Try it, you’ll be pleasantly surprised by the results.
Recipe: Super Green St. Patricks Day Soup
Yes the whole leek, green and white parts. Spinach – hmm, that’s interesting – one bunch I’d say. Can’t remember now. You can’t really do it wrong.

1 shooky @ The hummus blog January 7, 2008 at 1:52 am: The recipe looks OK but there seems to be something wrong with the final texture of the hummus. It seems like Darlene didn’t add any water to it.

You can check my blog for some photos in which you can see how REAL hummus should look like. For instance, the famous Abu Shukri hummus in old Jerusalem. Or my very own hummus including the recipe.

3 Rob January 7, 2008 at 2:17 pm: Shook, we actually use a few different versions of the hummus recipe varying them slightly each time. We enjoy different versions and have not yet settled on one but felt that Hummus was an important enough recipe to get up as soon as possible. January is Beans and Legumes recipes here on the blog so it fit. This was the one we happened to make and photograph.

Thanks

AND… after completely trashing these awful Miracle Muffins, I’m happy to COMPLETELY and FULLY endorse your website.

Yes, Hummus is a nutritional powerhouse.

We’ll be looking around your blog a bunch more

I liked your blog too, and I hope I could contribute to the coming posts themed-months nicer comments…
I’m much less opinionated when the subject isn’t hummus, though.
5 Welmoed January 10, 2008 at 1:37 pm: This recipe and the Moroccan chicken went over very well in our household. Hubby had tried to make hummus before, but for some reason thought all you had to do was soak the chickpeas; he didn’t realize they needed to be cooked too! Now he knows better… and this first batch of hummus is a keeper!!
6 Annie April 3, 2008 at 2:28 pm: I love hummus! Even the kids will eat it. We like to put red pepper in ours.
