Recipe Corber: Low Fat Hummus

Pic borrowed from allrecipies.com

I don't know about you, but I love hummus.  I love spreading it on crackers and pita bread.  This is a very easy recipe that is low-fat and low calorie.  You can definitely tell the difference, but it is still delicious.  It is important to remember that we all like different consistency, so add more or less lemon juice according to your preference.  And don't forget to swing by Crazy Daisy's Tuesday Tastes Party for some more yummy recipes.

Ingredients

• 1 (15.5 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained
• 1 clove garlic, peeled
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/3 cup fresh lemon juice
• 2/3 cup plain non-fat yogurt

Directions

1. In a blender or food processor, blend garbanzo beans until smooth. Mix in garlic, salt, lemon juice and yogurt. Blend to desired consistency.

Our House is No Longer Drowning!!!

For those of you who missed last week’s posts, let me fill you in real quick. Last Monday we got our water bill and we were absolutely floored at the amount we owed. We get our water bill every 2 months and we typically pay around $30 - $40. This bill, however, was $300! We were sure that they had made a mistake and read the meter incorrectly, but it turns out we has a busted pipe. The big problem was we didn’t know where it was busted. We, of course, feared the worse when we discovered our brilliant builders had laid the water pipe under the foundation. If a pipe broke under the house, it could have been disastrous for our house and for our bank account. Luckily, the pipe that broke was outside near the side of the house.

This enormous hole was dug by one of our good friends and his buddy. Our friend owns and runs a construction company and willingly offered his Saturday to us. We are so blessed to have such wonderful people in our life. It made this huge ordeal so much better. They found the leak on the first try and only had to dig this one hole in our yard rather than the entire yard as the plumbing company has quoted us on. Now about 40,000 gallons of water later, we can stop wasting water.
