Garlic Hummus

    So, generally hummus is made with chick peas and tahini. I decided to leave out the tahini this go around. I'm crazy about hummus! My brother introduced me to it years ago and it's been a go-to snack ever since! It's a part of my meal prep mission. Since it's so ridiculously easy to make, I've decided I'm going to double this recipe and portion it out for snacks. I'm pretty impressed with this stuff. I love to eat hummus with cucumbers but, I'm positive that it would be great with some pita chips or carrots as well.
