<\/a>I made a yummy dressing to go on top, but I accidentally made it too spicy for the kids.\u00a0 Brad and I loved it, and we ate it all week on chips and veggies.<\/p>\nIt doesn’t have a name…<\/p>\n
Green and Good Salad Dressing<\/span><\/p>\n Cilantro, Lime, Jalapeno Salad Dressing<\/span><\/p>\n Jalapeno Salad Dressing Spicy Cilantro Salad Dressing!<\/strong> (I don’t know!\u00a0 I think I’m delirious, so that sounds fine for now)<\/p>\n Complete recipe below.<\/p>\n Roughly chop the following…<\/p>\n 1 Jalapeno<\/p>\n Ingredients:<\/p>\n Roughly chop the Jalapeno, Garlic, Avocado, and Cilantro.\u00a0 Combine all ingredients in a food processor.\u00a0 Blend until smooth.\u00a0 Eat with raw veggies, chips, on a salad, or just drink it.<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n Hot Sauce…Picante Sauce…Salsa…whatever you want to call it!<\/p>\n This is Kellie’s<\/a> recipe…basically.\u00a0 Because I’m ME, I had to change it up just a bit.\u00a0 Kellie, Mere<\/a>, Tiffany<\/a>, and I get together about once a week for girl time.\u00a0 We always have hot sauce, hummus, and chocolate.\u00a0 Might not sound good, but it is YUMMY!<\/p>\n Hot Sauce<\/strong><\/p>\n Ingredients:<\/p>\n Roughly chop onion, garlic and jalapeno.\u00a0 Place all ingredients in a food processor.\u00a0 Pulse to desired consistency.\u00a0 Add salt if needed.<\/p>\n Variation:\u00a0 Meredith <\/a>likes her onions diced, so she pulses all ingredients except the onions and then adds large diced onions to the salsa to give it flavor.<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n Jalapeno Cilantro Hummus<\/strong> Recipe<\/strong><\/p>\n Ingredients:<\/p>\n Place all ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.\u00a0 Stopping to scrape down sides.\u00a0 May need to add additional olive oil to reach desired consistency.<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n Kalamata Olive and Feta Hummus Recipe<\/strong><\/p>\n Ingredients:<\/p>\n Place first 5 ingredients in a food processor and blend until smooth.\u00a0 Stopping to scrape down sides.\u00a0 May need to add additional olive oil to reach desired consistency.\u00a0 Add the Olives and Feta and pulse a few times.\u00a0 I wanted my olives and feta to be a little chunkier than the hummus.\u00a0 If you want a smoother consistency, blend them together from the beginning.<\/p>\n *The olives and the feta are salty, so use salt with caution on this hummus.\u00a0 However, because of the saltiness of it, it tastes WONDERFUL on fresh veggies!<\/p>\n “Yummy!\u00a0 You make me hummus, mama?!?”<\/p>\n .<\/p>\n On another note…Easter is tomorrow.\u00a0 This should probably be a separate post and not part of the post titled “Dip, Baby Dip,” but I think it’s important to share and I know I won’t have time to write another post later.<\/p>\n Easter is a day to celebrate the RISEN LORD!\u00a0 Christ died on the cross for our sins, so that we could have eternal life.\u00a0 He paid the ultimate price.\u00a0 He gave his life…but He, being the son of God, rose from the dead.\u00a0 I know the Lord loves me.\u00a0 He loves my maniacs, and He loves YOU!\u00a0 He wants to have a relationship with all of us, and if you don’t know the story of Christ, I encourage you this weekend to find out who He is and why we celebrate Easter.\u00a0 (I’ll give you a hint…it has NOTHING to do with a bunny that brings eggs.)<\/p>\n I know that Christ rose from the dead, and I plan on doing one or both of these activities with my maniacs this afternoon.\u00a0 It’s just a fun way to illustrate that He is Risen!<\/p>\n My friend, Mandy, posted this fun and easy Easter Rolls recipe<\/a>.<\/p>\n or I may try these Holy Week Cookies<\/a> from a blogger that I don’t know, but I know I would love.\u00a0 :)<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/strong>Because I was in a hurry, there are no step by step pictures.\u00a0 However, I know you’re smart enough to do it without the pics. :)<\/p>\n\n
Jalapeno Cilantro Hummus<\/h2>\n
<\/a>I basically made the same recipe as the Caramelized Onion Hummus<\/a>, except I added Cilantro, Lime, and Jalapeno instead of Onions.<\/p>\n\n
Kalamata and Feta Hummus<\/h2>\n
<\/a>Same basic steps.\u00a0 As you can tell, I just make the basic hummus recipe and toss random things from my fridge in it.\u00a0 It’s always good! :)\u00a0 This recipe was inspired by a hummus I had at FRESH (our new grocery store).<\/p>\n\n
<\/a>We ate almost every bite of those veggies and hummus.\u00a0 My new fav raw veggie is ASPARAGUS! (thank you for introducing me to raw asparagus, Heather!)\u00a0 It’s so delicious and great with hummus!<\/p>\n<\/a>My kids love hummus!\u00a0 I love that they love it!\u00a0 AnnaLeigh gets so excited when she sees me making it, and she couldn’t wait to dig in to this one!\u00a0 So stinkin’ cute!<\/p>\n
