Classic Hummus

I always have such healthy eating goals after the sugary (and delicious!) excess of the holidays. So, I've started brainstorming some healthier snack options and decided to make hummus. Over the weekend, I made a double batch of it and we have been enjoying it! The kids even like it which is always a plus! I serve it with carrots, celery, and pretzels - the best compliment is our three-year-old proclaiming, "I loooove hummus." Too cute!

Anyway, this is a quick, easy, and inexpensive snack or side dish. So yummy! You could easily add roasted red peppers or cilantro or other flavors to change it.
