it's snacktime.
i think that maybe you want a snack.
i definitely want a snack.
maybe this snack that you want is salty. maybe you just ate a lot of jelly beans and now you are craving chips.
or maybe you ate so many chips and guacamole and wings yesterday that you are considering a juice cleanse and rolling your eyes at me.
well, fine. go do your juice cleanse.
i'll be here, snacking. in pajama pants.
this is what's happening.
some leftover pita is tossed with olive oil and garlic and salt and thrown into the oven.
chips. cruuunch. baked! health? sure! yum. cool.
next. some leftover roasted broccoli is going into the food processor with other normal hummus ingredients.
it's like a jamba juice boost for hummus.
that felt good. don't let your leftovers rot! i'm trying to be better about this.
feeling resourceful is important.
and so is hummus always.
