Sunday's Child
(trying to be full of Grace)

Celebrating every single day with good manners & grace. Thank you for stopping by. I happily polish my skills daily to be a better and more cheerful wife to Mr. Right, mom to son number one & two, mother in law to G & M, grandma to Sweet Z and A, Godmother and a friend. Every day I try to be a bit more grace filled, happy, laugh more, cook better & be more spirit filled, all while gracefully avoiding the dreaded Brussel sprout & canned peas.

Tuesday's Treats

I like to have an appetizer ready a few days a week when Mr. Right walks through the door.

This is one we both love and enjoy often.

Hummus

To the food processor, combine 2 cloves garlic and one can of garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed, 1/3 cup tahini (roasted, not raw) 1/8 cup fresh lemon juice, 1/4 cup water and a sprig of parsley. Process until smooth. Add in 1/4 to 1/3 cup olive oil and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Process. Spoon into a serving dish and sprinkle with toasted pine nuts and chopped parsley.

I am serving it tonight with Greek Pita Bread, toasted and brushed with garlic butter, cut into wedges.

Nice to have something to enjoy a bit before dinner is served.
