I was in Texas recently and saw lots of friends and family! It was SO fun! The first weekend in Texas was spend with about 7 of my Baylor girls at a lake in Texas. We always enjoy being together! It is amazing to think I have known these girls since the early eighties!
Gretchen is the big sister of my Baylor roommate. Gretchen is a great cook and brought a homemade artichoke hummus to our weekend. I came home from Texas and wanted to make it. I have made it threes times in the last week to take to different social gatherings.
I took the recipe from Gretchen and one from Feed Me Phoebe. I love it! This hummus has great texture and so much flavor. Serve with veggies and or pita chips.
Artichoke Hummus (adapted from Feed Me Phoebe)
1 14 oz can artichoke hearts, drained
1 15 oz can garbanzo beans, drained
1/2 cup tahini
3 Tbsp lemon juice
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/4 cup water
1 tsp sea salt
3/4 tsp cumin
1/2 tsp red pepper (or more to taste)
Blend everything in a food processor. I don't have one so I used my Vitamix and it worked beautifully. Blend until you reach the desired consistency. Pour into a serving bowl. Top with a drizzle of olive oil, crushed red pepper and fresh or dried parsley. Chill until ready to serve. Enjoy with fresh veggies and pita chips.

I hope everyone is doing well. This has been such a crazy time in our country.
After Annie and John-Mark got married, COVID 19 happened. Meg and Jenna were here for about five weeks and we had so much fun. I cooked a lot and we played games - just so fun. I also think I gained about 10 lbs.
Life is somewhat getting back to normal. I haven't shared any recipes in a while - just making old recipes and hanging out with family.
I have made some great recipes. If you like to eat good food and mainly low carb, you should visit Peace, Love and Low Carb. I follow Kyndra Holley on Instagram. She has written like six cookbooks and just has so much to share on Instagram. I make her Egg Roll in a Bowl on a weekly basis. If you haven't made Egg Roll in a Bowl, I highly recommend it. I love the flavors and the texture and everything about it.
One of my most recent favorites from Kyndra is her Bacon Jam. Kyndra calls it Keto Bacon Jam. I followed her recipe and made it Keto. You could use regular brown sugar instead of a brown sugar substitute. I thought this recipe was amazing. Chris made little slider burgers. Meg had a friend over and they couldn't get enough of the Bacon Jam. The only thing I would do differently is either cut my onion into thicker slices or even dice it in bigger pieces - my onions got a little stringy. It truly was amazing. We had just a little left and I have been enjoying it on eggs. Please visit Kyndra's site or check out one of her cookbooks - especially if you are enjoying a Keto or low carb lifestyle.
