Hummus and Garlic Stuffed Olives

I don't know what I did before I had a Vitamix to make hummus AND I don't know what I did before garlic stuffed olives!    You can make hummus in something other than a Vitamix, but I find it tastes a lot better coming out of a high-speed blender.   I know that's not helpful if you don't have one; however, it is still infinitely cheaper, and better for your health, to make it yourself. 

The garlic stuffed olives are available from President's Choice or Costco.   

​I make my hummus with a combination of the following ingredients:
  • canned organic garbanzo beans*  **
  • tahini (available in the multicultural sections of grocery stores at a much cheaper price than the health food sections)
  • smoked paprika 
  • lemon juice
  • olive oil
  • water
  • a clove or two of raw garlic (peeled)
I can't pretend to be able to tell you the ratios I use, so I would leave it up to you to find a recipe that can guide you in that regard.   I also think it is just fine to dump things in!   

* Organic beans taste A LOT better
** If you're like me, and you have autoimmune disease, you may find you digest canned beans much better than home-made ones.    My theory for why that is happening is because the canning process reduces some of the problematic ingredients, such as agglutinin.    I have experienced IMMEDIATE autoimmune flares from eating beans I had prepared myself, using all the best techniques to render them easy to digest.   Want to learn more?  click here!

    What I Eat

    I want to give you an idea of how to eat healthfully on a restricted diet, without a lot of work, by showing you how I eat!  I eat strictly gluten-free.  You'll find A LOT of veggies in this blog!  I eat both fish and meat a few times a week (local and/or humane, whenever possible), and dairy when I'm visiting family and friends, or eating out.   I hope you find this blog inspiring and interesting!
