Two Bean Hummus

One more day till the weekend! 

Are you all gearing up to watch the big game this Sunday? I know I am! Like I said before, I love the Super Bowl. Really, I love anything that involves good food, good friends and good drinks! Yum! 

I wanted to share a great appetizer with you all before the big game, in case Husband's Pulled Pork Sandwiches weren't enough for on game day. 

Hummus is a staple appetizer in my family. My Sittee (pronounced Sit-Tey) was Lebanese, so we grew up eating a ton of Middle Eastern food...Kibbeh, Tabbouleh, Meat Pies and lots and lots of Hummus! (Don't worry I plan on sharing all these secret family recipes with you in the near future!) 

Power Breakfast Smoothies

You guys the green monster, KALE, is back! And it's all husband's fault! 

Both husband and I are really working on getting healthy. 

WHAT?!?! 

You wouldn't think so by some of my posts lately, but it's true. And if you look closely, we are incorporating healthier, more filling, good-for-you foods into our every day lives. Sweet potatoes and whole wheat flour in that AMAZING Foccacia Bread. Muffins full of fruit and whole wheat flour. Grilled Chicken Burgers. See...healthy! It just goes to show, that being healthy doesn't mean you have to eat boring foods at all. If anything, I think it really has enhanced my relationship with food and forced me to venture out in new and exciting ways. I LOVE that.

Husband's Pulled Pork Sliders

Happy Tuesday! Tuesday's are always better than Mondays. Don't you think? I sure do.

Who are you rooting for in the Superbowl this coming Sunday?!? I love the SuperBowl! I'm pretty sure it's an un-declared American holiday, and I'm all about holidays! The food, the drinks, the excitement that comes from watching, well, pretty much any sporting event. It's all good in my book! 

While I  am pretty bummed my Seahawk's aren't playing, I still love watching the Superbowl, and this Sunday will be no different. I'll be cheering on the 49ers this year (West Coast Lovin').

Here it is...January's iFoodagraphy post. There were some pretty good eats this month that I'm super excited to share with you! 

First, there was a New Year's Eve dinner at Noble Rot. Simply put, it was AMAZING. I had the butternut squash grilled panini. Mouthwatering good. And the perfect way to end 2012 and ring in 2013.

Sweet Potato Foccacia Bread with Garlic & Thyme

Does anybody else out there have a case of the Mondays? I feel like that happens to me every Monday. But really, how can it not? In my "professional" opinion, weekends are just too short, go by too fast, and before you know it, you blink and it's Monday. Bleck! 

Grilled Chicken Burgers with Spicy Guacamole

This is the stuff of warn summer days and backyard BBQs so it seems a little odd that I would post a recipe that screams Summertime in the middle of January. Well, here's my rational: It's beyond cold outside and has been in the lower 30s for one too many days now, and I am seriously craving some warm weather and a weekend BBQ. So I figured if I can't have warm weather, I can at least have warm weather food for a Winter Weekend BBQ. Sound Ok? Good :)

Black and Blue Streusel Muffins

So I know I promised a hummus recipe this week, but then I decided that making muffins would be more fun :) So I did! But I also thought I'd be posting this on Wednesday this week, and now it's Friday (FINALLY) and this is the perfect recipe to start off your weekend.
