Roasted Garlic Hummus Recipe

I love hummus! I could eat it everyday.  Lately, I have been all about roasted garlic, so I decided to create a recipe for you guys! This Roasted Garlic Hummus Recipe is easy and it will make your house smell amazing too!

If you haven’t made your own hummus before, you really need to try.  It’s so easy and also much cheaper to make yourself.  I recently also learned that hummus freezes well.

Slow Cooker Apple Butter

Slow Cooker Apple Butter.  I had about 8 apples to use up in the fridge, so I decided to attempt some slow cooker apple butter. I was so glad I did.  Not only was it super easy to make, but it let me use up all those bruised apples!

I added a little bit of sweetener to my apples because I wanted to make sure this was very different than my slow cooker applesauce.

I thought the small amount of sugar would help give it a thicker texture once cooked down.  I really do think it helped, but next time I am going to try it with no sugar at all and see how it turns out.

I plan on using this apple butter in an upcoming recipe too!

Turkish Muhammara

If you have been following this blog for awhile, then you know my husband is Turkish.  A lot of Turkish dishes are vegan.  This Turkish Muhammara dip is super easy and tasty too.  It’s another alternative to hummus.  It would be great with veggies, pita chips or as a spread on toast.  If you like Turkish food, you may also want to check out my Red Lentil Soup and my White Bean Salad.

You have to try this Easy Baba Ganoush recipe!  My husband is half Turkish, so we eat a lot of Turkish food.  So delicious!  My mother in law typically uses yogurt in her baba ganoush recipe, so we didn’t use hers.

We made this vegan baba ganoush on our own and it came out so good!  Some other Turkish recipes we have on the blog are hummus, white bean salad and red lentil soup.
