Sun Dried Tomato Hummus

September 11, 2011 By Jennifer @ PB and P Design 1 Comment

Trader Joe’s & Sun Dried Tomato Hummus



Well today I woke up with no clue on what to make for breakfast.  I was so hungry that I didn’t have the energy to exercise. I guess I will do that later today, especially since I didn’t do anything yesterday.  But it’s still early, so I may not, still not feeling it today.  It’s a lazy Sunday.  Speaking of Sunday, you’ll find that when the weather cools, I tend to cook more, so you may get more recipes on this day, then any other day of the week.  I’ll try not to over whelm you.


Ok, back to breakfast.  I looked for something to eat, and I wanted something quick and easy.  On one of my recent trips to Trader Joe’s, my husband suggested I try Farina, since I like oatmeal, I’ll probably like Farina.  I haven’t a clue what Farina was, so I figured ok, I’ll try it, what do I got to lose.  So this morning, I tried it.

 

 

Well my first thoughts were, only 3 Tbsp.for one serving, that doesn’t seem like much.  But I cooked it according to direction, which was 1 1/4 cup of water, bring to a boil, add 3 Tbsp. of Farina, bring to another boil and then simmer for 2 1/2 minutes.  I was impressed how thick it got.  After reading the side of the box it said I can add nuts, fruit ect.  So I thought I’ll eat it like I do my oatmeal.

I added some blueberries, a dollop of peanut butter and granola.  The Farina tasted ok, but it didn’t seem sweet enough.  So I added some Maple Syrup.  Then it was perfect!  Farina I think is cream of wheat.  It reminded me of something I had as a kid at my Grandmother’s house.  I think this would be good with brown sugar and maybe some apples.  So the real test of Farina is, will it tie my over till lunch?  Guess what it did. I was quite full from this breakfast.  It was good.  I will definitely have it again, it’s a nice switch from oatmeal.



I wonder if I could make this in advance and keep in in the fridge over night?  I do that all the time with oatmeal.  It’s perfect the next day!  I love how oatmeal grows bigger and bigger.  I make a big batch and I’m set for the week for breakfast. I’ll share that recipe sometime soon.  Have you ever had Farina or Cream of Wheat?  If so, what did you put in it?


So after my breakfast I ran to Trader Joe’s!

 

I love, love, love Trader Joe’s!  I tend to do all my shopping here.  I like to shop early in the morning, since there’s no one in there and all the fresh produce is out.  The only con is there sample section doesn’t have anything good.  Today’s sample was cantaloupe.  Boring!  


So I bought some goodies, and of course flowers.  I love there flower section.
This vase goes on my kitchen table and the other one goes in the living room.

 
The vase is from my good friend Diane.  She bought it for me for my birthday.  I always make sure I keep it filled with flowers.  It’s my favorite vase.  Isn’t it pretty?


Tomorrow is my Co-workers birthday and we are having a pot luck.  So I thought I could make some hummus, since we have allot of vegetarians and vegans in the office.  This is my Roasted Red Pepper and Sun Dried Tomato Hummus.




Ingredients:

 



1 15 oz can of garbanzo Beans (no sodium) (reserve some of the juice from the beans)

1 Red pepper roasted – I have grilled mine, but I was to lazy, so I bought a jar from trader Joe’s
1 clove of garlic
1.5 Tbsp of sun dried tomatoes (I used Trader Joes)
5 basil leaves
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
1/2 Tbsp of Cumin
1/4 tsp of Onion Powder – basically a dash
Salt – dash



First thing you do is peel your chickpeas/garbanzo beans.  This is optional, but it really gives the hummus a nice texture, kind of like mashed potatoes.  I also think it takes away the grainy texture that people don’t like with hummus.  This is time consuming and just plan weird.  It took me about 20 minutes to peel one can of beans, but it’s worth the effort in my opinion.   All you do is squeeze the bean like you would be shooting it across the room.  See the skin on one side and the clean bean on the other?


Throw all your ingredients in the food processor.  I used a mini food processor.  it does the job!  But I do recommend in putting it in this order:
Garlic, Basil, and Pepper on bottom and then Sun-Dried Tomatoes then the beans, that way everything gets chopped.  If it gets to thick add a tablespoon or two of the reserved chickpea juice.  This will make it easier to process and makes it creamy!

 



That’s it your done! This goes great on wraps, sandwiches, pita’s, veggies and if your like me, a spoonful straight to the mouth!  The stats are pretty good on this to!  This recipe makes about 1.75cups.  Each serving is 2 Tablespoons.  Enjoy!

☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER LOVIN' FRIE ☀️🌸☀️WELCOME to the FLOWER  LOVIN' FRIENDS DECOR TOUR! 
M🌸Y every flower lift your spirits!

I am sharing with you my Everblooming Hydrangea. This is a full sun hydrangea. I planted it last year and it did so crappy. I was shocked to see so many flowers on it. We have had a relatively cool Spring, so it’s been happy. Today it got hot out and I just went out to look at the hydrangea and it’s shriveling. So I need to capture this moment before it poops out this summer.

We are a fabulous group of friends sharing their love of flowers and elements of nature inside and outside our homes throughout the seasons!

Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. Happy Wednesday! We are half way through the week. I can’t believe that this weekend is Mothers Day. It just seems early this year. I am not sure what are plans are going to be this weekend?
🌷
I am sharing with you the @krumpetshomedecor deal of the week. It’s a set of two mango wood trays with a beautiful rope handle.
🌷
The bigger tray I used to make a tulip arrangement. It’s such a great size. The last photo is also how I used the tray on my bed. The smaller tray is perfect for holding my olive oils in my kitchen. These trays will fit in about  any space. I just love them.
🌷

Happy Tuesday! Boy allergy season has hit me hard. Happy Tuesday! Boy allergy season has hit me hard. I have been sneezing like crazy and then my nose runs. Ugh! I never have allergies. It must be all the crazy weather. We’ve had high winds since last Tuesday and temps in the 70’s. Tomorrow mid 90’s, then back to the 70’s. No wonders my allergies are acting up.
🌸
I’ve been adding a little decor to my patio area. I love adding pillows and blankets for pops of color and to give a cozy feel. One of my newest additions is my new Verdure Wooden Candle Lantern that I got from @icosiest_furniture. It adds a romantic ambience in the evening.
🌸
The lantern is made from Fir wood and has a beautiful jute handle. The lantern can be hung or placed on a table. The candle is battery operated and looks so beautiful flickering in the evening. Swipe the photo to see it.
🌸
I love the style of the lantern and it would also look fabulous styled indoors. I can see the lantern on a shelf, centerpiece or on a console table. 
🌸
For a closeup of the lantern, check out my highlight. COSIEST was kind enough to give my followers a 15% off anything in there store: Jennifer15. The link is in my bio. 
🌸
Do you have allergies? If so, are they bad for you this year?

Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. We had Happy Monday! Hope you had a nice weekend. We had such beautiful weather. It was in the 70’s and sunny. I did a lot of work outside. Got some plants planted and rearranged my patio because I was #gifted a new dining set from @alphamartsus 
🌷
I am so excited to have an outdoor dining set. It’s going to be so fun to eat dinner outside, in front of my zinnia garden and water fountain. I’m so excited, you have no idea. 
🌷
The dining set is the PHI VILLA Rattan Dining Chairs Set with Extendable Table Patio Dining Set. The set I have is the 9 piece, but they also have a 7 piece set. You have your choice of chairs, cushioned or high back. I like the high back. The chair gives great support and is so comfortable to sit on.
🌷
The table is made of high quality metal with a special powder coating that will with stand the outside elements. The table is 60” long but can be extended to 83”. It’s so easy to extend the table. The leaf is built in and just flips to make the table longer or shorter. Swipe to see the leaf and how long the table is extended. The first few pictures, the table is extended to 60”. 
🌷
For more information on the dining set, check out my highlight. The link for Alpha Mart is in my bio.
🌷
Do you like to entertain outside?

Happy Earth Day! I would share my garden today, bu Happy Earth Day! I would share my garden today, but the weather has been awful this week. We’ve had heavy rains, high winds and it was a chilly week. They even had tornado warnings north of us. So crazy.
💙
This week I took advantage of the crappy weather and gave my kitchen a good cleaning. I wiped down all the cabinets, washed the floor and cleared my counter of clutter. Now only if it would stay this clean.
💙
You can swipe and see what our kitchen looked like before. It was so small, now it’s the biggest room. I’m so happy with how it turned out. We did it all ourselves, accept installing the countertops.

What are your plans for the weekend?
