Peanut butter cookie hummus is a safe, egg-free way to eat raw cookie dough.  You can eat it on carrots, pretzels, cookies, chocolate bars, or (of course) a spoon!

So I’m sitting here looking through my pictures of teriyaki cauliflower, and it occurs to me that this meal would be basically impossible to eat with chopsticks.

I could probably eat the cauliflower with chopsticks, but rice and peas?  What was I thinking?

Oh well.  The pictures look decent.  I’ll just grab a spoon before I eat this.

September is National Honey Month

The day after I first made this hummus, I ate it at breakfast, lunch, and dinner.  It’s that good.  It’s also incredibly easy to prepare.  Snickerdoodle hummus is made of simple ingredients including cashew butter, honey, and (of course) cinnamon.  I love to eat it with carrots or cinnamon tortilla chips, but all you really need is a spoon!
