Superbowl Sunday--Healthy Snacks

There are so many ways to serve Superbowl snacks that are healthy and yummy, without all the added salt and fat.  One of our favorite football munchies is homemade hummus, whole wheat pitas and kalamata olives.
The recipe is really easy and varies from family to family depending on what you love.  We always go heavy on the lemon, garlic and cumin, and hardly ever put in olive oil at all because our texture is so smooth from putting in so much lemon juice!  Try it and season it to your own families taste.

Blend (with food processor or blender):
2 cans chickpeas, rinsed
1/2 cup of Tahini (sesame paste)
The juice of two lemons (or more!)
2 cloves garlic, minced (or more!)
1 tsp ground cumin (or more!)
salt to taste
olive oil or water to create the texture you want if you don't love it lemony.

Serve with warm whole wheat pita and olives.
