YUMMY CILANTRO-JALAPENO HUMMUS
If you love cilantro, you will love this hummus! I usually adjust the cilantro and lemon juice for flavor after mixing. Be sure to wear gloves while preparing the jalapeno; the oil will stay on your skin for a long time and will burn your eyes if you wear contacts. (I found out the hard way!) The hummus can be made up to 3 days ahead and refrigerated. Return to room temperature before serving with crackers or pita bread.

CREAMY, YUMMY, HUMMUS, HUMMOS, HUMMOUS - HOWEVER U SPELL IT!
I got this idea to use yoghurt from my friend Nasreen. I used to work at a Lebanese restaurant that had the best hummous and I could not get the recipe out of the owner!! he he he. I just loved it and wondered how they got the hummous to be so light in color compared to most hummouses... well, my friend Nasreen showed me how to make baba ghanoush one day and she added yoghurt to it and told me to add yoghurt to hummous also to get a lighter color. I finally figured out it was yoghurt!! It is best to let this sit in the fridge for at least a couple hours to overnight for the flavors but is still good to eat as soon as it is done. Thank you for all of the reviews of the recipe ;)

Steps:
- If you have the patience, peel the "skins" off all the chickpeas, but this step is optional. Peeling helps with the creaminess.
- Boil chickpeas for 10 minutes (skim off the scummy stuff that forms as it boils).
- Drain but reserve about 1/2 cup of the boiling liquid in a separate cup.
- In a food processor or blender, add all the other ingredients (except the reserved boiling liquid) and the chickpeas and blend till smooth. If you find it is difficult to blend or too thick pour in some of that reserved boiling liquid -- just little at a time until you get the right smooth consistency.
- Garnish with a good serving of extra virgin olive oil, and chopped tomatoes, onions, and a little paprika.
- It is even better the next day!

YUMMY AND NUTRITIOUS HUMMUS PITA SANDWICH
Quick to make and delicious to eat! I wrap them in foil and take them to work with me. If I have flavored baked tofu, I'll add slices of that, and any other veggies taste good as well. A satisfying and nutritious lunch!

Steps:
- Cut off a small piece of the pita so you can reach inside. Sometimes I microwave the pita for a few seconds-it makes it more flexible to put things inside without breaking!
- With a spoon or knife, spread inside with hummus.
- Thinly slice cucumber and tomato and place inside, with red onion.
- If you are using avocado, mash it up with a knife and spread on inside top of pita-it makes it easier!
- Stuff the spinach in-it's easiest if you dice it first. Enjoy!
