White Kidney Bean Hummus

I never was a big fan of kidney beans growing up. My mom said that when she'd make her bean salad we'd pick out all the kidney beans. Also we would do the same when she made her chili. But when she switched to white kidney beans it was alike a transformation and we began to eat them. I'm not sure why (mom claims it was just the texture of the red beans we didn't like) but who knows. That aside, I wasn't a fan of hummus until later in life, but now I love it! My mom swears she's made homemade hummus for us before, but I have no recollection of it. Either way, I decided to make a batch of her hummus and it turned out quite delicious!

Quick n Simple Dip

Whenever we have guests over at our house for dinner or lunch, we always offer them drinks and some snacks before the main meal. Maybe it's just us, but it just seems normal and polite for me to ask 'do you want something to eat while you wait'. If they say no it's fine but we'll usually still have something quick we can put out if they change their mind. One thing that was always nice to have on hand were dips. Who doesn't enjoy a nice dipping sauce for veggies, chips, pretzles, or some other small bite sized items? Usually my mom would just whip up something from a premade mix, or dish out the stuff they serve prepared already in the containers. I was happy with that.
