Southern California is a place we hold near to our hearts.  Bill & Jean grew up there, we’ve had a couple of marriages there, and so many good times & great memories as a family.  So you can imagine our excitement every time we get to go back!  We leave tomorrow and will be spending the majority of our time in the San Diego area, with a side trip to Laguna Beach.  On the agenda: relaxing, shopping, beach time & seeing family.  Any suggestions of places to eat while we are there?  Lunch and/or a cocktail at George’s Ocean Terrace in La Jolla is always mandatory for us!  But we would love to try some new spots in the San Diego area & Laguna Beach.  Please send us your favorites!

cilantro jalapeño hummus

DSC_0404

During our stay at the Four Seasons Scottsdale last week, we were introduced to a new snack – Cilantro Jalapeño Hummus.  We have been fans of hummus for years and we always like to try new varieties, but this was a first for us.  In just a matter of a few bites, we were completely addicted.  This hummus seems much lighter than most & the mix of flavors is amazing!  We had to ask for a second round of veggies so we could get every last drop.  It’s kind of embarrassing to say that we ordered it every day at the pool!  In fact, on our last day, the pool staff brought us an order gratis, along with the recipe.  What a relief that we can make it at home!   We hope that you will enjoy it as much as we do!

Cilantro Jalapeño Hummus

  • 2 (16 oz) cans garbanzo beans, rinsed and drained
  • 1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
  • 1/4 cup lime juice (approximately 3 limes)
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 cups roughly chopped cilantro (about 1 bunch)
  • 2 – 3 large jalapeños,  cut in half (we like to leave the seeds in)
  • salt & pepper to taste

Directions:

  • Place everything in a food processor or Vitamix and blend together.  We like to leave the hummus slightly chunky, rather than a smooth puree.  Chill overnight and season with salt & pepper before serving.
  • Serve with triangles of pita bread and veggies.  We like carrots, jicama, cucumber, broccoli, sweet bell pepper, cherry tomatoes & cauliflower!  Enjoy!

Cheers,
