My son is awesome at eating veggies. My daughter, not so much. It takes a lot of encouragement. So I’m always looking for ways to make them a little more enticing.
This is our lunch plate today.
I pulled out all the ingredients to make hummus to dip some veggies in but…. no chickpeas!
Well done Lisa.
But, I used white beans (cannellini beans) instead and the result is a creamy and delicious dip. All of them devoured it – using veggies to dip mind you – WINNING!
This is pretty much exactly what I would use to make hummus, but with chickpeas obviously. And too much garlic makes it ‘too spicy’ for the kids – so just go carefully there.
