Hummus Wrap

I made this for lunch today and it was SOOOO good. Like, so good that I'm craving it again right now. You have to get the roasted red pepper hummus. It's what gives this so much flavor. I did add a little salt to it b/c I love salt.



 Hummus Wrap
Serves 2

Ingredients: 2 Tortillas
1 cup of spinach
 4 Tablespoons of Roasted Red Pepper Hummus, or your favorite hummus
1 (15 oz) can of black beans, rinsed and drained (you are only going to use about 1/2 the can)
1/2 Avocado, diced

Directions: Lay out your two tortillas and spread 2 Tablespoons of Hummus on each one. Next spread you spinach on top of your hummus. Add some black beans (about 1/4 of a can) on top of your spinach. Then put your avocado on the very top. Fold the edges and roll the tortilla up. Cut in half and serve.

Homemade Granola

I am in love with this super simple, versatile granola recipe!  I've tried it with dried cranberries and raisins, my kids prefer it plain, and I've also added mini chocolate chips and walnuts instead of the dried fruit.  My favorite version is with the cranberries and raisins.  You can add whatever you like!

Homemade Granola

5 cups oatmeal (use either whole oats or quick oats; I actually prefer quick oats)
1/4-1/3 cup salted sunflower seeds
2 cups shredded coconut
1/2 cup brown sugar
1/2 cup maple syrup (I like homemade)
1/2 cup vegetable oil
1 tsp. cinnamon
pinch salt
a little water (about 1/3 cup)

Options:
dried fruit, chocolate chips, chopped walnuts, etc.

Preheat oven to 325.  Combine the first 9 ingredients and mix.  Add dried fruit if desired.  Bake on 2 cookie sheets for 25 minutes.  Add chocolate and nuts after baking if desired.

Kentucky Hot Brown Sliders

Had these for dinner tonight.  Amazing.  They were so good and very, very easy.  Plus, I could add the tomato, etc., or not for the pickier eaters.
