I just started eating hummus as part of my new diet. Cardiologist ordered.

[BuddhaShiva1]

yummy!!! :)

[thedefendingchamp]

Will you make me some? These Wheat Thins are kind of boring without it.

Hi Lea!

What does hummus taste like?

Does it taste like chicken?

[quicksite]

Look at you -- so many transformations... First from serial murderer to prison warden in the plaines of Georgia, to US military, to mild mannered YouTube vlogger, to heavy-duty YouTube vlogger, to more on stickam than youtube, to Renato/backchannel/ustream guest Youtuber, to somewhere in the mix Chief Fire Marshall Advocate of You Tube Vloggers, to checked out of YouTube scene to --- yogi and chickpea chick. My my. add me to twitter: Richard_SF

[achampag]

@quicksite haha! i dont even know how to respond to this comment! serial murderer and prison warden? ok yeah close....

this comment rules!!

[quicksite]

@achampag Well I can't just arc you from Addicted-to-YouTube -- to Yogi & Chick peas. Not dramatic enough! Besides, we have no evidence that you were NOT a serial murderer, thus using GOP logic, you most certainly are. And prison warden -- well that one just fell from the sky- those dark glasses and all, you could crack a whip for sure and lay down the law.That's the interesting duality: We have mild mannered hummus Lea.. And "Dont F with me or you'll regret the day" Lea... and you know it.

Great video! Very easy to follow and I bet it's super delicious. The food proc attachment makes a lot of sense.

[achampag]

@P00P0STER0US doesnt it? it cost a lil more than the other blenders, but i couldnt pass it up. i LOVE that thing! its my first processor

[phekwig]

I really really really like early Pink Floyd :)

[achampag]

@phekwig yay somebody noticed! yeah its nice and chill, makes kitchen work go smoother imo...i am a huge fan of early floyd, the first 2 albums and meddle being my fav. syd and directly after syd

[fehquig]

@achampag LOL I used to listen to that while brewing beer...

[binsk]

I tried to make hummus once in a blender and it turned in to glue. Usually I am a good cook, but hummus not so much. :)

Okay watching your vid now.

[binsk]

Kay I figured out where I went wrong. Way wrong. I used the juice of ONE lemon, NO tahini, and NO water. I could have put bricks up with the stuff I made...

Next time, MUCH more liquid.

You would love coming to my house Lea, I use all the same kinda things...organic stuff, sea salt etc. Even my dog eats organic. :)

[achampag]

@binsk no tahini and no water lolol no wonder! yeah that would make some sort of cement and you prolly almost broke your blender!

i would love to come to your house even w/out the food =)

even your dog eats organic? now thats impressive!

[achampag]

@binsk haha i love this mental pic!

[MadBadVoodo]

I am not a big fan of Hummus but you did a great job with this video Lea!

★★★★★

[achampag]

@MadBadVoodo then you should fool w the recipe until you like it! or try black beans instead.

[MadBadVoodo]

@achampag I do like black beans so I may try that...

[dreamer72fem]

I so want to try making this one day...but I dont have a blender...WAHHH. Where do I buy something like tahini...have never seen it.

[achampag]

@dreamer72fem hey stacey! the blender i am using here was only about $40 and it came w that food processor attachment. i love it dearly!

i have not seen tahini in walmart....but they carry it in health food stores like whole foods, or in regular grocery stores in the health food section next to the og peanut butter....stores that have almond and/or cashew butter should have sesame butter. try it! very healthy alternative to most dip.

[dreamer72fem]

@achampag Oh I love me some hummus...just have never made it. Shall have to look into it.

[robertpina99]

Man, that looks good. You made it easy to follow. Some toasted pita bread with that would be tasty. Nice work here.

[achampag]

@robertpina99 thanks robert....i know this vid is not going to get many views, but i am very proud w how it came out =)

[czarwright]

O Hummus =)

[achampag]

@czarwright i wonder what kinda cooking vid you would do?

[czarwright]

@achampag Something cheesy would be my way , Fondue ?

hahaha ;o)

[achampag]

@czarwright do it!!

[Blargaldalien]

Hello,Lea. I prefer a real lemon. Other than that it looks yummy.

[achampag]

@Blargaldalien yeah i do too. i am just so busy that i find it hard to use stuff b4 it goes bad....i could buy a lemon and forget that its in the fridge!!

[silverscreamgrl]

LOL @ challenging Liz to do a nonbullshit cooking vid. Can't wait to see what she comes up with

[binsk]

I know, sounds fun! However I really enjoy Liz's bullshit. Shhhh don't tell Lea. ;)

[achampag]

@binsk haha i enjoy liz's BS too

[achampag]

@silverscreamgrl yeah me either, this outta be good....she has a camera she never uses...

[silverscreamgrl]

I LOVE hummus. Never thought to even try it until Daryl took me a couple of years ago when we were in Nashville. There is nothing better than bastardizing a recipe. WOOT. If I can find the tahini, I'm gonna give this sucker a whirl! (I'm sure we have it, I have never seen it) The last hummus I bought had pine nuts in it. Interesting, but not my fave.

[binsk]

@silverscreamgrl tahini sounds awfully Hawaiian, I bet you find it! :)

[achampag]

@silverscreamgrl i have not seen tahini in walmart....but they carry it in health food stores like whole foods, or in regular grocery stores in the health food section next to the og peanut butter....stores that have almond and/or cashew butter should have sesame butter

yeah i am not a fan of pine nuts either! i like my hummus kinda plain, just w tons of garlic. lemme know if you try it!

[achigurh]

i don't think i have ever tried this...i need to get out more =D

[achampag]

@achigurh lol dont feel bad, i just started making this last year....the more veg i go, the more i have to explore food...need protein!
