Turmeric Hummus has become a staple in my home. I don’t even think about it, I just make a new batch as soon as I’m done with the previous one.

Hummus is one of those foods that is so versatile. You can make it so many ways and eat it so many ways, you can never get tired of it. I have been making my own hummus for a very long time. Some will ask… But why not just buy it? Well… Why not just make it?

If I can make something from scratch, I’ll do it.

It feels good to make things yourself, to know exactly what went into it. I can make it the way I like it, I can change it if I want to. And learn something along the way. Even if it doesn’t turn out right the first time, do it again till it does.

Practice is the best teacher!

Bowl with turmeric hummus and crackers in the bowl and on the table, yellow napkin under the bowl, small wooden bowl with garbanzo beans and some scattered on the table, small wooden bowl with turmeric powder and a wooden spoon on the side with turmeric on and off the spoon.

But let me assure you this recipe is very easy to make. Even if you never cooked before, you can definitely make it and love it!

All you need is a food processor or a blender and a few ingredients.

As I said, I like doing things from scratch and the chickpeas I use are usually dry. This means I need to soak and cook them first before I make the Turmeric Hummus. But you definitely don’t have to do that if you don’t have dry garbanzo beans.

Using caned chickpeas is perfectly ok.

Bowl with chickpeas, two garlic cloves, ramekin with olive oil, ramekin with water, salt in a jar with a lid on the side, measuring spoon with black pepper, measuring spoon with turmeric, lemon, little bowl with tahini and a wooden spoon.

Just in case you have or want to use dry garbanzo beans. What you can do is soak them over night and then boil them for about an hour, or till tender.

I wanted to share this Turmeric Hummus recipe because is one I do most of the time. Plus the only difference from regular hummus, is the added turmeric.

I just love the health benefits this beautiful root has. It’s a such a powerful food, and if you haven’t implement it in your diet, I highly recommend you do.

I’m adding it to my eggs every morning, I love making turmeric lattes, and include it in many recipes like this Turmeric Hummus.

Lets refresh on some of the Turmeric benefits:

Anti-inflammatory and Antioxidant properties (1)
May protect against Heart disease.
Turmeric may prevent and treat Cancer.
May help treat or prevent Diabetes.
May help delay or reverse Alzheimer’s Disease.
It can also improve Skin Health.
And so on…

As you can see, there is no reason not to include turmeric as part of your diet.

Now back to the recipe.

  • Food processor with chickpeas, tahini, black pepper, turmeric powder, garlic cloves, lemon zest, salt.
    Add all the ingredients to the food processor or blender.
  • Food processor with blended hummus
    Blend till smooth.
And there you have it. Turmeric Hummus. Can’t be any easier!

Also, to get the most of the turmeric benefits, it’s suggested to always take it with a bit of black pepper, as it increases the powerful benefits of the curcumin, which is the active ingredient in turmeric.

But let’s not forget about the other ingredients and their benefits in this recipe.

Chickpeas. Tahini. Garlic. Lemon. Olive oil.

All these beautiful yummy simple foods that are packed with amassing properties to nourish our bodies.

Bowl with turmeric hummus, yellow napkin under the bowl, garlic head to the side and a lemon, wooden bowl with turmeric powder and a wooden spoon on the side, turmeric powder sprinkled of the spoon, bowl with garbanzo beans and some on the table.

Eating hummus doesn’t have to be done only with pita or carrots. You can sub it for mayo, or just add it to your sandwich. Use it as a dressing. Top it off on some baked potatoes, french fries dip, and etc. So many options!

Tell me if you have any special way of eating hummus or using turmeric. I would love to hear how people like to enjoy their food!

Just taking a minute to say hi and tease you with Just taking a minute to say hi and tease you with a little bit of sweet goodness!

Today my cat run away from home😥. And I'm not sure if he'll comeback. He actually jumped from the balcony as he got scared from the vacuum. I hope he didn't hurt himself. I know cats usually remember their home, but I don't know if he'll survive out there. Cross fingers he does.🤞🏻

Hope your week is going well so far, but if you want to make it even better, I promise you these Eclairs will do just that! 

You can find the recipe at www.crumblesofhealth.com or just go to my profile and the link will take you there.

Talk soon.

Here is another look of the cupcakes I posted yest Here is another look of the cupcakes I posted yesterday. Very different, isn't it? 
No props, just the main subject. Playing with color, shadows and composition. 
The cupcakes already have a lot of different texture and layers, by using the simple background balances the overall look.

What do you think? 
Storytelling, rustic, homey feel or the modern, simple, and bold. I like both styles. 

This is something I like to do often. Use the same object but showcase it in different ways. For me shooting the same style all the time is boring. I can't grow as a photographer if I shoot at the same place and the same way every time. I like to change it up sometimes and get uncomfortable. 
If you like this challenge and want to give it a try use the #crumblethestyle. I would love to see what you come up with. And it's a nice way to push yourself and get outside your comfort zone. 

Hope you had a nice Easter weekend and enjoyed delicious food.

Today the wifi went down and at first was frustrat Today the wifi went down and at first was frustrating because I couldn't get done the things I wanted to do. 
But then I ended up cleaning the house, making a really good cookie recipe and shooting the rest of the time. So it wasn't that bad, after all. I was very productive actually. 
Disconnecting from the web is a good thing, it forces you to connect with your surroundings more. 
But I also realized how dependant I am to the web. It's crazy to think that I can't spend a day without it. Its one thing to take a break from SM, and I have no problem doing that. But from the whole web! It's definitely something I don't do very often.
 
How about you? Do you disconnect from the digital world often?

New recipe went up on the blog over the weekend!! New recipe went up on the blog over the weekend!! This Cardamom Golden Raisin Scones! I love this flavor combination, cardamom and golden raising just go together so well. 
Who else likes cardamom? I think it has very unique and distinctive taste. Adding too much of it can overwhelm a dish, so need to be careful with that. But the right amount will make it so tasty!! 

What do you think 👍or 👎for cardamom? And why?

I hope you like is as much as I do, and go make this scone recipe. Its easy and delicious!!
