If you love hummus and have never tried making it at home before, now is it time to try. It is incredibly simple, easy, and quick. You can start with a basic hummus recipe or even the recipe I am sharing here with you today which is sun-dried tomato & basil hummus with roasted garlic.

Hummus is a traditional lebanese appetizer (mezze) that has become very popular here in North America. I am convinced that when I was growing up hummus wasn't nearly as popular or even known in this part of the world, as it is now. Why do I think this? Because there didn't used to be several brands and million different flavours to choose from in any grocery store you walk into. there is part of me that thinks this is great because hummus is healthy and incredibly delicious.
