Hello friends!
First, can you believe it’s almost Halloween?
Neither can I, and in the spirit of time going way too fast especially this time of year, I bring you a humble (but delicious) bean recipe.
I am already thinking about the appetizers I will serve for Thanksgiving, and some quick but healthy things to have on hand for last minute guests around the Holidays.
I have been vegan and vegetarian for many years off and on, and have settled into the best anti-inflammation diet for me. This includes lean meats, fish, whole grains, fruits/veggies and bone broth whenever I have a roasted chicken or turkey around.
Not only are beans high in fiber, protein (11 grams in 1/4 cup) magnesium, iron and folate, they are a wonderful addition to your recipe plan and budget friendly too!
While I typically use hummus as a dip with toasted pita bread or cut up veggies, I also like to use this as a protein base for wrap sandwiches as well.
I am putting the finishing touches on our Thanksgiving table setting to share with you next, so let’s make some White Bean Hummus, sound good?
Here is what I used:
- 3 cups of cooked navy or any white dried bean ( 2 15 ounce cans of beans can be used as well)
- 2/3 cup Tahini
- 4 T. olive oil
- 1 t. Lemon zest
- 1/4 cup fresh Lemon juice
- 5 Garlic cloves, peeled
- 1/2 t. Sea salt or salt substitute
- 1 t. garlic powder
- 1/2 tsp paprika, plus extra for garnish
Blend all ingredients until smooth in a food processor or blender, and serve warm with pita bread, crackers or fresh veggies. Store refrigerated for 3-4 days.
And, enjoy!
If you love garlic and lemon, add more of each and a bit more salt to taste as needed.
I can never have enough garlic 🙂
Thank you so much for reading and following along friend, I appreciate you all so much!!
xx, Tanya

This white bean hummus recipe sounds amazing! Can’t wait to try it. I’m curious, has anyone tried adding a bit of roasted red pepper for a different twist? 🍅

This white bean hummus looks so creamy and delicious, Tanya! I love how simple yet flavorful it is with the lemon and garlic—can’t wait to try it with pita and veggies.
I can’t wait to test it. I’m interested to know if anyone has tried adding some roasted red pepper to make it taste different.
Looks easy to make. Thanks for sharing. Love your blog.
brainrot games: so fun!
I was curious about trying an online casino from Somalia, and at first it seemed a bit confusing because there are so many different sites. I checked and it looked easy to navigate. I made sure to double-check the page before entering any personal information and avoided using public Wi-Fi for safety. Taking these small precautions really makes the whole experience smoother and less stressful when exploring online casinos.
Not long ago I decided to check what other platforms are available. GamStop is helpful, but sometimes I want something with more flexibility. Then I found https://climatica.org.uk/ . The site explains things in a very simple and relaxed way. I liked that it focuses on better games and bigger bonuses. It also mentions higher limits, which caught my attention. Everything is easy to follow. It’s a good place to get a general idea.
