Taking a leap!

Today is the start of a new adventure!  It is the beginning of my journey as a blogger.  I will be the first to admit that I am anything but technologically savvy and it is that very fact that has kept me from following my passion to create and share delicious food and share that passion with the world (wide web).  I am a foodie is a different way. Maybe we call it food-thusiast (my friends would call it food pushing), but what brings me the most joy is creating food that makes people happy and also gives the ultimate gift, nourishment!  I am also passionate about sharing. I believe it is one our our greatest privileges to be able to create and share meals with others.  So join me as I share my love for food with the wonderful people in this world.

Thai Pumpkin Hummus

Baby's first recipe to blog!

 I went to the Cisco Brewery on Nantucket today and I was moved to bring snacks for my wonderful crew of friends. I explored the fridge....I spied leftover white beans and leftover pureed pumpkin.  What to do?! Then inspiration hit as I caught sight of a tiny jar of Thai Green Curry Paste (Thai Kitchen) that was begging to be used.  I began to experiment and the hummus was born! 

Ingredients

1 Can Pureed Pumpkin

1 Can White Beans

1 Rounded Tablespoon of Thai Green Chili Paste

2 Teaspoons Curry Powder

1 Tablespoon Tahini

Zest of One Lime

Juice of half a lime

Salt to Taste

**Additions: Cilantro or Sriracha would be perfection!

Place all ingredients in a food processor and let er' rip until the mixture is smooth and creamy.  Make sure you take a little taste and add salt as needed.
