Cowboy Caviar

I love that football season is here again. It's definitely more fun when Travis and I are able to watch games on TV, but here in Okinawa the games are usually on at odd hours.... like 2 am. Besides, we don't have a satellite dish or cable subscription- the monthly fee wasn't worth getting 5 American channels and 10 Japanese ones. Just didn't make sense, ya know? So we catch highlights on the military network at our respective jobs and live vicariously through friends on Facebook. We're both looking forward to next year when we'll move back to the States and can maybe get to a mid-season game or two!

Roasted Garlic Hummus

I love hummus. Really anything this versatile with golden roasted garlic, protein and fiber that I can eat with a spoon, veggies or on wraps and sandwiches is a magical ingredient in my opinion. Put it on fish, chicken or toasted bread! Use it in sandwiches instead of mayo- it would go spiffily with bean sprouts, turkey and spinach. Schmear it on a wrap filled with chicken, lettuce, black beans and cucumbers. Dollop it on a salad with tomatoes, carrots, celery and radishes. The possibilities are ENDLESS!
