oh my chickpeas! (hummus try this too!)

"Not a chick 🐤, it's not a pea! It's chickpeas!"

My hubby's long wait is over, finally, chickpeas hummus is served!

Really delish. Garbanzos or otherwise known as chickpeas, is a power food from the legume family. Using only the trusty food processor, this dip is one easy and nutritious dip to make. 

And because it's got that peanut-y butter taste, my little chickpeas (👦👧👧) enjoy it too. Buddy-up with some veggie sticks, and their favorite potato chips, and they won't be able to resist it. If not 100% healthy plating, at least, partly healthy. We win some.✊
