I rarely use recipes when I cook but this one is pretty close to what we did! I also added roasted garlic salt which gives it a nice smokey flavor.

2 cloves garlic, minced
1 (15 ounce) can garbanzo beans, drained
1/3 cup tahini
1/3 cup lemon juice
1/2 cup roasted red peppers
1/4 cup fresh cilantro leaves

DIRECTIONS
In an electric food processor, combine garlic, garbanzo beans, tahini, and lemon juice. Process until the mixture is smooth. Add roasted peppers and cilantro; process until the peppers are finely chopped. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer hummus to small bowl, cover and chill until you are ready to serve.














Making Hummus was a big hit with the kids. We passed around each ingredient so they could smell or taste it first. We blended it up and surprisingly all the kids were great sports. We served it with Pita and carrot sticks and some of the children even asked for seconds. We did sit on the tile so everyone could see but my floor was freshly mopped so no worries....

Yellow is for School Bus!
















We are studying "yellow" this month and since the kids all know this color we have been looking for different shades of yellow in the environment. Last week we received a visit fom a real school bus. The kids were so excited to take their picture on it.
