I finally made the hummus and website updates
I finally got around to making hummus yesterday. Remember those beans, well I used the leftover ones in this dish. I’ll write more about the topic when I post the recipe on The Raw and The Cooked.
Trust me, it’s almost complete. I just need to snap a photo and upload it to accompany the delightfully tasty recipe. Actually, there are two versions a fat free version and a version that I’ve added healthy fats (sunflower seed cheese, it’s actually quite tasty.) Sunflower seeds is an excellent source of vitamin E, magnesium, and selenium.
I didn’t use bread for the dip as shown in the picture, veggies were used for the dip along with raw vegetable chips (My diet is at least 80% raw foods) a healthier alternative and a delightful change. The recipe is simple and definitely ebook worthy so it’s going into both additions of my ebook the free version along with the paid version. I haven’t decided on when I’ll be releasing it, but it’s coming. I’ll also be releasing an ebook that focuses on natural remedies that you can make at home.
Changes are here, and more to come…
The past few months have been extremely busy for myself. I’m behind the scenes working to complete the goals I’ve set out for myself on my personal websites. Some of the changes I imagine are starting to be noticed here on Vegan Momma. It’s evident in the new readers I’m picking up and the websites that have been linking here.
I’ve always wanted to come back to writing about health, nutrition, and exercise on this website and I do a lot of that already. There is still a lot of misinformation out there about health, nutrition, fitness, it’s too much a part of my life not to. Food politics (that don’t necessarily have to do with veganism) is a topic I’m passionate about and you’ll see me write about it here a lot more. Yes, I’ll be writing about veganism.
My stats show me that I still have a lot of readers that land here searching for information about the subject so I’ll try to do my part to educate those who land on my website. I’m definitely not ashamed of being Vegan although I haven’t talked about it as much as I used to in the early days of Vegan Momma. I definitely don’t want to be “preaching to the choir” and have a vegan only website. There that focus solely on veganism and do it very well.
Although I do my best not to make feel uncomfortable (it’s definitely not what I’m about) The website is headed in a different direction, so it might not appeal to everyone and I’m fine with that. I cannot please everyone all the time. However I’ll be writing more about topics I love. It will be interesting to see what goes on here over the next few months. I’ve enjoyed the interaction that I’ve had with the many I’ve met on this website, through email, and many other websites.
A lot of people have been instrumental in making me get off my butt and move into the direction I’ve been fighting for over a year and I’ll be mentioning them in another post. I’ll be writing that later this week.

Sounds like it would be good.

Hummus from Costco is a huge hit at our home. The kids will even make weird hummus sandwiches. I’m still at the dipping or spread on a cracker stage. My husband has been itching to try making it from scratch. I’ll keep my eye out for your recipe.

I love hummus- I got hooked on it after several business trips to Turkey. My favorite dipping crackers are the new Triscuits that come in black pepper, garlic, etc.

Hummus…
I just cannot get myself to eat it.
It seems rather disgusting by it’s appearance but that is probably all in my mind.

I’ve never tried making hummus from scratch, but imagine it wouldn’t be too difficult. I do love it - It’s so good on pitas & in tortillas :)

Hummus ROCKS. I love it on just regular wheat crackers. Good decision on the blogging direction…you gotta stay true to who you are.

Hummus! Looks delicious. You always pick such vibrant pictures too.
Have you tried making falafel by chance?

I love Hummus, I still can’t make it that well as I don’t own a food processor so kinda just mash it with a spoon! So it’s just ok and very chunky.
I made Chick Pea burger today though and they were awesome!!
I love bread (big problem) and have finally come across the one recipe for quick flat bread….. Chick Pea burger with spinach, french mustard in a perfect warm flatbread…. mmmmmmmmm I wanna go make some more.

Oh about your ebook….
Will you be having an affiliate program… either way I would love to promote it on my new site when it comes around.
Home cooking is so much cheaper and worth investing in decent recipes.

I’m not big on hummus, but my wife loves it. That picture does look appetizing though.

I was introduced to Lebanese food at work and I absolutely love the stuff! Love the Shawarma plates much to the chagrin of my coworkers with all the garlic and hummus. Hey, they introduced it to me :)

You have the right ideas…just write about what you love and the rest will fall into place. Like you said, you can’t make everyone happy, but I’m sure there are tons of people that enjoy the same things you do. I’m sure I’ll be back for another visit! That dish looks delicious by the way.
