Homemade Hummus
You guys… I did it. I soaked and cooked beans! A couple posts ago, I shared with you that I was going to try to use less canned beans after learning the importance of soaking beans. Turns out, beans (and legumes, grains, nuts, and seeds) have anti-nutrients which make it hard for our bodies to…
