Parsley Hummus

January 22, 2013 by naivecookcooks 6 Comments

Chickpea Parsley Hummus

Quick question! Do you always come out with remarkably good pictures for post?! If you say yes, I suggest you to remember you new year resolutions where your first goal was to be honest! I have noticed some of my favorite bloggers like Β whatkatieate, tartellete, indiansimmer, whiteonricecouple and many more have every picture so perfect that every time I visit their blog, a sense of guilt fills me up.

I wonder how they do it. Usually after I am done with cooking, I feel so impatient that my mind is more on how to start eating rather than concentrating on photography. I suppose it is time to renew my resolutions final time phew.

This hummus recipe was created in the effort of utilizing the parsley sitting in the fridge and in the efforts of eating something healthy. Though I must point out here that it was a failed effort as it was followed by a big meal of pasta in red sauce. One more day, one more failed resolution.

But for now let’s enjoy this delicious green hummus dip.

    I can’t help but notice that, too! I do my best to try not to compare myself to others, though. Blogging is just one small part of my life and often I prefer to spend my time with my family, enjoying, rather than stuck to my laptop! Finding the balance is challenging…

    Yes Kay it does gets on the nerves sometimes! But at the end when your work gets rewarded in the form of appreciation, from most of the time, unknown people is worth every pain!! Happy blogging πŸ™‚
    P.S I couldn’t help myself from asking that in extreme freezing weather, what kind of plants can we grow? I don’t have a big open space for now but I do have a small balcony where I am interested in putting up some plants like basil, mint, etc I noiced that you use freshly greens grown in your backyard! How lucky!! πŸ™‚

    Hmmm, well. This time of year it would be pretty impossible to put any pots out in freezing weather and expect them to live. We do have some things we are harvesting on the farm right now but they were sown back in the late summer and are cold hardy things like chicories and brassicas (they don’t grow in this weather but do hold well). We force our Belgian endive in a greenhouse. Your best bet would be herbs on an indoor windowsill. Also, it’ll be time to start sowing seeds indoors soon enough! Inexpensive heating pads are great for seed starting. Once the weather warms you can pot them up and move them to your balcony. Good luck!
