i'm a lazy cook and i'm always on the lookout for easy/yummy snacks. we snack alot in my house.

trader joes has whole wheat minipitas! pair that with their hummus sampler (4 types of hummus packaged togther) and you have a great family freindly lunch/snack/whatever. no slicing! (yes, i AM that lazy)

the minipitas were also a hit with pb and jelly for lunch today.

if you're not familiar with hummus, it makes a great snack or meal. it is protein and carbs. you know kids <3 carbs. hummus goes great with veggies, bread, and crackers. stuff a pita with hummus and lettuce and veggies or just dip the bread in it.

making it at home is very easy, but lately i've just been buying it in large amounts.

here is a super simple recipe:

you can flavour it with anything, be creative! also, if you want to try it out but are leery of buying a huge jar of tahini use creamy peanut butter. the taste is slightly different, but still good.
