So bring your favorites to OUR party, and share your favorite foods as small bites!

Thank you Christie from A Kitchen Hoors Adventures  for hosting this event!

If you know me, then you know I’m crazy about crab cakes. I go as far as judging restaurants by their crabby patties. Dry, extra breadcrumbs, not seasoned right cakes mean I might not try your place again. Harsh maybe, but crab cakes are usually a good representation of a restaurant’s fare.

I don’t find salmon cakes on menus nearly as often, if ever around here. That really should change.

If you never had salmon cakes, then I have a recipe you really should try. If anise or garlic  aioli  isn’t your thing, tartar or cocktail sauce even remoulade work just as well!

Roasted Brussels Sprouts Egg Red Pepper Hummus Crostini

It’s May 13th, National Hummus Day! What better way to celebrate than a dish made with Sabra hummus for the party!

Hummus is a plant-based protein made into a spread. Classic or basic hummus consists of chickpeas mashed with oil, garlic, lemon juice, and tahini (sesame paste) and often eaten with pita bread. Hummus comes from the Arabic word ḥəmmoṣ meaning chickpeas.

Some healthy facts about Sabra Hummus:

 

  • Sabra hummus is a vegetarian and gluten free food. Most Sabra hummus flavors are nonGMO.
  • Hummus helps boost fiber intake, especially when paired with veggies or whole grains. The mix of soluble and insoluble fiber supports heart health, and the combination of protein, complex carbohydrates and fiber aid in weight management and blood glucose control.
  • A little hummus goes a long way. Only 2 heaping spoonfuls of hummus a day fulfills your bean recommendation for the week!
