Quite possibly my new favorite healthy fall recipe. It’s packed with protein, fiber, and high in antioxidants vitamin A, C, and E.
Pumpkin Hummus is a little savory and a little sweet – pairing perfectly with the gluten free pita bread in the picture above, crackers, cucumber, or celery. It’s my new favorite snack along side some raw vegetables, but also was fun to put in the kids lunches.
