Superbowl is coming up (and rumor has it there have been some major upsets in the playoffs.) But I imagine even the disappointed will still tune in. Either to root for the underdog, or to hopefully watch the team that demoralized their favorite, get kicked to the curb.
I’ll be in the kitchen, not paying attention, every once in a while showing interest in a commercial. Goodness, is it baseball season YET?????
Football fan or not, if you’re having friends over, you must make this. Hummus is loaded with a great sesame and garlic flavor (and in this case, BBQ – oh ya!), high in fiber and protein, and one of the few afternoon snacks I can overindulge in, but doesn’t leave me feeling like I need detox.
I beg plead urge you to never buy the pre-made market variety again. It is way too easy to prepare at home, and far less expensive. Plus, the taste is infinitely better.

I made this today, and it came out perfectly.
I would have never thought of hummus and BBQ together but sounds like a super delicious idea.
I love that hummus can take on pretty much any flavor(s) you can imagine so easily, which is why making it homemade is way better than buying a jar of it. However, I never would have thought to add BBQ flavors to it! The hubby would absolutely love this!
I was just saying how I need to make my own hummus…sounds like a perfect place to start!
made this last night. added a bit more lemon juice, but other than that made it as directed. it was yummy last night but even better today!
Oh, I bet…all the flavors got to meld overnight! Thanks Candace! So glad it worked out for you :D
This sounds awesome, I LOVE hummus!
Hmm so I see we’ll be doing the EXACT same thing on Superbowl Sunday. I’m actually incapable of watching football. I can stare at the screen…but it’s really just staring. THere’s nothing going on there, and I’m probably thinking about chocolate.
At least this year I can also mindless dip some carrots into this hummus! Love the bbq flair!
Love hummus! And this sounds like a tasty spin on it!
…and Jay was just asking me, “Is Amy having a Superbowl party this year?” So, um, (clears throat) are you gonna make this for Superbowl? :o)
Yes! Are you and Jay coming? Plan on it :D
I dig that no animals were harmed in the making of this!
Yummy.
This sounds yummy, Amy! I love hummus. My current favorite is lemon, which would go very nicely with this barbecue version!
Kristy – lemon…yep. Sometimes I add pizza sauce or sour cream/scallions. The possibilities are endless.
WHOA. I want this in a major way.
