Make at home Black Bean Hummus
For this recipe, instead of chickpeas, you we used black beans to make this Middle Eastern snack dip. And for a bit of extra flavor, stir in jalapeño pepper and lemon juice. Of course we are a hummus-loving-family, and this Ultimate Classic Hummus Board is on of my favorite boards to make!
When I think of vintage, I also think of homemade, or cooking from “scratch,” which is so rare today. Here’s another great hummus recipe to try: Mint Lemon Hummus Recipe. Or, if you have the munchies? Try this “How to Make Crispy Roasted Garbanzo Beans.”

Auto Camp Russian River, CA
Friends, we recently enjoyed visiting Auto Camp at Russian River in California. Let’s just say, this airstream park is really cool. I’ll be writing a travel post about it soon, so be watching. We loved our little home away from home, as we’re working on a new project.
Coffee in bed every morning? Yes, please!
Hummus in the outdoors is cool
Even when camping, changing up a dinner party, and hosting appetizers is really fun!
Fresh cut veggies and hummus is always a hit. I also like to think of it as a “snack dinner.” We’re all about snacking when camping. You, too?
Cooking from scratch – Black Bean Hummus
We’ve become so distanced from cooking from scratch, that many of us wouldn’t recognize good food even if we saw it today. Prepackaged and over-processed food has led to an “eat on the run,” superficial lifestyle. I really think that we’ve forgotten that some things take time, because we’re always in a hurry, looking for quick fixes.
Cooking from scratch reminds us to sit. To savor and too enjoy. To slow down.

How to make homemade hummus
Of course a normal hummus requires chickpeas (or garbanzo beans), but this time I used a can of drained black beans.
Make it from scratch! It’s very easy to whip up, using a Cuisinart 14-Cup Food Processor all of the ingredients, and with a few whirls, you have a delicious hummus!
You can buy the food processor, HERE.
Garnish with a drizzle of olive oil. Always sprinkle with crushed red pepper.
And the KEY to a delicious crudités platter is having a premium sweet red pepper.
What I love about this recipe is that you can use lemon or lime juice. Citrus is the key!

I agree with N. Guest No Directions even after scrolling down numerous times Apparently missing them. I would think add all too food processor and purée??
Fixed! Sorry, Judy … :)
No directions!
Yes, scroll down for the directions and you can print them off :)
Do you think using extra amount of tahini instead of mayonnaise for vegan version won’t ruin the flavor?
It will be a little stronger in flavor, but I think it will work – yes!
