Pickle Hummus

Three summers ago, I found pickle hummus at Trader Joe’s and it has been an obsession ever since then. It is a seasonal hummus for Trader Joe’s, and I have never seen it again however I have seen other brands at Walmart, but I started making an at home version that I absolutely love.

I love hummus, not only as a snack, but adding it to wraps as well! Did you also know that you can freeze hummus? If you’ve made a big batch that you were not gonna get through you can freeze it in an airtight container for up to four months!

I have to share with you one of my favorite finds ever – This Amazon Chopper!! It is easily one of my most used kitchen utensils and makes chopping items so quick.
