I’m now putting Roasted Golden Beet Hummus in my rotation! It is absolutely delicious as a dip, but wait until you try it as a sandwich spread!!

Their sweet earthy flavor makes them the perfect salad topper, veggie burger binder, savory soup enhancer, and super creamy dip ingredient.

Easy Baba Ghanoush is a wonderful middle eastern eggplant dip that’s rich flavor and creamy texture will delight your taste buds.
Trust me on this one. You do not have to slave in the kitchen, or order take-out, to be able to enjoy this creamy dreamy eggplant dip at home.
After oven roasting the eggplant, this recipe requires less than 10 minutes of hands on time.
Hand me a pita…I’m going in!

While the recipe is delicious, I have since discovered a much easier and equally tasty version. Check out my Easy Baba Ghanoush recipe here.
Eggplant was the abundant ‘on sale’ item in the fridge today. I had bought two varieties at the Farmers’ Market but had yet to come up with a plan.
While fresh picked eggplant is one of the most beautiful fruits of the garden, once cooked….is not always as good looking. I did a quick Internet search for ‘pretty images’ of eggplant recipes and came across several for Baba Ghanoush.

I decided to try the recipe by The Pioneer Woman and only adjusted it slightly to taste as she suggested.
