What's Cookin Wednesday, January 9th

Happy hump day friends!  In the spirit of being prepared for the week AND getting my blue dot each day this week, I was inspired to make some garlic hummus that I saw Kim (PrepWhisperer) shared on her YouTube channel.  My husband and I love garlic hummus so I knew the minute I saw it that this was going to be a big hit in our house.  This was definitely a win!  The recipe is below:

Garlic Hummus
Makes approximately 1.5 cups/8 servings

1 can of garbanzo beans, drained and rinsed
2 tbsp Lemon juice
1 tsp Garlic
1/2 tsp Cumin
2 tbsp Tahini (add last)
2 tsp Olive Oil (after you begin processing)
Water (as needed to get it to the consistency you want)

Put beans in the food processor.  Add Lemon Juice, Cumin, garlic and then tahini.

I have linked the video where I got the recipe above and Kim shares her past experiences with making it previously.  Definitely a winner and will be very tasty with my veggies this week!  I may even splurge and have a veggie wrap this week.  

I use a Ole tortilla, a serving of hummus topped with lettuce, tomatoes and bell pepper.  Yum!

I hesitate to even call this a recipe.  I have been making this super easy, but versatile recipe for years.  My ex-grandmother-in-law made hers spicier, but for my young one (at the time I started making this) wasn't a fan of spicy foods.  So I created a cheeseburger variety of the meat pie.  It's simply Grands biscuits, hamburger meat and cheese.  I believe she used the standard biscuit, but I have been using Grands for years.  You can absolutely change this up to use different ingredients, but it's a family favorite so I haven't changed it much.  I may do a different variety soon to bring to you!   You can watch the video here:  YouTube

Savings Saturday, May 3rd

 As we are trying to drill down on our budget and add to our savings, I decided to have a little fun with it.  We headed to Barnes & Noble and purchased 2 Word Find books, one is 365 Days of Puzzles and the other is a book of Bible Puzzles.  The 365 Puzzle book is pretty interesting in that it varies in topic.  My puzzles for Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday of this week were:  Monday: Disco [Puzzle 50], I found 10 words in 6 minutes. Tuesday: Quantum Mechanics [Puzzle 192], 5 words in 4 minutes. Wednesday: Languages of Africa [Puzzle 299], 6 words in 4 minutes. So my total to go into savings for the first week: $21.00 Savings Total for this challenge: $21.00. I have decided to only do a puzzle on the weekdays, but not the weekends for this challenge.  Why?  Being honest, there are some days/some weeks, like end of the month that get a bit overwhelming.  Only doing a puzzle 5 days per week, gives me an opportunity to do one on the weekend if the ...
