My Monday through Friday consists of shopping, cooking and serving food to 50 kids at a private school that range from 15 months to 9 years old. To say kids are the toughest critics would be an understatement but it keeps me on my toes. It’s difficult coming up with new snack and lunch ideas to keep the kids interested while at the same time serving healthy dishes they will enjoy. This hummus recipe is a regular and while I haven’t converted all the kids to its amazing flavor, for the most part I receive positive reviews.
