Expanding my horizons and my waistline

I was recently lucky enough to take a trip of a lifetime with my family to the Mediterranean. We spent 13 days in Italy, Croatia, Greece and Spain. I was looking forward to the time with my family, the food, wine and practicing my photography. My next few posts will highlight some of my favorite meals on land and on the cruise ship. My time in each stop was definitely too short, I will be heading back as soon as I can to spend more time in this magnificent part of the world.

Quickfire: Party Appetizer Ideas - Hummus Toppers

And I am back!



I love a great party, but sometimes the stress of thinking of what quick, easily transportable and inexpensive dish I can bring ruins the fun. Here is a quick thought, next time you need a dish, grab your favorite hummus, throw it in your cutest dish and top it off with something special. I always have hummus on hand, it is a great snack that doesn't leave me feeling guilty, so why not jazz it up for a party?


Here are a few ideas:

Roasted Red Pepper Hummus topped off with Feta

Garlic Hummus topped off with Goat Cheese

Buffalo Hummus topped off with Blue Cheese

Mediterranean Hummus topped off with chopped banana peppers

Spicy Hummus topped off with diced jalapenos

Regular Hummus topped with diced cucumbers



Try it out for your next party!
