College Girls learning to COOK ~~ someone will thank US someday! 
Thanks to Grace for teaching how EASY it is to make homemade Spaghetti Sauce and homemade Meatballs!!...food is always healthier when you make it yourself! **DID YOU KNOW...browning onions and fresh garlic soothes the senses, it is calming ...That is why a good cook is a HAPPY COOK!We made: Hummus and Homemade Pita Chips, Homemade Spaghetti Sauce, Meatballs and Spinach, Strawberry Salad and Orange burst Dessert ~ we COOK, we LAUGH and we EAT food we did not know was so GOOD!
I should have taken the picture before we started eating it, but before the night was over, this bowl was empty...The best HUMMUS I have eaten...Thanks to Jennifer, my niece, for sharing the recipe!
All of the ingredients for this recipe I bought at Kroger's ... so no specialty stores necessary!Hummus recipe:

GOOD FRIENDS, GOOD FOOD...whole wheat pasta, fresh spinach, fresh strawberries, raw almonds....FOODS CLOSEST TO NATURAL...great place to start on your quest to being FIT!
Raw Almonds...chop for topping on your salad, blend into your smoothies and JUST EAT RAW! Throw in the food processor and make your own Almond Butter. Add some walnuts or cashews as they are oily, so it helps to just blend together. If necessary add alittle oil to blend well!
Whole Wheat PASTA...great texture, great flavor...TRY IT! When buying read the box carefully...look for the words: 100% WHOLE WHEAT and not just whole grain pasta. Read the ingredients, it should have one...100% whole wheat flour.Love Pasta? You gotta have the Large Low Bowl...serve pasta, bake lasagna and use it over and over!!
This looks great!!! turned out awesome!
