Roasted Cauliflower Hummus

spicy roasted cauliflower hummusGood Morning!

December has swept me up! It’s busy and it’s rainy and it’s the holiday time. I am spending more money, because PRESENTS (when you buy yourself new big gold hoops that counts as a present, right?) and I am also making a bit less money because it is the lull before the STORM of new January clients.  Everything is going to even out, like it always does, but I am cleaning out my cupboards instead of buying new stuff in the meantime.

This has been a really fun process and I highly suggest you try it out. The hummus recipe below is a product of sprouted sunflower seeds, sriracha, nutritional yeast, and tahini, which have basically been in my cabinet since the dawn of time. I got the cauliflower out of a bargain bag at my local market (3 cups of the stuff was 99 cents, can’t beat that!) and went to town with my food processor. I hope you enjoy the results!
