Tangy Spicy Buffalo Hummus

Tangy Spicy Buffalo Hummus - everyone's favorite chickpea dip gets a spicy kick with everyone's favorite hot sauce! great for game day, party tray, or a random Thursday!

 

An old friend of mine has been belly dancing since, like, five years old or something. Her mom used to dance and is now a teacher, and my friend grew up learning from her mom. She is exceptional, and I am not just saying that as a friend. She dances in the Egyptian style, and can do a seven minute drum solo - isolated movements, precise and impressive.

Because I have been to so many of her performances over the years (and she used to dance at my birthday parties!), I became quite familiar with many of the aspects of belly dance, and with the other local performers.

Fast forward to present - I am spending my January taking my first belly dance class! I am taking a private class with a friend, and it has been so much fun! We begin each class with some lovely yoga stretches and planks (can I ever get away from planks? good thing I love them), and then get right into the moves!

This class is fusion - a blend of many styles, which makes it so fun. Some things come easy - the hip moves are fun for me, while others are difficult to grasp - the actual belly movements and doing things with my left hand - doesn't always feel natural. I'll get there, and in the meantime, I'm having fun!

So - this hummus.

Bummus? Buffamus? Snuffleupagus? Hustleupagus?

I'll stick with buffalo hummus, I guess.

I know each time I make a new hummus I say this one, THIS is the best one! But really, I mean it this time. As you are all now aware, I have a hot sauce deficiency - specifically buffalo sauce. This big craving will not cease, and that's okay.
