I made this Red Beet Hummus this evening and the color was so gorgeous I just had to share it with you! The recipe is very easy, too...and a great way to use up any leftover roasted beets you might have on hand.
Ingredients:
1 can chickpeas, drained and rinsed
1 medium roasted or cooked beet (about 150 g or 5 ounces)
1 garlic clove, roughly chopped
juice of half a lemon
1 T olive oil
1 T tahini
1/2 t. cumin
salt and pepper to taste
Blend all the ingredients in a food processor or with an immersion blender until smooth. Enjoy!
Today I did the free yoga class on the Yoga Today website - which felt really good!
Yesterday I gave up on the weather and went to the gym for my run. It had been a while since I did a run on the treadmill, and it actually felt kind of monotonous. Dare I say I might be growing out of loving the treadmill??? I sure hope not, with winter right around the corner...
Monday I putzed around until I didn't have enough time to go to the gym so I did the 30 Day Shred at home and then went for a short run - and my muscles are still sore today! That workout is deceptively intense...

I hope your muscles will be okay soon!
Thanks for sharing the recipe ... I love garlic (we use red garlic).
Have nice runs ... without treadmill :)
I hate the treadmill - will never love it.
The hummus recipes looks good. Thanks for sharing.
I have never done a Jillian DVD, but I will put it on my Christmas list. I need some good DVDs at home, when I can't make it to the gym (like today, sick son at home). Hope your muscles feel better soon.
When I saw the picture of your hummus I immediately thought of icing. Shows you how my brain works.
The color looks beautiful but I'm not a fan of red beets. I can't even remember when I ate them last.
Interesting: losing your love for the treadmill? I'd say buy some thermo underwear and try to run outside all winter long. I promise you: you won't regret it.
Jillian always "surprises" me afterwards. You would think 20 minutes is nothing but she really kicks your butt in those 20 minutes :)
Happy birthday my sweet friend, I'm happy we found each other. Hope you have a great day.
Like Char, I think that photo looks more like a cup cake topping! I bet it tastes great though...
Happy Birthday, hope you are having a great day !
Happy Birthday Amy!
When I saw the picture, at first I thought it was some sort of dessert, it looks so good.
Enjoy your big day today!
No, the dreadmill noooooo.
Now the recipe is in my wife's hands. Thank you.
