Silky Smooth Hummus

Hummus is a staple in our home—it's a quick and easy snack for toddlers and a great addition to family-friendly meals. But if you’re buying it often, the cost can really add up! I love a silky smooth hummus, so I set out to create a homemade version that’s budget-friendly, toddler-approved, and ready in minutes.
