1/4 C. Extra virgin oil
1/4 C. Lemon juice
1 can garbanzo beans (chickpeas), drained and rinsed
a few garlic cloves
I chopped the cloves up real fine (or you can use a garlic press...so much easier), then blended all ingredients in my Magic Bullet until it was creamy.
Most recipes for humus call for Tahini sauce, but I didn't have any, and honestly I think this tastes just as good. :)
How about you, what sort of things do you prepare when you don't have much left in your cupboard? Do you ever get creative? Have you ever just invented something out of what was left in your fridge. If so did you love it? Did you hate it? Did you find a new favorite?
This is definitely a new favorite here...especially the humus and vegi one. :)

My most recent "Whole Lotta Nothin" meal was a hash concoction consisting of our last potato, half an onion, some frozen corn, and our last four corn tortillas diced up. My husband loved it, but I was in far too foul of a mind to appreciate our last meal before his next paycheck. Thankfully, our food lasted just long enough, and we have gone shopping since then! Moving is difficult because you don't have much in your pantry yet to pull you through those times!
That looks so good! I think I am going to try it tomorrow. Nothing like experimenting on your kids!LOL
