Hummus Deviled Eggs

January 17, 2014 by Kristin

After reading one of the many things you’re doing wrong lists out there, I had to try peeling boiled eggs the right way. I started with Martha Stewart’s instructions on how to make perfect hard-boiled eggs. And then finished by placing the boiled eggs in a large bowl filled with ice water and one teaspoon of baking soda.

Let me just tell ya, this was the least stressful egg peeling that’s ever gone on in my kitchen. From this point forward, I’m a baking soda believer.

And then I went on to experiment with the ever so classic deviled egg. Truth be told, I had some 365 light mayo in my fridge that tasted like poison and I needed an alternative. Hummus seemed like the logical route. This recipe needs some tweaking, but I’ll give you the ingredients and measurement starting points to get going.

A Spicy Exploration

And so it is… my Sriracha exploration continues. Tonight’s concoction? Sriracha hummus.

I made two batches just in case the spicetastic version was a complete fail.

A failure wasn’t in the cards tonight, cause Sriracha hummus is the jam.

I used almost the entire container of the orange-colored hummus on my sandwich and then added shredded carrots, baby cukes (sliced lengthwise), and sprouts.

A super fresh wrap with a hint of spice = the perfect post-Bayshore dinner!

Waste Not, In Pictures

Breakfast: Cremini Mushroom & “Cheddar” Daiya Omelet

Lunch: Hummus and Avocado on Sprouted Sourdough Toast

Dinner (“Appetizer”): Peas with a teeny bit of Earth Balance and Garlic Salt

Dinner (“Main Course”): Air Popped Pop Corn with Earth Balance and Nutritional Yeast.

Dessert: Tofutti Key Lime Cutie

Either a result of overbuying or changing plans, tossing food (weekly) in my house is inevitable. It’s a total waste, it’s gotta stop! Waste of food, waste of time, waste of MONEY. Like I said, total waste.

Each of the meals above uses a leftover ingredient, an ingredient intended for a recipe that was never created, or an ingredient that’s been living in my freezer for entirely too long. I like it, it’s a good plan – you have to start somewhere, right?

Cheater, Cheater, Rice Cake Eater

So… I cheated yesterday for my 365 Project by using a picture of food from this post rather than exploring alternate photographic avenues. I ran out of time. I now understand why there are an infinite amount of quotes about cheaters only cheating themselves. I was disappointed in myself. It won’t happen again.

And on to the opposite of disappointment – I discovered the ultimate low cal, gluten-free pita substitute for hummus! Suzie’s Thin Cakes are less than 13 calories per cake and are much more cracker-like than traditional rice cakes.

I smeared a layer of dill hummus and topped with shredded carrots.

It may not seem substantial enough for lunch, but after you eat about seven, you’re well on your way to perfect full. This combo has officially been added to my list of favorite fresh snacks!
