What's Cookin'

So I've been really into cooking lately so here's a few things I've made the last few days:

Homemade Granola: Adapted from the recipe here :)

Homemade Hummus: Ok I didn't have tahini so I had to improvise with sesame seeds and olive oil and I'm not sure if I ground them up enough. I may have needed a mortar and pestle. Oh well. It still tasted ok, but nothing like the store bought kind. Next time I think I want to use fresh chickpeas. The good thing is that I like it, but I'm not tempted to eat the entire bowl in one hour. I cant find the actual recipe that I used but its similar to this one. My hummus had a little bit of Tabasco sauce and no tamari.

Greek Yogurt: Well I didn't actually make this but I found that Costco has a Kirkland brand that's super cheap and delicious. Add some honey or agave and granola and yum yum yum.

Grilled Chicken Breast with Greek Yogurt Cream Sauce: This recipe was my inspiration. I only made the sauce part though in a skillet and then spooned it over the chicken. I also checked out the flavor bible for spices...I think I just ended up adding some garlic. I was actually quite happy by how it turned out because I kind of felt like I was just blindly throwing in ingredients and hoping it would turn out alright.

So I totally wish I would've taken pictures, but I didn't. Maybe I can get a few of the granola later today. I had to make a big batch after the test batch because my family went crazy over it.
