About this Cook
My favorite things to cook
Healthy meals -- low fat and low carb! I like to cook a big batch on Sunday so that I have lunches for the week.

Hummus III
I agree with other reviewers-- less tahini. I used 2 cans of garbanzo beans and 2 tablespoons of tahini and that was a little too much. I'm going to blend some more beans in tonight to mellow it a little. Otherwise, it's great and I can modify to suit my tastes. Husband also liked it.

Guacamole
Very good, but I don't use the ground cayenne pepper--- I chop up a jalapeno or a serano pepper.

Lite Carrot Cake
Very good, but I've lightened it even more.... no oil, no buttermilk. I use 1 cup of unsweetened applesauce instead. For the frosting, I use a light or fat free cream cheese. My family knows that I do these little tweeks and my aunts are always impressed that they can't taste the difference.
