Making Pumpkin Hummus!

​October is always our favorite month! Cooler temperatures, Fall Festivals, Halloween and of course pumpkins!  We will soon have our annual visit to the pumpkin patch and apple orchard.  We are not overly crazy about pumpkin products, but definitely love our fair share of pumpkin during the season.  

There seems to be pumpkin products everywhere you look! Pumpkin chips, pumpkin granola, pumpkin coffee, pumpkin waffles, pumpkin cereal. You name it! I picked up a couple cans of organic pumpkin and made some hummus. It was really delicious and the pumpkin added a nice flavor to the hummus! With some fresh cut vegetables, it made a perfect appetizer!
