Hummus is a Great Bento Item 2

Posted on September 01, 2009 by Debra

I like adding hummus to bento boxes because 1. protein source and 2. allows many dipping options. By dipping options, I mean carrot sticks, celery, crackers… you get the idea. Featured in these two boxes is the Red Bean Merlot grapeseed oil hummus and the Garbanzo Riesling grapeseed oil hummus. I used to daydream of making my own hummus, but after tasting these, why bother?

Other items in the large square bento box are carrots, lettuce wrapped veggie burgers, insalata caprese, haupia, strawberry and lychee medley. The small box contains yellow carrots (a dipping option), insalata caprese and some olive garnish.

"No, if anyone orders Merlot, I’m leaving. I am NOT drinking any f*****g Merlot!" Comments Off

Posted on August 31, 2009 by Debra

That funny line from the movie “Sideways”crept into my mind when I read this hummus label. It’s locally made and being sampled, (I love samples, but I digress) at the Farmer’s Market yesterday. I savored a small square smeared with this purple-brown goodness and wondered, “Why would anyone have objection to Merlot”? Confession: I’ve never tasted Merlot. So what’s the problem? Confession: I don’t drink wine. All right… last confession: I don’t drink any alcohol. I’m happy just to be blissfully ignorant and munch this yummy merlot flavored hummus which will be featured in tomorrow’s bento box. BTW, I have no affiliation but I have to say all the hummus from Sound Bites tasted delish and I bought a couple different varieties.
