"FoodForTravel" news and stories

One of my favorite portable foods is hummus and pita. I'm a busy mother of two and always on the go, so I choose healthy, protein-packed foods to nourish myself and my family. I like hummus in particular because I can whip up a batch in less than 5 minutes, and it keeps well without refrigeration. I can put it in a plastic container along with some pita bread and raw veggie sticks and it's the perfect picnic meal. It travels well, and would be equally great after hiking, surfing, or apres ski, too.

I like to experiment with various nut butters in my hummus recipe. I like traditional hummus, but I also think twists on the usual are fun.
