Hummus, bean dips and cheese spreads

I just had to share my latest hummus addiction - Hommus with Spinach from Wakim's foods in Bristol, PA. Frankly ALL their hummus flavors are delicious (the red pepper hommus is also a fav), and all use fresh, natural ingredients - no additives or preservatives, and low fat/low cholesterol. Plus I love the fact that they are based nearby - I am able to support a local business and transporting the products is not sucking up a ton of gas.
And while we're talking local, my daughter is hooked on Philadelphia's Bobbi's Tuscan White Bean Dip and Garlic Cheddar Cheese spread. Both have pretty strong garlic tastes, which is great - helping her develop a more grown-up palate and getting her more used to my style of cooking! And like Wakim's, the ingredients are all natural. They are wonderful for snacks after school or even lunches. We have brought them out when she has friends over and they also rave about them. Her favorite pairing with both is carrots and Snack Factory pretzel crisps - which, hey, happen to be from Princeton (also local).
If you can find these products in your store, by all means do. McCaffrey's in Yardley is where we get them, and they often have Bobbi's samples to try - bonus!

    So much of our history can be learned through food!
    My second book, The Thousand Dollar Dinner, follows the unique story of a luxurious 17-course feast that helped launch the era of grand banquets in nineteenth century America. I am also the author of Mrs Goodfellow: The Story of America's First Cooking School.
