This Pumpkin Hummus requires 10 ingredients and is super creamy, delicious, flavorful, and perfect for the fall!
This past weekend, my friends and I went up to Ontario, Canada, for the Niagara Grape and Wine Festival to try new wineries and relax. On Saturday and Sunday, you can go to 8 different wineries and try a sample of their new or favorite wine and a food pairing. It was pretty neat and a cool experience, so if you are close to the area and enjoy wine, then this would be up your alley! We ended up going to a total of 10 wineries by the time our weekend was over, and I can’t say enough positive things about the wineries we visited. Most are family-owned, and the wine they create are a reflection of their values! The area where all the wineries are is also beautiful, with many vineyard’s insight!
On Sunday, before heading home, we stopped at one last winery, and we all brought some healthy snacks to share. It felt like a relaxing picnic, but at the winery! I ended up bringing this pumpkin hummus, along with my favorite crackers, Mary’s Gone Crackers, and it was an instant hit! This hummus is so creamy, flavorful, and delicious! So, so good! I hope you all love it! ♥
