I heard this poem from my Grandma Holt when I was little. She used to sing it as a song to me, but I don't recall the tune. I was born on a Monday and I remember Grandma telling me this.
Well, today I was a Saturday's child, working on food items for the busy upcoming week. I made two kinds of hummus and some turkey sausage for quick breakfasts. The hummus recipes were easy and so much less expensive than buying premade hummus at the store. My recipes made twice as much hummus for less than half of what I paid for it premade. I made two kinds: Avocado Hummus and Sundried Tomato Hummus.

This amount of hummus will last me a couple of weeks. These glass refrigerator boxes have lids and the product will keep nicely for this time. I take about 1/3 c of hummus and a load of veggies for part of my lunch or for a mid morning snack.
On a side note: I have been having trouble with Blogger and comments on my blog. Thanks to the marvelous Jenn at Munchkinland I believe those troubles are over. If you need help with your blog, she is very good and very reasonable.
Terri, this is Jenn with Munchkin Land Designs. I'm testing out the new comments system. ;) And I'm writing from Internet Explorer.
