I used to get pita sandwiches stuffed with hummus, cucumbers, tomatoes and onions. I LOVED them! So I had an idea. What about putting those toppings on a pizza crust? Bake the crust first, spread it with hummus and then add the the vegetabes. Olives would be good on this too.

I find tahini in the Middle Eastern foods section of my supermarket. In a pinch I have have used creamy peanut butter as a sub and it has worked nicely. Not exactly the same flavor, but a good alternative if there is no tahini available. Here is the recipe for hummus that I use:

Hummus

1 16oz can garbanzo beans (chick peas), drained and rinsed well

1 Tbsp fresh lemon juice

1 to 2 cloves of garlic

2 Tbsp tahini

Drain garbanzo beans. In a food processor or blender mix with lemon juice, garlic, and tahini. Blend until smooth. If necessary, can add up to a 1/4 cup water to make the mixture smooth.

I've never actually made it. I just buy the stuff. I hear it is easy to make, but when my mom made it, it was not edible. I don't know if she used bad tahini or too much tahini or what. Tahini is sold (at least around here) in one of two places. With the peanut butter, or in the refrigerated section. I've also heard it is easy to make by grinding sesame seeds in the coffee grinder or Magic Bullet.

Why are you afraid to try deli hummus? Hummus should be quite safe, unless it's right out there in the open with gluten nearby.

The only hummus I hesitate to buy is the stuff on the cold food bar at Central Market. It's right by the wheat bread.

Just afraid off cc. I know it's probably safe, but I always prefer to make my own everything.

I like to put pesto on a pizza shell. It's really good with some cold salmon, lettuce and tomatoe, and a little smoked provalone. I'm going to try your hummis recipe using PB. Interesting.

I use this recipe too-- I do keep the water from the can in reserve and use that instead of tap water. Also use more garlic and someitmes lime instead of lemon depending whats on the trees outside. This is a great base to experiment with by adding some tomato, artichoke heart event he baby corn sometimes which is my grad daughters favorite.

I never thought to use lime and I love artichoke hearts. I can't wait to try these combinations! I don't know why I never thought to use the water from the can. That is brilliant:) Thanks for the ideas I look forward to trying the variations.

Its really a fun base to play with. My granddaughter loves adding chopped pickles too!

I am eating this now and it's soooo good! I started with Ener-G rice pizza shells. Topped with olive oil and baked. Cooled slightly then covered with some really good hummus, sliced tomatoes, white onions and Kalamatta olives. Can't wait to make this again! I like it so much I might have it for a bedtime snack. Mmmm...

      Hello, @Jordan Carlson, So glad you're feeling better.   Tecta is a proton pump inhibitor.  PPI's also interfere with the production of the intrinsic factor needed to absorb Vitamin B12.  Increasing the amount of B12 you supplement has helped overcome the lack of intrinsic factor needed to absorb B12. Proton pump inhibitors also reduce the production of digestive juices (stomach acids).  This results in foods not being digested thoroughly.  If foods are not digested sufficiently, the vitamins and other nutrients aren't released from the food, and the body cannot absorb them.  This sets up a vicious cycle. Acid reflux and Gerd are actually symptoms of producing too little stomach acid.  Insufficient stomach acid production is seen with Thiamine and Niacin deficiencies.  PPI's like Tecta also block the transporters that pull Thiamine into cells, preventing absorption of thiamine.  Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are difficulty swallowing, gagging, problems with food texture, dysphagia. Other symptoms of Thiamine deficiency are symptoms of ADHD and anxiety.  Vyvanse also blocks thiamine transporters contributing further to Thiamine deficiency.  Pristiq has been shown to work better if thiamine is supplemented at the same time because thiamine is needed to make serotonin.  Doctors don't recognize anxiety and depression and adult onset ADHD as early symptoms of Thiamine deficiency. Stomach acid is needed to digest Vitamin C (ascorbic acid) in fruits and vegetables.  Ascorbic acid left undigested can cause intestinal upsets, anxiety, and heart palpitations.   Yes, a child can be born with nutritional deficiencies if the parents were deficient.  Parents who are thiamine deficient have offspring with fewer thiamine transporters on cell surfaces, making thiamine deficiency easier to develop in the children.  A person can struggle along for years with subclinical vitamin deficiencies.  Been here, done this.  Please consider supplementing with Thiamine in the form TTFD (tetrahydrofurfuryl disulfide) which helps immensely with dysphagia and neurological symptoms like anxiety, depression, and ADHD symptoms.  Benfotiamine helps with improving intestinal health.  A B Complex and NeuroMag (a magnesium supplement), and Vitamin D are needed also.

      @pothosqueen, Welcome to the tribe! You'll want to get checked for nutritional deficiencies and start on supplementation of B vitamins, especially Thiamine Vitamin B 1.   There's some scientific evidence that the fat pad that buffers the aorta which disappears in SMA is caused by deficiency in Thiamine.   In Thiamine deficiency, the body burns its stored fat as a source of fuel.  That fat pad between the aorta and digestive system gets used as fuel, too. Ask for an Erythrocyte Transketolace Activity test to look for thiamine deficiency.  Correction of thiamine deficiency can help restore that fat pad.   Best wishes for your recovery!   Interesting Reading: Superior Mesenteric Artery Syndrome in a 6-Year-Old Girl with Final Diagnosis of Celiac Disease https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31089433/#:~:text=Affiliations,tissue and results in SMAS.

      Wow! You're pretty young to have a diagnosis of SMA syndrome. But youth also has its advantages when it comes to healing, without a doubt. You might be surprised to find out how your health improves and how much better you feel once you eliminate gluten from your diet. Celiac disease is an autoimmune disorder that, when gluten is consumed, triggers an attack on the villous lining of the small bowel. This is the section of the intestines where all our nutrition is absorbed. It is made up of billions of tiny finger-like projections that create a tremendous surface area for absorbing nutrients. For the person with celiac disease, unchecked gluten consumption generates inflammation that wears down these fingers and, over time, greatly reduces the nutrient absorbing efficiency of the small bowel lining. This can generate a whole host of other nutrient deficiency related medical problems. We also now know that the autoimmune reaction to gluten is not necessarily limited to the lining of the small bowel such that celiac disease can damage other body systems and organs such as the liver and the joints and cause neurological problems.  It can take around two years for the villous lining to completely heal but most people start feeling better well before then. It's also important to realize that celiac disease can cause intolerance to some other foods whose protein structures are similar to gluten. Chief among them are dairy and oats but also eggs, corn and soy. Just keep that in mind.
