If you’re prepping for a Super bowl party at your house, you got to try to have a little healthy balance in all your high calorie snack intake like those hot wings, BLT and Buffalo chicken dips. To make a easy and simple substitute for some of your dips , try making this amazingly tasty Garlic hummus that I seriously didn’t think would win a prize at my work’s super bowl party. Give it a try and enjoy a healthy treat.
