Celebrate Garlic Month with Sabra Roasted Garlic Hummus-Giveaway

April 24, 2016 by Kathryn 196 Comments

I am a huge fan of garlic and I know I’m not the only one. It’s funny to think that such a pungent food could have such a devoted following, but people around the world know that everything’s better with garlic. In fact, the whole month of April has even been dubbed “Garlic Month!” In honour of the occasion, here are six facts about garlic that you might not know:

Garlic is a member of the lily family.
The smell of garlic can be removed from your hands by running them under cold water while rubbing a stainless steel object.
China consumes the most garlic per capita per year; it is also the leader in garlic production, growing a staggering 46 billion pounds per year.
Elephant Garlic isn’t actually garlic at all it is a leek
Garlic was so highly prized in the ancient world that it was even found in Tutankhamen’s tomb.
The word garlic comes from the Anglo-Saxon words ‘gar’ meaning spear and ‘lac’ meaning plant.

September 15, 2015 by Kathryn 159 Comments

As much as I love summer, I have to admit that my family went a little more crazy with indulgences than we should have during those warm summer months. From decadent feasts of steak and ribs on the barbeque to dreamy ice cream concoctions on the beach, occasional treats became a little too frequent during July and August! But now school is in full swing, cooler weather has arrived and it’s time to get back on track with our usual healthy diet. And that means I need to have plenty of nutritious snacks in the house for my hungry boys!

Sabra Hummus has been a favourite with our family for years now. And just in time for the back-to-school bustle, the company has released kid-friendly Sabra Single Serve Hummus in new Pizza Flavour! With protein, fibre and a flavour kids will love, it’s a great choice for lunchboxes or after-school snacks. And as an added bonus, using Sabra Hummus as dip actually gets my boys excited about eating their vegetables! [Read more…]

With school now back in full swing, packing lunches has become a routine and in this house, that usually means that the lunch itself is fairly routine too. A sandwich, pudding, a granola bar…day after day I pack up the same items and for the most part, my boys don’t complain. Still, I can’t help but want to add a little more variety to their lunchboxes, especially if I can do so in a healthy way!

That’s why Sabra Dips have become my new lunchtime essential. Whether I’m making a school lunch or planning an after-school snack, the flavourful hummus, guacamole and salsa are always top picks. My personal favourite is definitely the hummus; it’s full of protein and fibre to help power my boys through their day and comes in so many delicious flavours! [Read more…]

Sabra Hummus is a Delicious Rich Dip That’s Better for You-Giveaway

September 8, 2012 by Kathryn 132 Comments

There are few things I love more than a really good dip for chips or veggies and one of my absolute favourite dips is hummus. Not only is the blend of chickpeas, olive oil and lemon juice delicious; it’s healthy too! Low in fat and a source of protein and fibre…what’s not to love?

I have tried a few different varieties of store-bought hummus in the past and I’ve just never found the taste very good compared to the simple, wholesome taste of the dip I made myself. So when I got the chance to try Sabra hummus, a high-quality brand of hummus made with authentic ingredients and containing no trans fat or cholesterol, I was a little hesitant but eager to see if this would finally be a store-bought brand that I could love.
