too soon?!
it’s not quite autumn, i do realize that — but the air in colorado has been changing and i even saw some yellow leaves on a green tree on my walk around the lake the other day… just sayin’ – pretty soon, they’ll be tons of corn and pumpkins!
and besides, i love blue moon beer. i’ve tried {almost} all of their beers and i have enjoyed each one.
simple black bean hummus :
– chickpeas {“this” many}
– 1 can or box black beans
– some tomatoes {did i mention how i don’t measure…}
i used these delicious little cherry tomatoes and golden nugget tomatoes. how incredible do just their names sound?! yum.
throw those three simple ingredients in a food processor, add in a little S&P, and spin in some EVOO as needed – start with a little, add as you go if necessary…
blend until desired texture… you know, like – hummus 🙂
serve with whatever. for lunch, i smeared some on a slice of naan bread. pita would work, too. add in some falafel and make a wrap out of it…
or, dip some blue chips in it. YUM!
i accompanied it with this yummy brew.
who cares if it’s kind of an autumn beer?! it was spicy-ish, less pumpkin than spicy – at least according to my palate. i love the colour and i really enjoyed it. warm and complex, it would be good alone as an after-dinner drink, or with a mild dish like this hummus or even a mild cheese.

Blue moon is one of my favorite beers. I had no clue that had a pumpkin ale. Love the idea of black beans in hummus. Might have to try this for football season 🙂
