This little blog is a whopping THREE years old this week! Can you believe Hummusapien is a toddler? I sure can’t. They grow up so fast! I don’t think it’s possible to describe to you how this space has changed my life, but I’ll try. I know I’m usually funny and sarcastic and un-serious, but today I’m gonna be emotional for a hot minute. Tears may or may not have been shed while I wrote this… I want to take a moment to thank you all from the bottom of my hummus-loving heart for your support throughout this ridiculously crazy roller coaster of three years. Starting this blog was hands down the best decision I ever made, and probably the best decision I will ever make. The unparalleled feeling I get when you comment, when you tell me you loved a recipe, when you say you’ve been inspired, when you say you fell in love with your kitchen…there’s honestly nothing like it. It’s euphoric. I am overwhelmed with gratitude for the friends I’ve made along the way and for your undying support and encouragement as readers and dear friends.This blog is everything I am. It makes me better each day. It challenges me. It gives me direction. It gives me purpose. This blog has enabled me to grow as a writer, blogger, photographer, cook, communicator, and friend in ways I never could have imagined. I never thought I would be here. Now there’s no place I’d rather be! I can only hope that my passion is contagious. I hope you catch a really bad case of it and go chase your dreams, too. I hope to never stop inspiring you to embrace your healthiest self, to eat the salted chocolate cookie when you want the damn salted chocolate cookie, to find the joy in cooking, to laugh at your mistakes and to grow bigger and better from them.I hope that when like gives you chickpeas, you bake peanut butter banana chickpea cookies.I hope that when life gives you quinoa, you stuff it in a crumble.
