ReplyDeleteHi Oraphan, I saw your comments on my blog: Reading, Writing, and Recipes. I'll probably try using carrots next time I make the Not-Too-Spicy Sweet Potato Hummus. I think I'll have to increase the spices to balance the carrots more intense flavor and natural sweetness. I hope you and your son enjoy making Apple Hearts and Cherry Salad for Valentine's Day.
