July 17: Nut Butters and Bean Dips
What! You’re still buying that overpriced peanut butter and hummus from the grocery store?
Come learn how to make tasty and nutritious homemade nut butters and bean dips at home for a fraction of the price. Create flavors with the additions you chose and none of the additives you don’t want. We will make classic peanut butter and hummus and then take them to the next level! These dips and spreads make great sandwich spreads as well as appetizers and light meals.

  1. Just figured out that you are about halfway between me in PA and my daughter in NC. If you ever decide to hold a weekend full of classes, I think it'd be something we'd both enjoy and find fulfilling. We could justify coming the 325 miles each way if we'd have a bunch of classes and I think it'd be great fun! Are you thinking of writing a book? I am yearning for some of your unpublished recipes to make myself for the winter! Congratulations on this year's wonderful crop of ribbons!

    1. Thanks Kathryn! We used to live in NC too, about 35 miles east of Charlotte. Keep an eye on the class schedule. One of the local B&B owners and I have been discussing a cooking weekend getaway package as a future possibility!
