Tiny taste buds don't always respond well to gobs of garlic or spicy sauces. But it's never too early to introduce your little one to flavorful foods that are a foundation for a healthy, adventurous diet. Hummus, the popular Middle Eastern dip made with chick-peas and tahini, is a good source of protein and dietary fiber and is surprisingly easy to make. This kid-friendly version is made with orange juice and just a tiny bit of garlic to appeal to even the pickiest of little eaters.

Totally trying this! Thank you for the inspiration.

My kids love making and eating their hummus! It is super easy to make and kids are more likely to eat the meals when they've been involved in their preparation. There is another blog that I follow in search for culinary inspiration: http://foodwithkidappeal.blogspot.com
Hope you like it too!
