Garden Vegetable Hummus

Yields about 1 3/4 cups

INGREDIENTS

1/4 cup tahini
3 tablespoons freshly squeezed lemon juice, plus more as needed
1/4 cup fresh basil
1 tablespoon fresh parsley, chopped
1 tablespoon fresh chives, chopped
1 garlic clove, minced
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas (garbanzo beans), drained and rinsed

DIRECTIONS

To make the garden vegetable hummus, add the tahini, lemon juice, basil, parsley, chives, garlic, olive oil and salt to your Blender. Pulse briefly to combine.

Scrape down the sides of the container with the Flex Edge Tamper and then add half of the chickpeas and process for 30 seconds. Scrape down the sides of the container, and then add the remaining chickpeas and process until smooth, about 1 to 2 additional minutes. Add additional lemon juice as needed to create the desired texture and flavor.

Transfer the hummus to a bowl for serving. Drizzle with extra virgin olive oil and sprinkle with freshly chopped parsley, as desired. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.

All good here.
This week I have decreased my meds, actually added a few pounds 2 or 3, been able to swallow although not eating or drinking, able to drink very small amounts not enough to account for drinking.

Dr appt yesterday .  She stated I was doing good and was on track. 
I was concerned as I am not as far as I think I should be.  She said I was doing good and keep it up.  Retraining the esophagus is a slow process and takes time.  Was amazed I put on weight and state it helps in the process.  

Once I can drink normally I will go back to work. I do not want to pull out the feeding tube in a meeting to take a drink. 🙂

Next appt with her is 1 month and scan will be in 2 months.
