Hummus and Rice Fritters
Hope you all had a wonderful fun filled Halloween. I know we did. This was the first year that my kids just wanted to keep trick or treating all night (I was exhausted). We have more candy in our house now then I think we have all year long. So here is a recipe to hopefully balance out some of that sweet candy. 馃檪
These hummus fritters made for a quick healthy meal. I serve them with a salad on the side. My kids love to dip them in homemade ranch dressing when they eat them. I only add a little bit of red pepper so that they are kid friendly but if you like heat I would add additional red pepper.
