David Hunt 10/15/2018 10:32 AMHummus is a staple food item at my house. Every week, I make at least one big batch of hummus. See link for the recipe that I use. I triple the recipe (that's what will fit in my food processor) and I don't add any water so as to make an amazing texture.

David Hunt 10/15/2018 10:25 AMA dozen eggs = 636 gallons. That's right, every single egg requires an average of 53 gallons of water to produce. Chickens require water-intensive grain feed (about two pounds per every pound of chicken protein produced) as well as water for drinking and irrigation.-
Emily Malaga Thompson 10/15/2018 10:36 AMTruly free-range chickens require a lot less grain (and make tastier, brighter eggs).
