Quick + Easy Costume: Walter White

As you're getting ready to watch the culmination of what is arguably one of the greatest shows of all time, why not go back to the beginning? Because who doesn't want to be this guy:

It was time to do another Quick + Easy costume, and what's more relevant right now than the titan that is Breaking Bad?

Not only will you be paying homage to the duo's first cook, but this way you don't have to Bic your head.

NOTE: if you're going to carry around rock candy, make sure it's the clear stuff. Blue so doesn't go with this outfit.

American Horror Story: Coven | The teasers begin!

As you all ought to know, I loathed the last season of AHS. To me, if the showrunners wanted to run the series by theme each season, then they should have actually stuck to one "horror" theme! Sci-fi does not belong with asylum, folks. Not that it should never be done, but both genres are so rich in opportunity all on their own. 

Needless to say, I did not finish watching last season. Actually, I never got past the first episode... 

Anyway! Coven will absolutely have my attention when it airs on FX on Wednesday, October 9 @ 10pm. I grew up loving the witchy culture, from fact to fiction and everything in between. Bewitched to Sabrina, The Craft, Hocus Pocus, Halloweentown and even Bell, Book and Candle. (I could go on.)

Now I want to know, what do YOU think of this new teaser trailer? Are you excited for the new season?

Recipe: Pumpkin Hummus

Pumpkin Hummus

Ingredients

1 (15 oz) can Garbanzo Beans (Chickpeas)

3/4 c. Pumpkin Puree

1/2 tsp. Salt

1/2 tsp. ground Cinnamon

1/2 tsp. Cumin

1/4 tsp. ground Ancho Chili Pepper

1 tsp. (or one large clove) minced Garlic

2 tbsp. Lemon Juice (or juice from one lemon)

1/4 c. Extra Virgin Olive Oil

1/2 c. Water

** 1/4 c. Smoky Pumpkin Seeds, ground

So why pumpkin hummus? WHY NOT PUMPKIN HUMMUS?!

1) Jenn loves everything pumpkin.

2) Jenn wants autumn to be ALL THE TIME

3) Jenn's been dying to make her own hummus from scratch!

So how did I make it?

Throw all of the above into a blender and cross your fingers. 

Okay... So I started with this recipe here from "Cooking with Trader Joe's." As it happened, I had just gotten back from a trip to TJ's! So when I realized that I didn't have any lemons or tahini paste... I said, Fuck it! And made it anyway.

While I found sesame seeds in my cupboard to make tahini from scratch with, I knew I had some Smokey Pumpkin Seeds handy from NatureBox. (Which is healthy snack food service that's totally worth it! Click here to check it out.) So, I used a makeshift mortar and pestle--terrible idea--and ground them down as fine as my patience would last. Into the blender the went!

For my first batch o' hummus, it's pretty damn good! Next time, (or tomorrow...), I will absolutely be amping up the spices. But for now, it's a super healthy dip where the pumpkin flavor totally shines through! I'll call it a success.
