Butternut Squash Hummus

This recipe is what happens when you have some leftover steamed butternut squash and some chickpeas sitting in your fridge! I often think up fun food combinations but this time, these two ingredients were just sitting in small leftover containers on the same shelf, waiting to be discovered!

The highlight of my night was when my husband kept asking for more hummus (he is a notorious veggie and fruit hater).

I hope you have as much success with this recipe as we did tonight!
