Cup of Yum
Notes
- Tahini: tahini is a paste similar to peanut butter but made from sesame seeds. It has a unique and delicious flavor and can usually be found near the peanut butter or in the natural food aisle (or ordered online - I've ordered the Lior brand from Amazon). Tahini is worth keeping on hand if you make (and consume) a lot of hummus like I do.
- Peanut Butter: I've never substituted peanut butter so I can't attest to the results.
