Nothing beats homemade hummus. Once I started making it we haven't gone back. It does take some prep work to pre-soak the beans, but some people just use canned. I tend to make a lot since my daughter loves to eat it straight up. I also boil my garlic with beans. It keeps the hummus from being too garlicky for the kids and my husband doesn't like raw garlic in things, so it works.
