I'm excited to try this. I never like the kind you buy at the store and everybody always says it's nothing like home made...we'll see :)
this looks delicious Bre! where do u get the tahini? and are the garbanzo beans just by the beans? yumm!
Yes Brooke! The tahini I have a pic is usually in the Asian/cultural section of grocery, they are starting to carry another brand, if not can for sure get it at a whole foods, and beans are with the other beans, also know as chickpeas. :)
