You may have noticed that whenever we take a vacation, we come back with a recipe. Our recent jaunt to Key West was no different. While we could have come back with a recipe for traditional Key Lime Pie (we did) and the best lime slush (also have that), we really wanted to recreate our favorite lunch at Paseao (which apparently is also in Seattle, who knew?).

Everyone who tried it liked it and I wish we'd made a bigger batch this last time. A side of Garlic Bagel Chips absolutely makes this dish! Ingredients: … Continue reading Smoky Chipotle Hummus
