In addition to the pecan squares, I made the Curried Couscous and Hummus to bring to our small group last Wednesday night. The Curried Couscous was very simple to make, and delicious. It is definitely a keeper recipe. My husband loved it! I substituted dried cranberries for Ina's suggested dried currants, since I have no idea where to find those, and it worked well. Wyatt (my husband) did suggest to toast the almonds next time before adding them to the Couscous, and I agree. I think this would allow you to get more of the almond taste into the mix, which for me would definitely be a good thing. Otherwise, it was a perfect recipe!
The hummus was also really good and another simple recipe. We Smiths like our hummus, so we've made plenty of our own batches over the years (9/10 were made by my husband using a recipe that's only in his head). Ina's hummus was tasty, but I think I still like Wyatt's (husband's) version better. Wyatt's has cannellini beans (pretty sure that's what they're called) in addition to garbanzo beans/chickpeas, and also has olive oil. I think there are a few other differences, but not having an actual written recipe to compare to, it's hard to know for sure. Ina's recipe was tasty, though, and it will come in handy when I can't obtain the elusive Smith family hummus recipe from my husband's brain.

That's tzatziki sauce at the front, which was also quite yummy.

I want to come to your small group meeting next time! That food looks great!
I have really been wanting to try the couscous, I love curry, so it sounds so yummy.
I also agree that Ina's hummus was good, but not great. I have a version of Wyatt's that I got him to write down once, and that is what I always use. I can give you a copy of it Amy if Wyatt wont give it to you! :)
Amy, your spread was delicious!!! And these pictures are so great! Is there anyway that I can get that recipe for that tzatziki sauce?
Carissa, I just might get that recipe from you. I'll see if I can get him to put it onto paper for me, and if I'm unsuccessful, you might be hearing from me. :) And you're always welcome at our small group. You know where we meet!
Darby, the tzatziki sauce is another recipe that's only in Wyatt's head right now. I'll see if I can get him to put it onto paper for you.
