roasted garlic hummus

i've been making hummus that i felt sort of meh about for a long time.  it was good, but for some reason never tasted as good as other people's hummus.  you know how that happens?  and then.... i decided to try roasting my garlic before i added it.  i know, this isn't revolutionary.  no one landed on the moon and it was only one giant step for ME, not mankind.  but STILL, i'm pretty excited.  so if you've been feeling meh about your own hummus, give this a shot.  and if you have other ideas for hummus i'd love to hear! (another hummus you might love)  more after the jump!

i like big {oat}balls and i cannot lie!

yeah, i wrote that.  no shame.  these oat balls have me all riled up, they're so good!  and i'm not going to advise you to dip them in melted chocolate (DO IT!) because that would transform them from a healthy breakfast / snack to dessert.  but if you did, you probably wouldn't be disappointed. recipe after the jump.
