My daughter hates hummus, but loves edamame! She’s not a dip person either. Maybe this can open that door a bit.Reply
MOMables
You won’t know until you try it Ambery! Maybe let her help make the hummus?

I was wondering about those carrots… are those fresh carrots or some sort of carrot chips? If carrot chips, could you tell me more?! :-)Reply
