A Delicious Dish for YOU!
Glen Ivy's Executive Chef, Bill Wavrin, recently hosted a cooking demo where he re-created one of his delicious dishes for a large crowd!-- Hummus with Roasted Garlic and Toasted Pitas! Just saying it makes my mouth water ...
Here's Chef in action ...
Hummus with Roasted Garlic and Toasted Pitas
Garbanzos or chickpeas, like most beans, are a great source of cholesterol-lowering fiber. In addition, garbanzos' high fiber content prevents blood sugar levels from rising too rapidly after a meal, making these beans a perfect choice for those with diabetes, insulin resistance or hypoglycemia. When combined with whole grains such as rice, garbanzos provide virtually fat-free high quality protein. But this is far from what all garbanzos have to offer. Garbanzos are an excellent source of the trace mineral, molybdenum, an integral component of the enzyme sulfite oxidase, which is responsible for detoxifying sulfites. Sulfites are a type of preservative commonly added to prepared foods like delicatessen salads and salad bars. If sulfites are unwittingly consumed, persons who are sensitive to sulfites in these foods may experience rapid heartbeat, headache or disorientation. If you have ever reacted to sulfites, it may be because your molybdenum stores are insufficient to detoxify them.
Yield: 3 cups
Ingredients:
2 cup garbanzo beans cooked
4 cloves roasted garlic
3 tablespoon lemon
2 tablespoons fresh parley
1 tablespoon tahini or sesame seeds
1 tablespoon olive oil
Kosher salt and black pepper to taste
Method:
Combine all the ingredients in a food processor and puree until smooth. Season to taste. Store in an airtight container and refrigerate for up to [1] week.
Per 2 tablespoons (1 ounce) serving:
Calories 28; Protein 2g; Total Fat .5g; Saturated Fat 0g; Carbohydrates 4g; Dietary Fiber 1g; Cholesterol 0mg; Sodium 65mg
Enjoy!!

Celebration of the Senses Day! Let's celebrate!
How often do you really take time to stop and smell the roses? Probably not that often! So why not take some time for yourself this week to celebrate your senses at Glen Ivy Hot Springs Spa!
Listen to the waterfalls & fountains as you make your way through the tropical, landscaped grounds of Glen Ivy or unwind in a Jacuzzi or two! Indulge your sense of smell and taste with a Glen Ivy Shrimp & Citrus Salad (my fave!) or any other menu item of your choosing in Café Solé. Feel our famous Red Clay Mud as it exfoliates the skin, leaving you relaxed and rejuvenated, & watch as your worries of yesterday and today disappear into thin air!
With our new summer packages available Tuesday through Thursday, a trip to Paradise has never sounded more relaxing!
The Weekday Getaway Package includes admission to Paradise, the Grotto Body Moisturizing Experience, a 50 minute Swedish massage and Lunch in Café Solé – sensory overload, we know!
Or, enjoy your day in paradise with a friend-- the new Better Together Package includes 2 admissions to Paradise, 2 Grotto Body Moistuzing Experiences & Lunch for two in Café Solé.
Get away this week and celebrate those senses (and yourself, of course!)! We look forward to seeing you in Paradise!
If you would like more information on any of our Summer Packages, please contact an agent at 888-GLENIVY, or ME at kristen.koman@glenivy.com. I would be happy to assist you!
Cheers!
