How to use tomato hummus
When Weezl wrote this meal plan she specified that it is used as a lunch on week 4 of meal plan 2 . However, there is far more of this recipe than is needed for one lunch. So I would recommend that you use it in any hungry moments as a stop gap with any spare bread that you have – lovely on toast!
