Ranch Hummus + Giveaway!

I can’t believe school is less than a month away and that I’m already shopping for school supplies, talking about back-to-school clothes and planning school lunch ideas.

Ranch Hummus | Real Food by Dad

This seems like the shortest summer, but that’s because it is! I hate thinking about it. We have so many things left to still do, but for now the little guy and I have been working on this ranch-flavored hummus.

He loves hummus and ranch, so we decided that combining the two was a must try. As it turns out, it’s also deliciously good and on point. And to keep it nice and chilled, I’m going to be packing his 3rd grade lunches in the PackIt Freezable Carryall Lunch Bag.

Have you seen this thing? No more heavy lunch bags from stuffing them with ice packs. Nope. PackIt is the only cooler-style lunch bag. The freezable gel is built right into the walls of the bag, so it keeps food safe and chilled for 10 hours. I know, ah-mazing! Along with that, the soft sides are still malleable and collapsible so it folds down easily to fit in a kid’s backpack—gotta love that!

So until school starts, we are using this PackIt freezable lunch bag to transport lunches to the beach and just about everywhere else. To see more shapes and sizes that PackIt has to offer, click here. And don’t forget to use the promo code REALFOODBYDAD15 to get 15% off your order.

  • I don’t have any school supplies to shop for, but I do have a mouth that loves ranch AND hummus. I love that you combined these two ah-may-zing flavors into a bowl of perfection that I want to dip my head into! Pinned!

  • No Spoon Necessary

    I can’t believe it’s time for back to school either, Matt.. but my furry four legged child was kicked out of obedience scool, so I don’t have to worry about school supplies this year. 😉 I looove ranch dressing, and hummus is always in my fridge. So this mash up is freggin’ ah-maze-ing! Love it and can’t wait t to try i! Pinned! Cheers!

  • I think the earlier part of the year was especially hard on folks, so everyone has been rushing around, traveling… all that stuff. Maybe a little downtime is good too. Hope you can relax a bit before school starts up (or maybe that’s when you can relax :-)) I’ve been making big batches of hummus and other dips, spreads, salady things, this summer… it’s my favorite thing to make when I don’t want to turn the oven on.
