A Personal Note

“Howdy, I’m Ben! I’ve always believed that the best recipes come from using simple, everyday ingredients. One morning on the homestead, after boiling a fresh batch of eggs for breakfast, I had a lightbulb moment. I decided to blend those boiled eggs with a generous dollop of tahini, a squeeze of lemon, and a clove of garlic. The result was this surprisingly smooth, tangy, and protein-packed dip. It became an instant hit at our family gatherings—a snack that’s both hearty and satisfying without any extra carbs. This Mediterranean Keto Egg Hummus is my tribute to those uncomplicated, real-food moments that make life on the farm so memorable.” – Benjamin Walker
