Last month’s winner
The winner of the April 2023 RPL Recipe Club is… Marianna Shaknazarian!
April’s recipe was Lemon Asparagus Pasta. Here was Mariana’s review:
Savory, tangy, peppery, delicious. I love a choose-your-own-adventure pasta and the more herbs, capers and fixings I can find to cook it, the better! An improved version of a weeknight staple in my kitchen and something I will definitely make again and again.
Congratulations, Marianna, and thanks to everyone who entered April’s contest. i had so much fun Looking at all your entries and I’m already looking forward to this month’s contest.
May 2023 Recipe: Homemade Hummus!
I rarely say this, but this month’s recipe should come with a warning.
Because once you try homemade hummus, you’ll never want to buy store-bought again.
Hummus is a fairly perfect dish. Want to jazz up a salad or grain bowl? Make some hummus. Tired of the same old sandwich spread? Make some hummus. Need to dive in for a snack when friends are coming over? Make some hummus.
Note: Please feel free to make my homemade hummus recipe or My beet hummus recipe. We will accept entries for either recipe (although you don’t have to do both and you won’t get double credit if you do).
The blog posts have full written (and video) instructions, tips for making these recipes, and ingredient substitutions, so be sure to check them out!

This life-changing homemade hummus is creamy, smooth and fluffy and packed with a rich, nutty and lemony flavor. It’s easy to make with minimal everyday ingredients and has a million different uses!

May 2023 Prize: 14-cup food processor from Cuisinart
This month, we’re excited to give away a 14-cup food processor from Cuisinart! (affiliate link).
Such a great food processor is a game-changer for making dips, pestos, sauces, salsas, nut butters and more. I like to use shredded vegetables for quick salads – I don’t know why but sometimes vegetables are easier and more fun to eat when they are shredded.
This is actually the exact model I own (the one I use to make hummus).
