My girlfriend Daryl who has the fabulous blog UnButtoningPants.com shared this easy pita chip recipe with me, while I found this hummus recipe on CookingLight.com {only 39 calories!!}. Bake up these chips to serve at your next app-friendly soiree or take them with you as the perfect on-the-go snack {watch out Stacy’s Pita chips, you have some competition!}
