Vegetable crackers, sweet crackers, tamari-flavored rice crackers, even plain stone-ground whole wheat crackers.... they are such an easy, portable snack or addition to a meal. I think my least favorite crackers are flax crackers, mostly because the flax seeds are usually left whole… Continue reading Garlic Red Pepper Chia Crackers

Actually, this can be for any time, but this is a good replacement for that smooth and creamy drink that many people have at this time of year.
