from the most delicious, simple to make, whole wheat water crackers

 

 

Sometimes it is the simplest of things that make us happy.

Days when the sun is shining and the windows are open.

A mason jar with fresh cut flowers.

A simple snack of cheese and crackers.

Our fridge and pantry can be close to empty, and yet if we have some cheese and a few crackers, we’re pretty happy. Cheese is something we will always have; usually more than we know what to do with.

Crackers are a different story. I buy them, and they tend to disappear almost instantly. Unfortunately, the kids, being almost perpetually in a hurry, grab a handful and go, most of the times without cheese. So we have poor lonely cheese with no cracker -mate in sight.

Problem solved with a few pantry staples –

whole wheat pastry flour

sea salt

olive oil

and water

that’s all you need

You could get fancy and add nuts or seeds, but my kids prefer plain when it comes to their crackers.

The dough comes together in a food processor, and then you just roll, cut, and bake. How simple is that?

And they are amazing. I know I say it all t he time, but homemade is always, ALWAYS better, and my days of buying crackers are long gone.
