These sound great! I love crackers as a quick snack but haven’t had them in so long – you know, being healthy and all. These seem really light, and definitely guilt free.

After trying several things that didn't work, I mixed the seeds with a few Tbsp of water and put them in the food processor. They didn't totally grind, but enough so that the mixture thickened up and the crackers were a success.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31773345.post-79678495687487993882015-06-27T11:30:39.564-04:002015-06-27T11:30:39.564-04:00why do people keep referring to "THESE cracke...why do people keep referring to "THESE crackerS"?

A few people teased my date - wanted to know if I'd be driving/paying, etc. He was a little embarrassed to be taking a girl in a tux, but we really looked fabulous. So fabulous my sister had me wear a tux as maid of honor. Birdie rocks that tux! And the short hair. And the long hair. And everything she wears! Because she knows who she is and she likes herself.
