Home Made Whole Grain Crackers

Recipe from here. Take a look and be sure to read the comments for some great ideas.

My modified version:

The night before cream in a large bowl:

• 1 1/2 cup of plain whole yogurt
• 1/2 cup of butter, softened

Mix in:

• 3 1/2 cups of whole wheat flour
• flavorings – caraway seeds, black pepper, habanero pepper, chipotle powder, sesame seeds, use your imagination

Cover and leave in a warm place for 12 to 24 hours (this is the “soaking” part). Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Using white flour to dust your surface and dough, roll your dough out thin. Cut into strips and then cut into squares.

Place your squares on an ungreased cookie sheet and prick with a fork. Bake for about 8 minutes and check, keep checking every two minutes until done. They should be browning slightly on the edges, when done. Take off of sheet and place on a cooling rack and enjoy!

Coconut Oil

I bought some coconut oil from iherb.com because I couldn’t find it in my stores.

It’s a fabulous cooking fat. If you’re worried about it having saturated fat, time to do some research and update your mindset.

Ways I’ve used it so far:

• for making curries. that’s a natural.
• in scrambled eggs and frittatas.
• for making popcorn. this is awesome. get your timing right; the fat will smoke.
• for”buttering” sweet corn. this, too, is awesome.
• I tried it in home made energy bars; it didn’t seem worth  it to me.

Coconut Oil, I’m glad you’re in my life…
