These crackers are seriously addictive, and delicious with the Roasted Parsnip Skordalia recipe I posted last week. This was my first experience ever making my own crackers, and I would definitely do it again! It’s actually easier than it seems, so I’m going to try this out with some other flours and spices as well. … Continue reading Smoky Carrot Cumin Crackers
I hope everyone is having a wonderful holiday season! Andrew and I have been visiting my family for a few days, and then we’re off to Phoenix soon to visit with his family.
