Whole Wheat Crackers

Whole Wheat Crackers


1 and 1/4 cups whole wheat flour
1/3 cup sesame seeds, toasted
1/2 tsp coarse sea salt
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
1 tsp honey
Toppings:  sea salt, almonds, nutritional yeast, sesame seeds, wheat germ, black pepper, poppy seeds, etc.


    Heat the oven to 350 degrees.  Mix the flour, sesame seeds and salt together.  Add the oil and 6-8 TBSP water and knead until the dough forms a ball.  I had to wet my hands a bit to form a ball.  Divide the dough into quarters and roll out into 1/8 inch thick rounds or rectangles.  In a small bowl, combine the honey and water and then brush over the crackers.  Place on a cookie sheet and prick several holes in the dough with a fork.  Sprinkle with your choice of toppings!  Bake for 10 minutes, rotate once, then bake for 12 minutes.  Let cool completely and store in an air tight container.  Delicious served with seedless grapes and hummus!

How much weight can you lose or keep off?  

"How many more pounds dieting women shed in a year when they....

5 lbs- Ate meals that they made at home
6 lbs- Kept a food journal
8 lbs- Never skipped a meal"

    Remember this holiday season to slow down and appreciate the wonders of nature.  Take time to enjoy the company of good friends.
