I have a new favorite snack. It’s the best cracker on the planet (bold statement I know). It’s all good ingredients, nothing bad or overly processed. Plus it fits perfectly with my renewed dedication to eating clean!
Enough anticipation, my new favorite cracker is…
FLACKERS!
Ok, so I suppose technically they are not a cracker. What qualifies as a cracker anyway? These babies are flax seeds smashed together with nothing but spices. Sounds weird, but they are utterly delicious.
Here comes the bad part: they are holy expensive! $5 a box, and a box only contains 18 crackers which is 6 servings. Yikes. But in this case it’s definitely you get what you pay for: amazingness. They have been on sale for $3.50 a box at Whole Foods all month which is what led me to finally try them. I had been admiring them on the shelf for awhile. Since trying them I’ve been picking up a box every time I’m in the store (about once a week, sometimes more) since they’re still on sale.
This evening I was reading the box while I was waiting for my pot pie (clean from scratch) to bake and I noticed they are made in Minneapolis. ”Huh that’s cool.” I thought, BUT THEN I had a mini panic attack. What if they don’t sell these in Tennessee?! What am I going to do? I had to go grocery shopping tonight anyway so I picked up 2 boxes instead of one. I should chill out and not be a hoarder right?
Ohhhhh no. I looked up their website just now and they most certainly are not in distribution near Nashville! Well there’s 4 days left in the month with the sale still on so I know what I have to do.
The movers are going to take one look at my cupboard and say “man this girl is crazy (and maybe a hoarder)!”
Hey, you gotta do what you gotta do. And you gotta try these!
PS: I got so wrapped up in my soon to be distance from flackers I forgot to tell you what they’re great with: peanut butter (soynut in my case), hummus, cheese, plain, you name it.
