My New Favorite Cracker

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.
