Flaxseed Crackers

The husband  took me plant shopping!

Weekends are for watching basketball, sleeping for 10 hours straight, buying hanging baskets, getting dirt under your fingernails while you plant lettuce seeds and eating dinner out because you're too lazy to cook.


Mondays are for wearing dress clothes, listening to the radio while you drive to work, hoping the dogs were good while they were in the garage all day and for sticking to a menu plan.


Mondays are also for looking for after-work snacks and wishing the husband hadn't eaten all of the flaxseed crackers you had Saturday and Sunday.

Flaxseed Crackers
Slightly Adapted From This Recipe


1 cup ground flaxseeds (or 1 cup flaxseed meal)
1/3 cup Parmesan cheese
2 tablespoons wheat germ
1/2 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1/2 cup water


Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.


Ground the flaxseeds, if you're working with flaxseeds and not flaxseed meal. It took me 10 tablespoons to make 1 cup ground flaxseeds.

My new coffee grinder: another present the hubs got me this weekend.

Mix the flaxseeds through onion powder in a large bowl. Then stir in the water until everything is mixed well.

Spray a pan with a little nonstick cooking spray, then dump the cracker mixture onto the pan and spread it out evenly. I placed a sheet of waxed paper on top and spread the mixture by pressing down firmly with my hands. Once it was all about 1/8 inch thick, I removed the wax paper and popped the pan into the oven.

Bake for 15-18 minutes or until firm. Cut or break the crackers while they're still slightly warm.

Enjoy!
