Beetroot hummus and homemade crackers

Those of you who have been around awhile know I like to have a go at making pretty much everything, at least once. Homemade crackers have been on my list for a year. I went to a Raw Foods workshop my good friend and talented herbalist and naturopath friend Nicki MacKinnon gave a few months ago and got inspired. I used her cracker recipe, but in absence of a dehydrator, baked the crackers at a very low heat for a looong time. The main ingredient is ground flax seed and they are super delicious. I will ask her if I can share the recipe with you. We like crackers but reading the ingredient list was making me feel a bit ill and really good ones from the health food stores are so expensive, I am so happy to be making them at home now.

And how is THIS for a festive food?! It makes me happy just looking at it. And I don’t even like the colour pink usually. Beetroot hummus. Plus homemade crackers. Equals happy!
