Nope! Nope! Nope!


I got so stinking proud of myself today! The kids were BEGGING me to bake more of the muffins that had zucchini in them! That's right... Zucchini! Look at me winning at life! I'm just the winningest winner ever! I'm gonna find me another hidden veggie recipe and just be awesome!


 I found a recipe for carrot and cheddar crackers that look like those cheddar ones in the store (rhythm s with wheeze its!) Sounded easy enough...



This was the point where you are suppose to be able to LIGHTLY FLOUR the counter and roll it out. It was a soft sticky mess. It stuck to my hands and the Rolling pin every. single. time! LIES! My counter looked like the Blizzard of '96 just to get it semi rolled and unstuck from fingers!!

Just a tiny glimpse of the mess. I think at this point I started muttering about how stupid life was and that'll I just buy a darn box of organic crackers. I don't care if the box costs a $100 because the cheddar comes from free range cows who graze on grass fertilized natural by unicorn farts. I was not well
Forget the nice neat squares! No way was that gonna work! I grabbed a heart cookie cutter. As you can see they are a little busted up like my poor battered new healthy recipe-heart

So it appears that I only violently stabbed some of the "hearts" because some are rather puffy.  Got to be a cracker archaeologists and dust away the buckets full of  the light flour dusting
 The kids tell me that after I dusted them off, they weren't bad. Not sure if that's the truth or just them seeing the crazy in my eye.  I guess we shall see how many days they are left in Sydney's snack pocket in her school bag.
 Will I try these again? Probably one day when my hands stop cracking and bleeding from the five thousand hand washings and I get over my overly overdramatic self and figure out what I did wrong;) Even someone with a degree in baking can royally screw up a simple looking recipe.
