Seedy Oat Crackers

That's a lot of seeds

I've been wanting to make these for a while. First I didn't have the chia and sunflower seeds. Then I foolishly assumed I had raw pumpkin seeds in the cabinet - NOT. So it took a little while to finally get them done. They were worth the wait.

Seedy Oat Crackers (Adpated from BonAppetit)

1 c old fashioned oats
3/4 c pumpkin seeds (raw)
1/3 c sunflower seeds (raw)
1/3 c sesame seeds
3T chia seeds
3T poppy seeds
3T flaxseed
1t salt (kosher)
4t canola oil
2T maple syrup
3/4 c water

Mix all ingredients in a bowl and toss to coat. Let sit 10 minutes. Form a ball (mine wasn't much of a ball). Place on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Place another sheet of parchment on top. Roll out to about 1/8" thick. Remove top layer of parchment and bake for 15-20 minutes at 350 until the edges are browned. Remove from oven and carefully turn cracker over. I found it easier to flip it onto another baking sheet lined with parchment. Bake for an additional 15-20 minutes until edges are browned. Let cool on baking sheet. Break into pieces and serve. Store in air-tight container.

Don't worry about the shape

I misread the recipe and put 1T of salt - quite a difference. I think because everything else was tablespoons, I just went with it. They were a little salty but not to the point where you couldn't eat them. Just to the point of oh - those are a tad salty.

New Kid on the Block

So here's a picture of the new kid on the block. Ain't she a beauty? It's a Blomberg . They are fairly new to the US. They have been around in Europe for quite a while. I really liked the design. I've been dying to have a freezer on the bottom. With the old refrigerator I would constantly lose brain cells by hitting my head on the freezer will poking around in the refrigerator. It really makes sense to have the refrigerator on top - that is where you spend most of your time. When we bought the old one, it was an emergency situation. The prior one was leaking on the floor and was no longer cooling. Fifteen years ago the freezer on the bottom was just starting to get popular but we were in no situation to wait for delivery. We had to take what they had on hand. Now the freezer on the bottom is by no means unique. What is - is this freezer's design. There are 3 compartments in the freezer. I used to have a chest freezer in the basement and everything would get los...

Mensa Member?

I think Mickey is a member of Mensa. We heard him last night but could not determine where he was in the kitchen (or should I say the Sous Chef could not locate him - I certainly was not looking). He had been lurking in the toaster cabinet the night before and averted the glue trap. This is absolute torture. Still no cooking going on.

Nothing in the Larder

Well there's nothing left in the freezer except some peeps from Easter. Shockingly they are good until 2016 - that's reassuring huh? This raises a few questions: Why do I keep peeps in the freezer? Well they are delicious frozen. I don't know why I havent eaten them yet??? Why is the freezer empty? because we are getting a new refrigerator. This one is 15 years old and quite frankly it owes us nothing. Every once it a while it lets out a big sigh. We figured we better replace it before it lets out one last final sigh. Why am I calling it the larder? Well I think of that Simpson's episodes where Moe calls Homer fancy for calling the garage a garage and not a car hole. I know it's not the same but it just makes me laugh and gives me an excuse to find that clip on youtube. So the delivery is set for the end of the week. We moved everything from the freezer to the downstairs freezer. The only thing that got thrown ou...
