Several years ago, I found a cracker I could eat without a whole lot of guilt — multi-grain, tasty, and no HFCS.

Notice, in particular the square shape.  They were perforated squares and came with two sleeves of squares in the box.  I would add 4 or 5 squares into my Supper Salad, which formed my evening meal fouir or five nights a week.

The store didn’t have these in stock for several weeks and I was beginning to despair for my Supper Salad crackers.  I was elated to find them back on the shelf last weekend, and they were marked down so I got two boxes just to be sure I’d have enough to last a while.

I was SOOOO disappointed to discover that instead of two sleeves of square crackers, there are now three sleeves of half-square crackers.   They aren’t as crunchy, don’t taste the same, and the ingredients now include HFCS.   Dammit.

Soo…..

I am now exploring recipes to make my own crackers.   I already regularly buy bread flour, so now I suppose will have to also buy all-purpose flour, and whole-wheat flour.  And baking sheets.  And other cracker-making supplies.   🙂

I have this supply of crackers on hand so I won’t start making my own right away.   But when I do I will at least know  what I’m eating.  😀
