Painting apparently is so much more time-consuming than I remember. Of course maybe that’s because we have few additional rooms we didn’t have before (hopefully, I’ll have lot’s of pics to post soon). Our garage is home to boxes and furniture, someday my car will have his own bedroom. Until then, here are some projects I would like to create once we’re moved in enough. A few of these have been on my to-do list for quite some time…

In My Oven:
Homemade Goldfish Crackers look so delicious and a fun project for Pumpkin and me. I already have a cookie cutter shaped like a fish, so I don’t need to make her homemade cut soda can version (yikes!)

Copycat Outback bread recipe, with homemade butter of course.

And these Scallops in Lemon Beurre Blanc Sauce.

Under My Needle
These cute throw pillows have been on my to-do list since they were posted! They add some great texture, although I’d want them to be a bit more washable and would use fleece instead of felt.

I’ve also had a soft spot for this hedgehog softie, I may have already linked to him.

In My Garden:
Super cute antique spoon plant markers with flare!

Landscaping is a far way off, but I can’t wait to make these classic stepping stones.

Savory Sunday – Cracker Recipe

cracker, crackers, dough, recipe, savory, snack

Around afternoon snack time I had a bowl of hummus, carrots and celery. I wanted crackers with it and there were none in the pantry.
Solution? Make my own.

Wheat Crackers

Ingredients:
1 c. flour, 1/4 c. wheat germ, 1/2 tsp. salt (plus additional for topping), 1/2 tsp. paprika, 1/4 tsp. garlic powder, 1/2 c. water, 1/2 Tbsp. dark brown sugar, 4 Tbsp. butter

Directions:
Preheat oven 400°F. Combine all ingredients in a food processor. Make sure sides are scrapped and dough is throughly mixed. Roll out on a floured surface until about 1/16″. Use lattice pastry cutter to cut crackers. I used 1 1/2″ spacers with wavy edges. Allow dough to sit for 10 minutes. Place crackers on a baking tray, sprinkle salt on top and bake for 7 minutes or until crispy.

I was floored when Hubster had nothing but great reviews after hesitantly trying my crackers. He said the crackers were really tasty, even better than Wheat Thins from the store. As he grabbed another handful, he continued saying that there’s no bad after taste like with other wheat crackers. I’m glad this was a winner for Hubster as well as me.

*This would be really great with 1 Tbsp. rosemary mixed into the dough.

What is your favorite thing to eat with crackers?
