I love to cook and bake, so most times I don't mind--and usually enjoy the challenge of--making my own Paleo versions of "regular" foods. And Paleo is catching on (and in some places, like California, it's almost mainstream), so it's pretty easy to find Paleo recipes for virtually anything (even chocolate croissants --pain au chocolat-- which, someday, I'm going to tackle, and you will be the first to know.
But, sometimes, you just want to open a package and eat. Case in point: Crackers. I've baked my own, and they were delicious, but, seriously, when you just want to spread a little Paleo cream cheese (see "Got (Coconut) Milk?" post ) on a cracker, you don't want to have to bake the crackers first. And, if you're making them in the dehydrator (as I have done, and they are super), you'd have to wait about two days for that snack. So, I was thrilled to find Livin' Spoonful's Caraway Crisps at my local food co-op recently. They're raw, vegan, gluten-free and Paleo-friendly and they are delicious!
Ingredients are sprouted sunflower seeds, celery, flax seeds, dates, sea salt, caraway seeds and coriander seeds. They also come in other flavors like sourdough, garden herb, pesto, pizza and curry, and they make cookies too (the ginger snaps rock!). For more information, go to www.livinspoonful.com. Since cookies and crackers are not an everyday part of a Paleo regime, but an occasional treat, these readymade goodies still qualify as healthy, as long as you don't make a steady diet of them.
