This cracker recipe is a gluten free, sure.   But even those of us who don’t suffer from a gluten intolerance could stand with a little variety in our diet.

About Paul R Martin

As a self defense teacher, one of the central ideas is taking charge of your choices in life - and a healthy diet and lifestyle is a logical part of that. When I started as the the unofficial cook for our family, my cooking was all jar sauces and frozen foods. Now, though, I have progressed to cooking whole foods and scratch as much as I can.

It's healthier and cheaper in most cases; as well as educational. We've even started vegetable gardening. Grinding our own flour/meals thanks to the Grain Mill Wagon Challenge is another way of increasing the whole food/healthy choices that our family has been moving towards over the years. Taking the Wondermill Challenge was just the inspiration to take the next step toward healthy that I was looking for. I have a deeper appreciation of where the food I put on our table comes from. I have a better sense of how blessed I am to live in the modern world but also a lot of respect for those historical relatives who had to do so much more to put good food on the table. And, though I am blessed to live in a modern world, I also see the dangers of leaning too much on 'convenience' over quality.
