Hope you all enjoyed a fun night of costumes and candy last night. Or maybe you eschew trick-or-treating and did a harvest festival instead? Either way, I hope you are enjoying a little more sugar than usual today! 

The weather here in New Mexico has turned decidedly chillier this week...we still have a wonderful blue sky overhead, but I've been digging out the down jackets and knit caps for me and my little ones.

Have you ever wanted to try making your own homemade crackers? I have...but for some reason, I always thought it would be very difficult.

Well, let me just tell you...it's not! I whipped up a batch of these gluten-free rosemary crackers in less than half an hour. 

The crackers have a great crunch (as any good cracker should) and a nice flavorful kick of rosemary. Eat it plain or with a soft cheese spread. The adults of the house will love it...and so will the little ones! Whether you eat gluten-free or not, these rosemary crackers will come in handy for all your upcoming holiday parties.

In a medium bowl, whisk together olive oil and egg

Stir wet ingredients into almond flour mixture until thoroughly combined
