Gluten Free Brown Rice Crackers

 

Whenever, I get my period I want saltines and ginger ale to calm my cramps. Since starting on a gluten and nightshade free diet, I wanted an alternative when that time of the month came again. I had leftover brown rice in the fridge, so I thought I would make my own rice crackers. Shameer picked up some ginger kombucha from Whole Foods, which I drank instead of ginger ale.

Easy Candied Almonds

Unfortunately, this recipe turned out too good. This snack was seriously addicting. Whether you are craving sugar or salt or fat, this has it all. I intended this to be a healthier (not healthy) snack for the movies, or a unprocessed dessert after dinner, but I found myself snacking on this all the time. Did I mention I love to snack? Plus, it was ridiculously easy to make a ton in a short amount of time.
