Snacky Night with Mary's Organic Crackers

On Sunday evening Christopher and I had a snacky dinner in the living room, with some new flavours of Mary's Organic Crackers.



We buy Mary's crackers quite often but had only tried the regular ones.  The people at Mary's Gone Crackers sent me some new flavours to try, and I was especially excited about the seaweed and black sesame ones!


I thought these would pair really well with an edamame dip that I've made many times before.

The herb crackers and the thin sea salt ones were great with a cheesy dip, and Christopher also loved them with his stinky blue cheese.


We haven't opened the jalapeno crackers yet, but we're thinking of pairing them with a Monterey jack cheese, and some jalapeno sausage that we found in our corner grocery store.

I really like how crunchy and seedy Mary's Organic Crackers are.  They are gluten-free, vegan, and non-GMO, and made with ingredients I both recognize, and have used before.

Around this time of year, sometimes an easy, snacky dinner is just what the doctor ordered. 

Have you ever had Mary's Organic Crackers?  
What kind of crackers do you usually buy?

Full disclosure: The crackers were provided to me free of charge.  All opinions are my own.

Tapas Long Weekend

You might think we ate nothing but beets this past weekend, but aside from breakfast, we actually planned a whole tapas weekend!

We had a lot of fun experimenting with new recipes, and cooking little snacks.  We had a three day weekend, so there was plenty of time to cook and eat, while still doing a lot of relaxing.


On Saturday afternoon we sat outside and enjoyed the spread above.  That evening we went to see Bill Burr's stand-up comedy show, which we thought was just okay.

Sunday's snacks included garlic, parsley mushrooms:


Andalusian almond meatballs (which were excellent):


And radish butter with bread:


We loosely followed the recipes in the links.


On Monday our tapas included grilled eggplant pouches, filled with tomato, basil, and mozzarella:


Crispy, smoky potatoes:


And rosemary beef skewers with a garlic, herb yogurt dip:


A bit of sourdough bread with oil and vinegar too!


Overall, it was a very tasty, and relaxing long weekend.  We were also productive, and got all of our flowers and herbs/veggies planted.

 

Christopher fixed the lawnmower, which wouldn't start ...

Annnnnd, I made a Saskatoon berry crumble for our desserts.


Was this past weekend a long weekend for you?  
How did you spend it?

I know my blogger friend Lisa got married - Congratulations Lisa and Phil!

It's almost the weekend again.  Any big plans?
