Foodie Friday - Zesty Tomato and Red Pepper Crackers and Cheesy Sun Dried Tomato Dip

Wow, that title was a mouthful!! Here is todays Foodie Friday goodness:


Zesty Tomato and Red Pepper Crackers

These were really good and make incredible snacks, especially right out of the dehydrator when they are very crispy and warm. Mmmmmm!

The crackers were super easy to make. I blended up two ripe tomatoes with some vinegar and 2 red bell peppers. From that I got about 4 cups of liquid. I added 2 cups of whole flax seeds and let them sit until thick and gooey and then put them into the dehydrator to dry. In the past whenever I have made flax crackers I have always spread the batter really thin. This time I spread the batter thicker because I wanted to have a cracker that could hold toppings better. One that could even act as a bread of sorts. I must say that I prefer the thicker crackers to the thin ones that I used to make. The consistecny is good and it has a really nice crunch. These are such awesome snacks when you are really craving that crunch factor.


Cheesy Sun Dried Tomoto Dip

This dip was also very quick and easy to whip up. I soaked a couple handfuls of cashews over night with some sun dried tomatoes. The next day I blended them up with some vinegar, water, sea salt, cumin, nutritional yeast and other spices until my dip was smooth and creamy. It tasted really good with the crackers.

If you make these please let me know what you think!

I Love Raw!!
