Seaweed Crackers with Avocado Dip (or Dressing)

Seaweed Crackers with Avocado Dip (or Dressing)

Our friend Spencre at Gingertooth put together this absolute dream of a recipe for us that takes a new twist on crackers-and-dip. It's no secret that seaweed belongs in crackers and we love the pairing with a creamy, rich dip like her Creamy Avo Dip. If you need a green dressing for rice bowls, salad, or veggie dish, this dip can be thinned out with water to make a scrumptious salad dressing. Creamy Avo Dip 1 tablespoon Spicy Seaweed Flakes 1 ripe avocado ½ cup full fat yogurt or sour cream 1 teaspoon paprika (smoked or unsmoked) 1 teaspoon lemon...

Seaweed Pasta

Seaweed Pasta

In full disclosure, I haven't made pasta very many times in my life. But my husband just received his great-grandmother's pasta maker. His great-grandmother was born in Italy and came to the United States, eventually landing in Pennsylvania. I don't know much more (yet!) about the history of this particular pasta maker, but it has been an inspiration to start making fresh pasta. I think making pasta is much easier if you have a stand mixer. We don't. So we kneaded it by hand, which took a long time and constantly had me questioning if we were doing this right....

Seaweed Snack Mix

Seaweed Snack Mix

This snack mix doesn't need too much of an introduction -- it should come with a warning though: it is seriously addicting. Something about the combination of sweet, salty, and crunchy makes this a snack mix that will satisfy and keep you coming back for more! This recipe can be made with lots of substitutions or alterations: use any nut if you don't have cashews, or use maple syrup instead of honey. Ingredients 1 ½ cup of cashews ¼ cup of sesame seeds 1 tablespoon olive oil  2 tablespoons of honey*  1 teaspoon rice wine vinegar  1 teaspoon turmeric  1...
