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.

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...

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....

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!

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...
