Homemade Vegan Goldfish Crackers

Just wanted to share my own take on this wonderful recipe. So I didn't use Vegan butter, but I used coconut oil, I wouldn't mind making the vegan version but I'm not even sure our local stores have vegan butter haha...

Here is the recipe, and here's Chloe's link to her awesome pro-vegan and vegetarian website:

Ingredients

1. 1 cup whole wheat flour, plus extra for dusting work surface.
2. 2 tablespoons nutritional yeast.
3. 1/4 teaspoon onion powder.
4. 1/8 teaspoon turmeric.
5. 1 teaspoon sea salt.
6. 1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper.
7. 5 tablespoons vegan butter.
8. 4 tablespoons cold water.

Preheat oven to 375 F and bake about 12 to 15 minutes

So I added some extra seasonings to mine but that was just a personal preference, I added a little cayenne. haha I'm a spicy freak! But everyone I had try them loved them and one of my friends came over and her and her boyfriend loved them. Went well with Chili soup. Also I didn't have time to order or create a goldfisher cutter, so I used a dolphin and butterfly. I found with my dough that if it dried out as I was rolling it or dusting with flour, I just added some of the cold water and sort of re-kneaded it in to soften it up some then rolled it out again.

I loved Chloe's website and her take on these crackers, because I used to eat so many goldfish crackers a couple years ago for snacks and I knew they weren't that great for you, but I loved them, of course since then I've been wanting to do something healthier and I just really love these!!

I want to try my own pretzels soon to, the crunchy ones, not the soft ones....

First Entry~

So first post, eva~

and it's December 31, I can hardly believe it, it's so strange to be saying goodbye to this year and hello to a new one, I can't wait actually, it's just high time this year be gone...
So....a little about me.

 

There are sooo many blogs about people's lives, I feel like a cheap copycat for even making this, so no one has to "follow" me or anything, this is kind of more for myself ig, I'm not in a very good place right now, mentally, one minute, I'm fine the next I want to kill everyone.
So, I decided to post some of my issues, but also my victories and goals, just write about them to let it out and make it better, I hope, I've always been very interested in health, exercise etc, and this is manly a blog for those goals, but it includes other things~

Definitely they'll be some thinspiration and stuff, but in more of a healthy way, I hope. The thing is, the way I live and what I eat, it works for me, but I don't want it to make other people upset/restrict etc, it's just the way I am, I don't really look at it like restricting anyway, because I'm like this I guess..

I'm a very active person, I have horses, love the outdoors and I'm out a lot exercising, walking, running, out with horses etc...I dance a lot and go to tae kwon do, fairly often.
I'll be posting a list of a couple things I want to get done in the new year, at some point. A  resolution list I guess.
and I want to do a looking back on the year list, inspired from the amazing Izzy at http://living-with-anorexia.blogspot.com/ ......
