.....................I do! And this week was one of them. One of those weeks when I needed a few simple tricks (and treats) to get me through. Like these Olive Oil & Herb Flatbread Crackers. They caught my eye a few months ago in Martha Stewart Living magazine. You won't believe how simple and delicious they are. Bookmark this recipe - next time you're having a crazy week and you need a delicious snack or a gourmet appetizer cracker, pull this delicious magic trick out of your bag - you'll be so happy with yourself and no one will know it took only a few minutes and cost infinitely less that the fancy crackers they resemble!

This recipe will make quite a few crackers - you can give your neighbors a lovely gift or cut the recipe in half if you don't need so many.
This is lovely, and kosher, too! And I imagine you can change the herbs around, too! I will have to try it, already have the olive oil and herbs.

Would like to do something we do not do here in Sweden :)
These crispy crackers would be perfect with summer salads instead of bread when I'm trying to trim calories, and I love that they are so quick and easy to make.
