I had to stop by whole foods on my way home last night, so I checked out the cost of the raincoast crisps - $7.99!!! for like 6oz, which probably translates loosely to about 40 crackers. can you believe that? no wonder I had a problem with the price...
maybe I'll have a raincoast crisp project where I try and rate all the recipes I can get my hands on? yummy! and yes, I did eat the rest of the loaf I'd baked up over the weekend for dinner last night. I had them with goat cheese. it was completely satisfying. people, try these things.

raincoast crisps
I nearly titled this entry, "raincoast crips." then I nearly laughed out loud. it's funny!
so, have you eaten these crackers yet?
have you purchased a box? I've eaten them as samples at whole foods, but haven't been able to cough up the ducats for the privilege of taking them home with me. I'm not very stingy when it comes to food, but really, I think I could eat the entire box in one sitting, and although I can't remember how much one costs, I know that I definitely balked at the price. but still, they're SO good. whenever they have them out at whole foods, I want to stand at the tray and just shovel them into my pockets (yes, I do resist that urge).
so, when the kitchen posted a diy recipe, I tried it immediately. I see now that there are others out there. I may have to try others as well!
but, back to the kitchen version (or actually, the Dinner With Julie version): it's great! one word of advice, if you have mini loaf pans, use them. I split the batter into four pans. you get a good sized crisp this way (narrow, rather than wide), plus, it's easy to bake one loaf and freeze three loaves, or bake two and freeze two, and so on. I love them with soft cheeses, especially goat cheese. oh yeah, and I subbed dried sour cherries for raisins, since that's what I had on hand (very delicious version). next time I'm thinking of trying a non-fruited version with sesame seeds. right, and another thing - I think the batter took about 5 minutes to put together. I didn't need a stand mixer either. it's a loose, quick bread batter, so it's easy to stir by hand. all in all, this recipe is a serious win-win.
