Cracker of choice

Crackers are delicious but many are filled with hydrogenated oils, white flour, artificial colors and/or MSG. I have looked at labels on a lot of the grocery store crackers and have been surprised to find what's in them. Even the expensive "whole wheat" crackers aren't all that great. They usually aren't 100% whole wheat, the first ingredient is usually "white flour" or disguised as "wheat flour" but if it doesn't say "whole wheat" then it's white flour. Once in a while I'll eat some of these crackers at parties, but you most likely won't find them in my pantry.

Do you want to know my cracker of choice? Triscuits! They're the classic cracker that have been around since the 1900's. They're 100% whole wheat, and they're pretty affordable. Triscuits are on sale this week at most grocery stores because of the Thanksgiving holiday and you can get a coupon here. (I'd stick with the original or reduced fat varieties, most of the others triscuit varieties have MSG or colors in the ingredients.)
