\"Healthy<\/a>

Healthy Entertaining<\/p><\/div>\n

“It’s the holiday season, with the whoop-dee-do and hickory dock and don’t forget to hang up your sock…” is the song that runs through my head constantly during this time of year.\u00a0 Yeah, I’m a sucker for holiday music.\u00a0 Old school only please.<\/p>\n

With the holidays comes entertaining and social gatherings where there is food and if you’re lucky, drinks are involved.\u00a0 It’s cocktail parties instead of sit down dinners.\u00a0 Eggnog instead of a cold brew.\u00a0 If you are the host of such a party this year and are looking for a different type of cracker so that you can avoid the same old tired Ritz crackers (sorry Ritz, you had a good run), Kashi has your answer.<\/p>\n

They have a new line of entertaining crackers out that I had to try because I am in love with Kashi crackers.\u00a0 And also because the box had that nice little “New!” stamp on it which pulls me in every time.\u00a0 A very quick way to my heart and to ensure my devotion to you is to present me with a plate of cheeses and crackers.\u00a0 Oh sure most girls like chocolates and yeah that’s okay.\u00a0 But cheese and crackers and I will adore you.\u00a0 If you also give me wine then things could turn crazy.<\/p>\n

Because of my obsession with cheese and crackers, you can see why I had to try these out.\u00a0 And I have no shame in telling you that they impressed me as soon as I took them out of the box because they were huge and size matters<\/p>\n

\"Wow!\"<\/a>

Wow!<\/p><\/div>\n

While I may have small hands, they are not abnormally teeny.\u00a0 Just typical chick small.\u00a0 As you can see by the picture, one cracker takes up the whole palm of my hand!\u00a0 That’s a big cracker, holy cow!<\/p>\n

What you see is the Roasted Garlic and Thyme flavored variety.\u00a0 Garlic is my lifeforce, so I had to try these first.\u00a0 I had the crackers straight up and in short, they are awesome.\u00a0 Very light and crunchy with a huge amount of flavor to them.\u00a0 The flavor isn’t overwhelming and would pair nicely with just about anything.<\/p>\n

These crackers are perfect for entertaining because they are a larger cracker.\u00a0 That may sound weird but they are the perfect size for cocktail and appetizer type foods.\u00a0 You could make these into anything.\u00a0 Small fancied up mini-pizzas?\u00a0 Sure!\u00a0\u00a0 Chi-chi brie and cranberry sauce appetizers?\u00a0 Certainly!\u00a0 Or you can serve these straight up and allow your guests to top them however they like.<\/p>\n

Sometimes when the crackers are smaller, you feel like you’re loading up if you have more than three.\u00a0 Or maybe that’s just me.\u00a0 With the bigger size of these, two is plenty and depending on what you use for toppings, can be a very filling snack or first course.<\/p>\n

If you are looking for a different kind of entertaining cracker or just a different cracker to have on hand, give these a try.\u00a0 Plus you can feel better about eating them since they are made with whole grains!<\/p>\n

Kashi has three different flavors<\/a> of these crackers that you can try.\u00a0 I know that I will be picking up more!<\/p>\n

Happy healthy entertaining guys!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
