Personal Notes:
In short, I recently posted on my Facebook about a mental health day poster. “It said that Eeyore was clinically depressed but his friends never expected him to be happy. They just love him the way he is, they never ask him to change, and they never leave him behind but include him.” Needless to say, I think this is a fabulous statement. In a word, let’s just love each other the way we are. You will not be left behind and we will always want you to feel included. It is indeed, my hope that you will find your “Hundred Acre Woods Posse”. By the way, I hope that you will feel accepted and loved for who you are just the way you are. You are amazing and I am glad you are here.
My brother passed away a day ago. If you are reading my blog, I thank you. I need some time to grieve. I will be taking a pause. Thank you for your kindness, understanding, and for following my blog.
Gluten-Free Cheese Crackers
I really like dips and crackers. Indeed, they are a perfect and inexpensive party snack. Incidentally, I have been craving cheese crackers. Not to mention, I used this recipe to make Southern Chicken Fried Pork Chops. As a result, the cheese in the crackers really adds flavor to the pork chops. In all honesty, these crackers will make great snacks or appetizers. Hence, the paprika gives these crackers a pretty yellowish-orange color creating a color similar to the crackers on the shelf. Needless to say, if you desire a lighter cracker color use a lighter cheese such as parmesan or Irish Dubliner. If you desire a yellowish-looking cracker use cheddar.
Furthermore, these crackers darken in color and the sides can turn up slightly when they are done. In conclusion, adding a different cheese will change the flavor of the cracker making this recipe so versatile.

Shredding Cheese:
Most importantly, keep in mind that the finer you shred cheese the easier it is to incorporate. Consequently, you will be able to see the cheese in the cracker if using a course shred. It will result in a cracker with visible cheese. Nevertheless, if you would like to create a store-bought look to the cheese cracker simply create two holes in the top with a skewer.
