Blue Cheese Crackers

Blue Cheese Crackers are like super fancy, dust-free cheez-its. The cracker dough is studded with flavorful blue cheese. They will make your cheese board extra awesome.

I'm in complete denial that another year is coming to an end. I don't know how to handle it, so I'm just going to ignore it. It's too late to worry about all the books I didn't read, all the movies I didn't watch, or all the recipes I didn't try. Once again I spent too much time sleeping and not enough time exploring. Too much time working and not enough time living. Even so, it was an awesome year, and I'm ready to celebrate it.

The chances of me getting an invitation to a party that requires high heels and a sparkly dress. It's much more likely that I'll be at home in bare feet and yoga pants, but I would never let that stop me from eating some fancy food if I can. To me, it doesn't get any better than a beautiful cheese plate.

And while there certainly is an art to assembling a perfect cheese plate, it always feels a bit like cheating to me since I don't have to cook anything. If you want to add a homemade element to your cheese plate, try making your own homemade Blue Cheese Crackers. It's almost too easy.

These crackers are flaky, buttery, and flavorful, but not overly strong. There's a hint of blue cheese, and they taste great all by themselves or loaded up with some other stars of your cheese plate. The dough comes together quickly and rolls out smoothly. I cut mine into squares with a pizza cutter, but you could make whatever shapes you like.

Here's to an awesome year, and to more adventures to come. May it be filled with good friends, good wine, good food, and Blue Cheese Crackers.
