We are heading into another renovation. Why, you might ask? Well, it’s been 12 years since the last one and things need to get done. Obviously, we’ve chosen another contractor, with whom we shall have a better relationship, hopefully. It really doesn’t take much: honesty and communication. That’s all we ask. Don’t leave us hanging and for damn sure, don’t lie to us. We have been hung out and lied to and to be honest, it’s difficult to get over. But I’m going in with a positive attitude.
We are adding a master ensuite and walk in closet to our bedroom, and we are updating the main bathroom. We will move into the basement guest suite to remain in the house while the work is getting done. The dreaded demolition starts April 9.
I tell you this because we have been entertaining like mad, knowing that the next few months will be chaos and dust. So I’ve been cooking like crazy and gearing up blog posts so I don’t skip a beat. My best friend and her picky-eater- hubby came by for brunch so I made these tasty crackers. Needless to say, hubby passed on them.
Gluten-free, Low Carb, Herbed, Olive Oil Crackers
Makes about 33 crackers
Ingredients:
- 100 g almond flour
- 20 g coconut flour
- 20 g psyllium husk
- 5 g salt
- 30 mL Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 egg
- A good pinch of thyme leaves
- A good pinch of rosemary
- A good pinch of dehydrated onion and garlic, ground into a powder
Directions:
- Pre-heat the oven to 350°F (175° C).
- Using the metal blades in your food processor, add all the ingredients and pulse until entirely combined and resemble small peas.
- Pour onto a large sheet of parchment paper and push toward the centre. Lay another piece of parchment on top. Roll out between two pieces of parchment to about 0.5 mm (1/16″) thick.
- Cut into shapes using a pizza wheel and a kitchen ruler. (I cut small triangles that were about the size of chips).
- Bake for 10-12 minutes or until they begin to get a golden tone. Allow to cool completely on a wire rack. They will firm up as they cool.
- Store in an airtight container.
- Serve with your favourite dip or cheese.
Notes:
- This is a modification of this earlier recipe.
- The crackers have good body and are sturdy enough to hold dip or cheese.
- I used dried herbs because it’s still winter here and my herb garden is still hibernating!
- We were just in Spain and of course, I purchased some wonderful olive oil. This is the one I used for this recipe.
- Feel free to flavour with your favourite herbs or spices.
Wishing you all the best with this renovation. You are an educated consumer this time so you will know what to look for throughout the entire job.

Eva, first of all the crackers sound absolutely delicious! Secondly, you’ve reminded me how much I loved you renovation blog! I discovered it quite late (years after it was finished) but I loved it! I know you’d have preferred it to go smoothly but your anger and dark humour made the blog really amazingly dynamic! Of course, I don’t wish you a similar experience next time!

Good look with the renovation!
Was it the picky eater that you made these gluten free for?
Last year I made pulled lamb instead of pulled pork for a group because one of them was Muslim, and the she didn’t have the pulled lamb anyway.

Oh how exciting about the reno! hope you love the results. Sending all the good vibes for it to go as smoothly as possible and without too much interference in the kitchen (hah!). It looks like these crackers turned out great Eva – you managed to get them so smooth. Primo ingredients and I bet they’re super tasty too (favorite line: “Needless to say, hubby passed on them” I literally cracked up).
