whole-wheat quinoa crackers

Last week my neighbor, Tushar, invited me downstairs for wine, cheese, and a screening of the Real Housewives of New York in Morocco, otherwise known as "Lessons on Behavior to Avoid: Overseas Edition." After a night of truffled brie, goat cheese, and involved discussions on how to avoid becoming boozy harpies when we hit 40, I really wanted a repeat (of the meal, not the campy reality show). I headed to the cheese section of Central Market to pick up some brie, but realized when I got home that I forgot the crackers. Solution? Make your own crackers! This was way easier than I thought.

whole-wheat quinoa crackers:

1.5 c whole wheat flour
.5 c cooked quinoa 
.5 tsp baking soda
.5 c water
drizzle of olive oil
pinch o salt

Pulse in food processor until dough forms. Roll out until super thin (I used a tortilla press). Cut crackers with a pizza cutter or sharp knife. Transfer to wax paper on a baking sheet. Bake at 400 for 30 min. They will crisp up as they cool.
