I just don't like how everything you buy has hydrogenated oils and high fructose corn syrup and all the other stuff we can't even pronounce.

I ran across these homemade graham crackers, actually when Maria at Two Peas and Their Pod (how cute and talented is she!) Posted them back in November of last year.
