If you ask us, the MVP of any great hors d’oeuvres spread is the humble cracker. Portable, crunchy, and lightly salted, crackers are just the best. And Simple Mills Sprouted Seed Crackers might just be the best of the best. Every box (and everything else Simple Mills makes) is made with real ingredients you can pronounce and nothing artificial ever. Plus, the crackers are the perfect size for topping and dipping.

Because we believe in recipes that check all the boxes (good for you, delicious, pretty, and simple), we partnered with Simple Mills to create four appetizers using this delish finger-food base. Each recipe can be made in less than 30 minutes, is Paleo-friendly, and tastes as good as it looks. Serve these up at your next party and watch them disappear.
