A dear friend of mine owns a green general store in downtown Cincinnati. In addition to the eco-friendly household goods, bulk supplies, and awesome coffee, Park + Vine stocks healthy, delicious snacks and treats. It was there that I first discovered my favorite crackers: Mary's Gone Crackers. Crispy, crunchy, full of whole-grain, gluten-free goodness, these crackers are delicious and nutritious. Mary's recently shipped us a variety of products, many of which were new even to me. These were a huge hit in the SparkPeople office! While the crackers (especially the black pepper variety) will always be a go-to snack for me, the pretzel-like Sticks and Twigs in the curry flavor are my new favorite. Dipped in salsa or hummus, they're a great afternoon snack that really satisfies my crunchy cravings. Good news: Mary's is giving away five gift packs (Crackers and Sticks and Twigs in the flavor of your choice) to lucky readers!

The story behind the crackers: For years Mary Waldner suffered from intense digestive pain and debilitating fatigue. More than a decade ago, she finally discovered that her battle was due to intolerance to gluten, a protein found in wheat, barley, rye and most oats. One out of 133 people suffer from the condition, known as Celiac Disease. In addition, she found out her son Jacob also suffered from Celiac Disease, and became passionate about finding nutritious food choices that they could enjoy. Most options available lacked flavor and were often full of hydrogenated fats and other chemical additives. She began to experiment with her own favorite recipes, giving birth to Mary’s Gone Crackers. In addition to fellow Celiac Disease sufferers, the crackers became a hit with those looking for a delicious and nutritious snack that satisfies.
