Today is Leap Day and I have one question for you: how are you going to spend the extra 24 hours you’ve been given?
*Bad joke alert
I know! You’re going to enter my giveaway for Jilz Gluten Free Crackers.
If you’re still reading, you’re a smart one, because you need to try Jilz.
About Jilz Gluten Free Crackerz
Jilz are paleo, gluten-free and vegan crackers that taste just like the “real things.” Except these are the real “real things” because they don’t have any additives or fillers….just simple, minimal and whole ingredients.
There are three flavors: Cracked Pepper + Sea Salt, Tuscan and Mediterranean
Filling a Snack Void
Jilz began when its founder, Jill, went on a quest to find a cracker suitable for her gluten-intolerant husband. When she didn’t find one without rice, corn, soy, dairy, wheat, sugar, grain or fillers she decided to create her own. Jill experimented with recipes until finding the perfect balance of “flavor, crisp and crunch.” She took matters into her own hands and is proof that if you want something that doesn’t exist, you can work hard and create it for yourself.
Cracker Snacking
You can (obviously) eat Jilz just like any cracker…with a dip, spread, snack plate, salad or straight out of the container. I wanted to make a simple dip with whole ingredients to pair well with the taste and theme of Jilz.
- 1 large white sweet potato (or color of your choice)
- 2 tbsp of tahini
- Juice of 1/2 of lemon
- 2 tsp of Dijon mustard
- 1 tsp of salt
- 1/2 tsp of turmeric
- 1/2 tsp of cayenne pepper
- Cook sweet potato by either microwaving until soft (~10 minutes) or baking at 400 degrees F for 45 min - 1 hour.
- Once potato has cooled enough to handle, remove skin.
- Add potato, tahini, lemon and Dijon mustard to a food processor and combine.
- Add spices and combine.
- Serve with crackers (I used Jilz Gluten Free Crackerz)
- Optional: refrigerate before serving.

Crackers are my weakness! I can polish off a box so fast and these would be no different, especially if I had hummus to dip them in! Thanks for the giveaway :-) have a great week!
Ellie recently posted…Week In Review: Finally Back to Strong Hearts!
I agree! A dip + crackers is a dangerously good combination. Same to you, Ellie!
OMG I don’t know what I am more excited about…the hummus recipe or the crackers?! I can’t decide. But I want to try both! So fingers crossed for the giveaway and I will have to make that hummus this week!!

WOAH NOW sweet potato hummus!? youza genius. I’ve never heard of these! Then again, when I was GF I explored so many brands that many hadn’t heard of haha. But they sound so yummy!!

If only these crackers were around when I first went GF. Rice crackers are’t awful but don’t compare to these!
Hummus is one of my favorite snacks, but I always forget about it! This makes me want it asap though. Pinned, tweeted, liked, and everything. :) Fingers crossed!

Sweet potato hummus? That’s a marriage of two of my favorites I must try!
Alyssa @ renaissancerunnergirl recently posted…February Recap
I want to make it with a different colored sweet potato next time! Purple or orange to change up the look of it :)
Ooooo! I think I’ve heard of Jilz before, but never tried them! Yay new GF find!
Rebecca @ Strength and Sunshine recently posted…Traditional Gluten-Free Irish Soda Bread
I LOVE new GF finds! Especially those that aren’t loaded with added sugar to make up for the lack of gluten in the taste. These are golden.
Ok hold up, this is the coolest hummus recipe I’ve seen in a long time! I love the vacation using a sweet potato. I MUST TRY!

Ah thank you so much, Chrissa! I’d love for you to give it a shot :)
I keep seeing these crackers everywhere! I need to try them. And sweet potato hummus?!? That sounds magical.
You’d love these crackers! So good with anything and the ingredients can’t be beat.
I love making homemade hummus, but have never made sweet potato – totally need to!
This was my first shot! I think it would be fun to make it with other vegetables too.
sweet potato hummus sounds fricken’ amazing! Can’t believe I haven’t had it yet!

Considering how much I love sweet potatoes I’m surprised it’s taken me this long!
This hummus looks SO good! What a great idea. I haven’t tried these crackers yet but they are speaking to my paleo soul!

Ellen @ My Uncommon Everyday recently posted…Good Timing
Thanks, Ellen! Anything with sweet potato and I’m sold.
Yum I’m excited for this hummus recipe. Now I’ve just gotta get through the tub in the fridge so I can try it out (shouldn’t be a problem haha.)
Megan recently posted…Change your life through prayer-Part 2
Haha we have a big tub in our fridge too. I’m not a big fan of the regular thing so I’m glad I have a good substitute now.
Sweet potato hummus??! YES please! Girl you’ve got two of my faves right there! SO yummy! :) Love it!

Sweet potato ANYTHING! Thanks, Cailee :)
That hummus sounds so good! What a creative idea!
sarah recently posted…A Five Things Survey
Thanks, Sarah! It would be really pretty with a purple sweet potato too :)
You know me and crackers (well, and carb type things in general). I had the best sweet potato hummus in Nola, actually. And that is saying something as I typically make my own, and it is very similar to yours! (thus I know yours is yummy!)

My dad even loved these crackers and went back for more on his own. Now I need to hide them and save them for me. EMILY DOESN’T SHARE FOOD ;)
Your Sweet Potato Hummus looks and sounds amazing! Never even heard of something like that!
Thanks, Sana! It’s easy to make too. I’ve also seen hummus made with zucchini and other vegetables!
This looks amazzinggggg! And those crackers sound delicious too!

okay so obviously the giveaway is closed, but i’m so happy you shared these crakers here! a lot of times companies will advertise that they are “clean” “healthier” or “don’t contain x, y, or z” but are still high in oil and other unwanted stuff.. so i was a bit *shocked* when i saw the ingredient list and it was awesome! i’m normally not a huge almond flour fan but if they are in a store near me i will try them!!
