My favorite crunchy - Hormel turkey pepperoni' date=' microwave on a paper plate it until it's thoroughly cooked (it will stop sizzling and darken), but not burnt. While still hot, blot the grease off the top. Let cool. They get VERY crunchy - crunchier than chips. I like to eat them as scoops for cottage cheese or some garden vegetable cream cheese spread.

Eeww! This sounds great too!

I was just coming here to post about my new love of crackers, and I saw this thread. I love, LOVE, a nice cracker. I am hooked on the Doctor Kracker pumpkin seed cheddar "crispbreads". I try to have one for lunch. Just one fills me up and they are so crunchy. They are big, >4" x 3". 5g Protein, 100 calories, 4g Fiber. OMG, the crunch.

I am not trying to advertise them, in fact I am looking for a recipe to make them myself. They are kind of pricy, but would be even more expensive if my family found out how good they are. They would eat a whole box in a day or two. For me, they last at least a week.

I think they are safe from my husband for now, as the picture on the box shows the pumpkin seeds on top, and he is probably frightened of those. lol

I am loving all of these suggestions. Crunchy, salty foods are my downfall and what I crave. Sweets, I could never eat another one a day in my life and be just fine. But, I am always craving something crunchy and salty. Now, off to microwave some pepperroni.

Sounds good. I like Wasa lite rye crispbreads/ Where do you get the Dr. Kracker? they sound good.

I don't crave the sweets anymore either, but I still love looking at pictures of Desserts on cooking sites. It's food porn! At least the pictures don't have calories!

I have seen Dr. Kracker at several stores. The store I shop at most of the time stocks them in the in-store bakery section, but one would think they would be near the crackers. They aren't, in my regular store anyway.

I eat the Doctor Kracker cracker plain, dry. I don't know what one would put on top. So for me, they are a lunch in themselves. Maybe with some tomato Soup, they would go well.

I like the Wasa multigrain but they definitely need a little something with them, like some turkey and a Laughing Cow wedge.

I got some rosemary crackers at costco last week. They have the most satisfying light sprinkling of sea salt, in addition to the rosemary. A Laughing Cow is optional on those, but again, just one cracker is lunch.

This is me to a tee. Can't wait to be off this postop diet to try some if this.

I bought 2 boxes of the Dr. Kracker Pumpkin Seed Crisps today while at Whole Foods. They are crunchy and taste OK, but really don't have alot of taste to me. But they are OK and tomorrow I will try them with some Laughing Cow. I ate two in the car on the way home since I didn't have lunch yet, so i didn't have anything to put on them. They were pricy though; 4.99 a box at Whole Foods. I personally think that store is a ripoff. I don't go there much, but I jsu happened to be near there today. See my post titled No Carb Bread Julian Bakery for my other experience today!
