Anyone else love crackers?

I haven't started back on bread (and don't plan to), except for a tiny crust crumb here and there, but I do love my crackers.

I am not going overboard, or bingeing on crackers, but I like to have a cracker at lunch time or in the afternoon. I usually have about 100 calories of cracker a day.

My absolute favorites are the Dr. Krackers.

I like the Wasa with some turkey and Laughing Cow.

I got some rosemary and sea salt crackers at costco.

I bought some spicy saltine-looking things that were made in the grocery deli, but they were oily so the husband ate them.

Just about anything whole grain with seeds.

I am on the search for cracker recipes to make at home in small batches.

I love crackers and they settle my stomach - I buy Stoned wheat thins - they are small and three at a time fills me up.

Agreed, I have huge acid reflux problems and crackers are my salvation for instant relief, lol. Plus, I just love them.

Just love crackers and cheese or hot peppers. Always when dieting or trying to reduce food levels these would be my treat. Saltines rock!

I'm a cracker-a-aholic! I love my crackers and it's something I have really missed. My pre-op diet was 30g of carb or less so I havent had crackers in a long time. I'm on pureed now and was told I could eat a cracker as long as I turned it to mush in my mouth. I need to start with a saltine cause those seem very easy to "mush".

I have begun to replace the crisp of a cracker with dried edamame, soy nuts, kelp and such - I also found acracker made from pressing hard aged cheddar and baking the fat out of it...7 g protien!

Gosh, I love crackers, but I'm not eating them right now because I am limiting my carbs and it has helped me continue losing. I had a few long stalls already....I love reduced fat wheat thins and reduced fat triscuit with Laughing Cow cheese spread or tuna salad....

I will probably return to them when I am closer to goal...but for now I think I am better off without them!

Five weeks post surgery, I was allowed to try adding a cracker to my Soup. I was so excited for that cracker. Best saltine EVER! lol

I put it in my tomato soup and let it soften, and it went down fine.

I don't buy the Triscuits anymore. My husband will eat the whole box in one sitting as a snack. And he is a mostly "normal" sized guy. He is seeing the error of his ways lately, though. So he says! lol

Curious about the pressed aged cheddar cracker? Is this mass marketed or a local product? Sounds delish!

My favorites are Wasa (sourdough & sesame, don't care much for the other flavors)... a cracker called "Flatbread Crisps" in the sea salt & olive oil flavor... and I cn admit I love Cheez-Its and a DIY cheeze-it knock off I make at home.

I like Triscuts but am not yet willing to try them with my sleeve.

That's about it for crackers.

Oh you can also buy (or make yourself) "crackers" made from a baked parmesan mixture. They're really good. When I was doing Atkins I made them and while they were still hot I would fold them over a foil form -- homemade cheese taco shells. You can also buy the crackers at Whole Foods, and some other places I'm sure (though I've not seen anything like them at Trader Joe's).

I am not really a big cracker fan, but one of my favorite snacks pre-sleeve was "thin crisps" (triscuits, but thin). I would get the flavored ones and then I would dip them in cottage cheese. YUMMY! I don't like cottage cheese plain, and i don't like the flavored crackers alone... but together it was delicious!

I am sure I have had the "Flatbread Crisps" but I don't recall where I got them.

Do you not find Cheez-Its to be a slider?

I am trying to steer towards the whole grain crackers, and I really want to make my own. I need to google that. I have a Pasta maker that would probably be better used making cracker dough.

I love Kellogs Multi grain fiber crackers. They are getting hard to find. I get them at K Mart, of all places. They aren't all that bad, carb wise either. I love to eat a few with a Babybell cheese (Light)

I googled recipe for high Protein crackers and found this which might be helpful to you:

You can use any cracker recipe and replace up to 1/3rd of the flour called for with your choice of soy isolate, bean powder etc.

As an example a standard cracker recipe would use 2 cups flour, 1/2 tsp salt, 2 tsps yeast and enough Water to make a dough suitable for rolling thin.

You could replace 2/3rd cup of the flour with soy isolate or any bean powder, cornmeal, oatmeal, amaranth etc.

Replace the water with veggie juices also if you like.

Just get creative and go NUTS with experimenting! That's what makes baking fun<G>.

Oh, roll the dough thin! A Pasta roller is handy but a rolling pin works fine. To get an even roll wrap rubber bands around either end of the pin, when the band hits the work surface you're ready to cut crackers. A pizza wheel works quite well,as to ravioli wheels or any sharp kitchen knife. You can get round crackers by pressing a glass rim into the thin sheet of dough.

Bake at 350-500 until the cracker barely starts to brown. Cool on wire racks to insure crispness.
