Amanda 3.0 140 Posted June 21, 2012 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. 2 LadyIvy and PEvette reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
janerose 109 Posted June 21, 2012 I love crackers and they settle my stomach - I buy Stoned wheat thins - they are small and three at a time fills me up. 2 Amanda 3.0 and PEvette reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
*susan* 1,709 Posted June 21, 2012 Agreed, I have huge acid reflux problems and crackers are my salvation for instant relief, lol. Plus, I just love them. 1 Amanda 3.0 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ForMyfamily 84 Posted June 21, 2012 Just love crackers and cheese or hot peppers. Always when dieting or trying to reduce food levels these would be my treat. Saltines rock! 2 PEvette and Amanda 3.0 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
karenb4729 309 Posted June 21, 2012 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". 1 Amanda 3.0 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pookeyism 1,143 Posted June 21, 2012 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! 2 Janedeaux3 and Amanda 3.0 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Katie713 423 Posted June 21, 2012 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! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Amanda 3.0 140 Posted June 21, 2012 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Janedeaux3 70 Posted June 21, 2012 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! Curious about the pressed aged cheddar cracker? Is this mass marketed or a local product? Sounds delish! 1 Amanda 3.0 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheetsin 714 Posted June 21, 2012 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. 1 Amanda 3.0 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheetsin 714 Posted June 21, 2012 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). 1 Amanda 3.0 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
emily_0192010 168 Posted June 21, 2012 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! 1 Amanda 3.0 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. 1 Sharon's last chance reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oregondaisy 2,021 Posted June 22, 2012 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) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
