For The Love Of Crackers

[Amanda 3.0 140]

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.

[Wheetsin 714]

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)
