I'd like to introduce you to my leetle frien's!

I've been making these tasty crunchy Protein packed crackers for 20 years and over time I forget about 'em. Then I remember them. And I fall in love all over again.

This is about as processed as it gets--today I'm choosing to believe in "better living through chemistry". But that's a moving target with me...

The crackers are nothing more or less than 2% Deli Deluxe cheese (either Kraft or your store brand, but it really needs to be 2% so it puffs more) cooked on parchment paper (not waxed paper) in the microwave in 15-25 second intervals. Open the door between each interval and check them for doneness. They are done with they start to brown and hold their puffed shape. They will crisp more as they cool.

Nuke the whole thing for a crunchy bread-size cracker. Fold into 4 pieces for saltine size crackers. Or fold into 16 tiny squares for cheeze it sized crackers.

I fill them with PB2 (Vitacost brand) reconstituted Peanut Butter. I just had 2 sandwiches of the tiny crackers with a teaspoon of the low fat peanut butter and I'm satisfied. Mr. F. is gonna be 2 more hours and I am starving! Lemme know what you think!

These are awesome with egg salad, tuna/chicken/salmon salad or with meats or even hummus.

For the entire cracker (19g raw):

For 1 saltine sized cracker (4.75g raw):

For 2 cheezitz size crackers (2.375g)

For 1 cheezitz size cracker:

One of the few benefits of eating alone in a hotel room. No one to think you’re a weirdo when you only eat the roasted outer leaves off the brussel sprouts, and leave the under cooked centers behind.

Omg! I totally do the same thing to roasted sprouts!

In fact, when I have the time and patience, I will make my own and pre-shred them as much as possible and spray olive oil and then liberally sprinkle on sea salt. Goodness I love the crunchy little outside layers!

I used to cut them in half before roasting so no one had an excuse to dislike them 😂

They sell pre-shredded brussel sprouts at Trader Joe's. I may have to experiment with those one day.
