Well hey now and happy Monday. A special ‘hey now’ to the 70+ peeps who are going low glycemic eating with me this week. How did your breakfast go? My change from oatmeal was delightful.Lets make some walnut Crackers then.
Though I will be addressing many issues pertaining to low glycemic eating and will finally tackle the old artificial sweetener is poison issue, and the white food devils, I am also keeping the recipes coming and this low glycemic cracker recipe is my absolute favourite. It is sweet, salty, crispy and amazing. I feel like it is as if a graham cracker met up with a vegetable thin, made friends with some walnuts, made a little love in the kitchen and spawned this cracker.
Crackers are one of those craving foods.Read the Peanut butter Rice cryspy treats. They are crispy, they are salty, they work wonders as serving vessel for our fave spreadable and most are filled with crap. Check the ingredient label of your everyday supermarket type cracker and you are likely to find things like hydrogenated and/or partially hydrogenated oils, shortening and oodles caboodles of the big bad kind of salt.
As I had a full weekend of cooking, I am keeping this one short and going straight to el recipado. Give these goodies a go. There is something so impressive about serving someone, especially yourself, crackers that you made from scratch. I think home made crackers are up there with making your owr ketchup and sauerkraut like it’s so 1825-chic.
