crunchy snack
I think the think I miss most on LC is crunchy stuff. And don't tell me
about celery, I'm talking fried or toasted grain products here. My wife recently devised a great crunchy snack. She popped some cooked Dreamfields macaroni on a baking sheet, brushed them with olive oil and baked them until they were browned and toasty. Sprinkle with parmesan or any number of other things - one of the Mrs. Dash mixes, onion salt, lemon pepper, powdered white cheddar, you name it. Great crunchy snack.

Pepperonis nuked on a plate come out crisp, and I have heard that something
similar can be done with some cheeses. I have not tried baking or nuking cheeses to crispness. "Daniel Hoffmeister" wrote in message ... I think the think I miss most on LC is crunchy stuff.

Woo. Though if you can get ahold of some low-carb tortillas, you can do something similar to your macaroni, only it's perhaps a little easier. I don't care for it, myself, but to each his/her own. -- Nancy Howells (don't forget to switch it, and replace the to send mail). |
