Almond Crackers
By scottsdalejulie
none
- I've never made a bad cracker, except the ones I didn't microwave long enough.
- to I see no need to get fancier than half and half almond meal and water, plus salt. pour it thinly in a silicone pan and microwave till crisp. slice with a sharp knife pretty much immediately after popping it out of the pan.

- Ptireland, this is a no-bean chili that won lst prize in the Parade Magazine's contest a few years back, selected over 14,000 entires. Yup, it's true. SO I made it for a chili cookoff contest at work, WON FIRST PRIZE and renamed it.

- 2 cans (14oz) peeled whole tomatoes undrained
- 2 cans (14 oz beef broth
- 1 C chopped cilantro

- 3 bay leaves
- 2 green jalapenos slit lengthwise, 3 times each
- 1 tbs yellow cornmeal
- salt & pepper to taste
- Garnishes for topping: grated cheddar/sour cream
- 1 . Oil in big pot, med heat. Brown sirloin in batches, remove. Add ground beef & chorizo and onions to brown, return sirloin to the port.

- LC Bisquits
- I made a small batch as a test but it could easily be doubled.
- 1 cup Carbquik
- 1/4 cup Resistant Wheat Starch
- 1/4 cup wheat protein isolate 5000
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1 1/2 teaspoon DiabetiSweet (or granular erythritol/splenda mix)
- 2 tablespoons softened butter
- 3/4 cup heavy cream
- In a mixing bowl, combine ingredients until the dough forms a ball. Turn onto a flour dusted surface.(I used WPI) Fold the dough in half and knead a half a dozen times adding enough flour to keep dough from sticking to your hands.
- Carefully roll the dough out to 1/2 inch thick. Then with a 3 inch flour coated cutter, cut dough into bisquits.
- Place on a cooking spray coated baking sheet leaving an inch in between each bisquit.
- Bake in a 500 degree oven for 10 minutes or until golden brown.
- Made 5 bisquits at 2.5 carbs each.
- They were wonderful with butter and sf blackberry jam on them.
