Bread Crackers

The bread "cracker" thing happened because there are few crackers out there that are healthy, low carb and don't feel and taste like cardboard. Use as you would a regular cracker.

1. One loaf of your favorite healthy, tasty, low carb bread.
2. Toast slices and cut in quarters.
3. Dry between paper toweling for about two days.
4. Place in container (don't cover 'til you are sure there is no moisture left in bread).

Cheese Blintzes (cheese-filled pancakes)

Yields 16

Ingredients:
3 eggs
3/4 tsp salt
1 c milk or water
1 c flour
1 lb pot cheese
3-4 tbsp sugar (use splenda equiv)
dash of cinnamon

Procedure:
1. Beat 2 of the eggs slightly; then add 1/2 tsp salt and the liquid.
2. Add flour to make a smooth, thin batter.
3. Heat a 6 inch frying pan that is lightly greased (or Pammed)
4. Pour in a thin covering (about 2 tbsp)- just enough to cover the bottom of the pan.
5. Tilt pan from side to side to distribute evenly. Cook over moderate heat until the edges curl.
6. Turn out on a clean cloth or paper towel, fried side up.
7. Keep covered until all the pancakes are cooked.
8. To fill, mix together the cheese, sugar, cinnamon, 1/4 tsp salt and remaining egg.
9. Place 1 heaping tbsp of filling in center of each "pancake" and then fold over 3 sides, tucking in the 4th side to make an envelope.
10. When all leaves are filled, fry in hot butter or margarine using a heavy frying pan, turning to brown on all sides, and taking care not to scorch the butter OR FOR A HEALTHIER ALTERNATIVE: If you would prefer, blintzes once filled can be baked on a greased or pammed baking sheet in a moderate 350 degree oven for 15-20 minutes, brushing well with melted butter before and during baking.
11. Serve with a dollop of sour cream.

Stew about 6 boneless/skinless chicken breasts and shred after cool

In a large pot saute' in about
1 T. extra virgin olive oil
1 large sweet onion chopped fine
1 green, yellow, or red bell pepper chopped fine (can use all three for really colorful chili)
1 clove garlic chopped fine

After softened add:
2 cans diced tomatoes
2 cans Hunt's Seasoned Diced Tomato sauce for Chili
1/4 cup worcestershire sauce
1 heaping tsp cinnamon
1 tsp chili powder (I use Hot Mexican Chili Powder)

Bring above to a boil and reduce somewhat then add:
Shredded cooked chicken
1 can white kidney or Great Northern beans
1 can dark kidney beans
1 can black beans

Simmer 2-3 hours.

I figured the calories, fiber and fat in this myself and it figured out to be (hopefully I'm pretty close on this!):
148 cal/cup
4.3 g. fiber/cup
1 g. fat/cup

(It is really good with cornbread or cornbread crackers.)
