Do you mean flax seed crackers? If so, I have made these ones many times and they are good.

Topic: x-post: Who wants waffles?
I missed waffles a LOT after surgery. I love breakfast, so I wanted to find a way to have them every once in awhile. After a little experimentation, here's what finally tasted awesome:
Ingredients
-1/4 cup plus 2 tbsp. whole wheat pastry flour
-1/4 cup graham flour (If you can't find it, you can just use more whole wheat.)
-1/4 cup soy flour
-2 tbsp. wheat or oat bran
-1/2 tsp. salt
-1/2 tsp. cinnamon
-1 tsp. baking powder
-1/4 cup unsweetened applesauce
-3 tsp. palm sugar or 1 tsp. raw honey
-1/2 cup non fat greek style yogurt
-2 tbsp. low fat milk
-2 egg whites
-1 tsp. vanilla extract
-Pinch cream of tartar
-1/2 oz. chopped pecans
Method
Combine the egg whites, a pinch of salt, and cream of tartar in a blender and process until doubled in volume (about a minute).
Add the applesauce, vanilla, milk, yogurt, and honey and process until smooth.
In a separate bowl sift the flours and bran together with the baking powder and 1/2 tsp. of salt. Then add the dry ingredients to the blender and process until well combined. Stir in the chopped nuts.
Cook in a waffle iron according to the manufacturer's directions.
Makes 5 tasty waffles at 130 calories, 3g fat, 16g carbs, 7.5g protein, and 3g fiber each. My waffle iron makes squares (I guess about the size of a frozen waffle, but thicker). These are really filling and I can usually only eat 2, so freeze the leftovers and just pop them in the toaster for a few minutes to crisp back up. If this is a post weight lifting meal, I skip the 2nd waffle altogether and have some scrambled eggs for more protein.

Turkey Quinoa Meatloaf!! It is fabulous!
IngredientsNutritional Information
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup quinoa
- 1/2 cup water
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 small onion, chopped
- 1 large clove garlic, chopped
- 1 (20 ounce) package ground turkey
- 1 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon hot pepper sauce
- 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 egg
- 1 1/2 teaspoons salt
- 1 teaspoon ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 1 teaspoon water
Directions
- Bring the quinoa and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender, and the water has been absorbed, about 15 to 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- Preheat an oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
- Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat. Stir in the onion; cook and stir until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook for another minute; remove from heat to cool.
- Stir the turkey, cooked quinoa, onions, tomato paste, hot sauce, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire, egg, salt, and pepper in a large bowl until well combined. The mixture will be very moist. Shape into a loaf on a foil lined baking sheet. Combine the brown sugar, 2 teaspoons Worcestershire, and 1 teaspoon water in a small bowl. Rub the paste over the top of the meatloaf.
- Bake in the preheated oven until no longer pink in the center, about 50 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 160 degrees F (70 degrees C). Let the meatloaf cool for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.

Topic: RE: Anyone familiar with Quark and know of any recipes for it?
You can use it as a subtitute for Paneer in Indian Curries.
Then there is a German "Cook Cheese" (Koch Kaese)
Of course, it can substitute for Ricotta in things like Manicotti or Lasagne

yep. Me too. I found many many...but not my favorite. I'm going to go thru all the cookbooks and see if I stuck it in there when we moved. If I find it....I'll share. Thanks
Topic: RE: Lost that recipe
I don't have the recipe but used the search engine on this page and came up with 336 hits. Maybe you could find it by adding more to the search criteria. I used flax seed biscuits.
