Topic: RE: LOW CARB FLAT BREAD RECIPE
 I ran across this on lowcarbfriends.com and it's a little different with the addition of a little splenda and  a dash of salt. I haven't tried them yet, but plan to this weekend! 

3 large eggs
1 pkg Splenda
dash of salt
pinch of cream of tartar
3 ounces cream cheese (not Tbsp!) Do not soften!

Preheat oven to 300 degrees.

Separate the eggs and add Splenda, salt, and cream cheese to the yolks. Use a mixer to combine the ingredients together. In a separate bowl, whip egg whites and cream of tartar until stiff (if you're using the same mixer, mix the whites first and then the yolk mixture). Using a spatula, gradually fold the egg yolk mixture into the white mixture, being careful not to break down the whites. Spray a cookie sheet with non-stick spray and spoon the mixture onto the sheet, making 6 mounds. Flatten each mound slightly.

Bake about 30 minutes (You want them slightly softer, not crumbly). Let cool on the sheet for a few minutes, and then remove to a rack and allow them to cool. Store them in a bread sack or a ziplock bag to keep them from drying out.

Makes 6@ about 85 calories a piece, >1 carb per serving

I have the last laugh in my house.  I'm within close proximity to goal (25 lbs to go with plastic surgery done on 3/3 to remove 15-20 lbs of excess skin),  Yet now,  my doctor calls me skinny and tells my husband that he has to lose weight.

I keep reading about y'all and your deep-fried pork rinds.  Well ... I don't eat pork!  And I've been dying dying DYING for a salty crunchy snack that was sort of cracker-ey soooooooo

I found these wedged somewhere towards the back of my freezer.  If you slightly over-cook them (without burning) in the microwave, they make jim-dandy crackers!!!!





Two slices of vegetarian "bacon" has only one net carb, whoo hoooooooooooooo!  And tasty, too, if you have no idea what real bacon tastes like!


(Otherwise, not so sure)

 Too hard to hide the bodies!

Though I bet they could be rendered into tasty low-carb snacks!
