Go to the dark side. this is a web site set up in NZ by NZer's for NZers. It is a recipe site and general support site for those of us who are low carbers. I am not allowed to give you the name of the site or even provide you with a link because of Trade Me rules. If we do post a link the thread is either removed, we get warned or even barred for a period of time so you will have to find it yourself.
But if you are interested you could try searching low carb cooking nz and see what comes up. The recipes are brilliant.
Edited to say that you can find recipes under headings so there will be one just for snacks. It is easier to find recipes in that format than finding them all over the place here.

melt cheese in microwave... it bubbles up and cooks and looks like a brandy snap before you roll it... . then spread it with no salt peanut butter

ferita's actually not far wrong ;)
One of the snacks recommended in the low carb/no carb thread is a 'cheese sandwich' - two thick slices of cheese put together with a slab of butter!

But that's not crunchy ferita. You didn't read the question properly.

So? No-one's forcing you to eat it! Sounds a lot better than tofu surprise!

Roll it in extra-crunchy peanut butter!

Ha ha Ellie! It's an in joke in our house. Maybe you could dream up a recipe?

Ohhh - ellie - I thought you wouldn't post in "those threads" - what happened?

For you? ? Pork Brawn:Take one pig's head, cut off snout, clean out ears...
That's our in-joke - it's the actual first line of a recipe and never fails to amuse, in a macabre sort of way.

Whatever gave you that idea? ? I have read several Atkins books - I have something to contribute.
What I DID say was that I would not post in the Low Carb/No Carb People support thread, and I haven't! I'll retire from the MB if you can find one post from me in the the 8000 odd posts there ;)

Yummy combo ferita - although I prefer a block of lard covered in butter.

you're on fire elliehen - loving the humor in this thread!
to #1 - salami, nuts, cheese, LC crackers made from almonds & cheese, eggs (oh yes, most LC'ers love their eggs! ), cold sliced meats + anything else over at the dark side.

ha ha I see there has been a lot of ideas flowing since I've left the mb yesterday, especially salivating at the thoughtthe butter & lard combo. Could you tell me how long to boil pigs head? Promise to try them all.

I'll hunt out the book, not currently one I use! But the recipe is probably over on that 'other side'... it gets darker... singe off bristles etc
If you're still looking for a CRUNCHY snack why not stuff a chunk of celery stick with either peanut butter or cream cheese?

blend together equal weights of cheddar cheese & ground almonds until it resembles playdoh when squished together. Roll into small balls & flatten on a lined tray. bake @180deg until dark golden brown. Allow to cool. Good with a slice of 'good' cheese & a thin slice of tomato! ---or just by themselves. Can add seasoned salts/herbs/chilli etc for different flavours. Even cut the almond down by half and sub with ground flax - still tastes good - just 'nuttier'.

Immmm singed bristles
OK I looked in Foodtown for coconut/almond flour- not expecting to find it- & surprise , surprise they didn't have any. Could anyone tell me where to find this. Thanks
