Beautiful Kazy Kracker Lady Chips!

I'm not the Krazy Kracker Lady. I'm the Krazy-about Kracker's Lady! I love great-tasting crackers. Why make any other kind? I LOVE the texture and the flavors of Abeba's dehydrator recipes.

I found this recipe better for summer because of the abundance of fresh tomatoes. I also like that I can get really light thin "chips." I used this recipe as the coating for cauliflower, zucchini slices, baby brocholi and batter for wraps. AND, best of best of all: Onion Rings! YUM!

Abeba’s Crunchy BBQ Chips

1 1/2 cup clean-source water
2 carrots (with or without tops)
2 tomatoes
2-3 dates (soaked for 30 mins)
3/4 tsp chili powder
1 celery stalk (strings removed)
1/2 cup sundried tomatoes (soaked 30 mins)
dash of cayenne pepper
nama shoyu sauce or celtic salt to taste
2/3 cup flax seeds (soaked over night)

Put all ingredients in blender except the flax seeds. Blend well and check taste. Then add flax seeds, blend well again. Mixture should be slimy and a little thick, but runny like pancake batter.

Drop by spoonfuls on Teflex sheet. Dehydrate for 10-12 hours at 105 degrees. Flip krackers and remove sheet. Continue dehydrating 8-10 hours or until desired crispness is obtained.

Yields 4-5 trays or approximately 100-200 krackers.

Lucky Living Green and Gold Seed Crackers: Magically Delicious!

What makes them green?

Special Spirulina!

What so special about spirulina? It's great for vegans and vegetarians and everybody because it is a natural organic whole food that is high in the very nutrients that are hard to come by in modern cement-land, including: potassium, all of the B vitamins, magnesium, zinc and iron, 18 vital amino acids, beta carotene and lutein. It's has a rich "meaty" flavor.

Limited quantities can be purchased from Val for $1.50 per ounce (4 oz. minimum). First-come-first serve. I'm taking orders for "Magically Delicious Lucky Green and Gold Crackers" to be delivered the week of St. Patrick's Day. Call 816-364-6922.

Or

See the "basic cracker recipe" posted to make your own! Just add spirulina to 1/2 the batch prior to dehydrating. You will need to be a "seed sprouter" and have a dehydrater with a temp setting at 105 degrees.

We will have organic spirulina available for purchase at our next Trader St. Joe's distribution nite. I'l keep you posted!

Lucky Green Crackers - Magically Delicious!

Live Vibe: Sprouted Seed & Coconut Crackers

Super Easy Basic Living Seed Crackers

Organic Ingredients:

• 4 cup golden flax seed (dry measure), soaked and sprouted over-night to two days.
• 1 TBS Himalayan pink salt or other high-quality unprocessed salt
• 4 cups of macaroon coconut (soaked for an hour in 2 cups of clean source water)
• 3 TBS raw honey or organic clover honey
• 1/2 cup sprouted pumpkin seeds, soaked overnight in Namu Shoyu, Optional
• Add pretty and tasty herbs or dried flowers if you have them! (I like Safflower petals. they keep their bright color and add a slight saffron flavor)

Instructions: Wash, then soak flax seeds overnight or up to 3 days in cool location, adding water to cover as needed. Do not rinse after soaking. You need the gelatinous goo to hold the crackers together.

When ready to make the crackers, get a REALLY BIG BOWL. It helps if you soak the coconut in a really big bowel and then you can add all the other ingredients to it.

add pumpkin seeds and herbs, if using.

Mix everything up. Pour onto teflex sheets, dehydrate at 105 degrees overnight. Flip once, if needed.

Cyndi's Crackers!

Cyndi James requested these custom crackers for her Juice Plus distributor's holiday gathering. I hope you got to keep a few crumbs! They sure went fast!

Sunny Coconut Crackers

Organic Ingredients:

• 1 cup golden flax seed (dry measure)
• 4-inch piece of dried seaweed of choice
• 1 TBS coarse ground salt or other high-quality unprocessed salt
• 4 cups large coconut flakes
• or 2 1/2 cups of macaroon coconut
• 3 TBS raw honey
• 1/2 cup sprouted pumpkin seeds (soaked overnight in Namu Shoyu)
• Fresh ground nut meg to taste
• Juice of two Valencia oranges
• Additional clean-source water (4 to 5 cups)
• Herbs and seasonings : rosemerry, safflowers, pressed garlic, chopped Katabala olives, pits removed, and red onions to taste.

Instructions: Wash, then soak flax seeds overnight. Do not rinse after soaking. You need the gelatinous goo to hold the crackers together. (For crisper crackers, soak seeds 2 nights. Then, sun sprout 15 minutes to 3 hours on the 3^rd day.) Add water to the flax seeds daily to cover.

Grind coconut and seaweed in a coffee grinder or spice mill, one cup at a time. Add to the flax goo.

If needed soften honey. Stir raw honey, salt, fresh squeezed juice and nutmeg into the coconut flax mixture. (See, it’s not a “goo” any more! Now, it’s “a mixture.”)

Let stand 10 minutes or overnight. Add more clean-source water as needed.

Pour onto teflex sheets, dehydrate at 105 degrees overnight. Flip once, if needed.

Variations and additions: For fun, add a cup or two of soaked pumpkin seeds and/ or sunflower seeds to the mix. Make a batch with mint, oregano, rosemary or other winter herbs. Use orange zest or grated ginger in one tray of crackers to see what you think. Add 4 saffron threads and soaking water on special occasions. Adding a cup of nutritional yeast flakes and 1 TBs of turmeric make “cheddar” flavored crackers. Add peppery things or oniony things! Add chopped olives! Add chopped or dried fruits! Yum! Add nuts and nut oils. Have fun. Make crackers!
