Low Carb Italian, Chinese and Mexican Recipe Roundup!

As you can tell by glancing at this month's menu, my crock pot will be getting a workout!  February kicked off my half marathon training and I just barely had the time let alone energy to make dinner every night or even every other night.  Not good for me as an athlete because if dinner wasn't ready after a run then I was tempted to grab something quick and easy, and not necessarily healthy just to refuel my body.

I don't have a link for my corned beef recipe because, well, it's in my head.  It's the same one I've been using for years and I don't know measurements and such plus it is not quite low-carb.  But what are holidays if not a good time to cheat (with limits)?

Low Carb Baked Cheese Crackers

Today I am going to share with you how to make crackers from cheese.  

Yes, cheese.

It is really simple and if you are new to being low-carb you will be so happy you learned to make these especially when you are craving a snack.

All you need are several slices of deli cheese like Swiss, cheddar or pepper jack.  I usually buy a cheap party tray of cheese and use those.  The trick is to get hard cheese.  American cheese will likely just burn.  No, it will burn.  Trust me on that one.

Now get your parchment paper (NOT WAX PAPER) and cookie sheet out and set your oven temp to 400 degrees F.    Spread your cheese out on the parchment paper leaving about an inch between each one.  Then toss it in the oven for 10 minutes, allow to cool and voila!  You have homemade cheese crackers!  

You can also add a little Mexican flair to these by sprinkling them with cumin powder or adding in jalapeño peppers before you bake them.  Yum.
