Dehydrator to the rescue. Dried squash chips are quite satisfying. As are most other dried veggies. Vinny Re: I miss chewy/crunchy "dry" things like bread, pretzels, crackers a lot! +

Date: June 29, 2009 10:56PM Hmmm ... no dehydrator yet. Can it be done in the oven on a very low temp (forever, I'm guessing) : )
I just made the most kickin' marinara sauce on zucchini "pasta" Re: I miss chewy/crunchy "dry" things like bread, pretzels, crackers a lot! +

Date: June 30, 2009 06:40AM Sixxmum, you can make flax crackers with the oven set at lowest and the door open.
Snags: it means the oven can't be used by anyone else for a loong time (tricky if you have cooked family members). Also: difficult (well, not possible really) to ensure a uniform temperature and a max temperature (which shouldn't be higher than around 100 degrees F.) BUT - it's how many of us started before we had dehydrators, so...have a go, and make something crunchy! There's a recipe for Greek flax crackers on my blog (archives, last summer). In my first year of raw, I found a dehydrator very useful for taking care of the desire for bread/crunchy things. I use it rarely now, but certainly don't regret the investment - it made the 'transition' easier for me. Re: I miss chewy/crunchy "dry" things like bread, pretzels, crackers a lot! +

Date: June 30, 2009 12:49PM Thanks! Maybe I will start peeking around for an inexpensive dehydrator. I'm sure my spouse would love it if I buy another kitchen appliance. BAHAHAHAHA Re: I miss chewy/crunchy "dry" things like bread, pretzels, crackers a lot! +

Date: June 30, 2009 02:34PM If you get one try to get a dehydrator that has a temperature control that will adjust to low temperatures. Re: I miss chewy/crunchy "dry" things like bread, pretzels, crackers a lot! +
