I discovered Cracklebred a year ago and it is the best gluten free cracker I have found thus far. These glorious rectangles come in two gluten free varieties: original and sun dried tomato with oregano. YUM! At only 17 calories per slice you can’t feel guilty about indulging in these light and crunchy delights. Dip them in hummus or eat with a slice of your favorite soy cheese.
There are endless possibilities.
For a sinless snack, I make mini Cracklebred pizzas. Top with your favorite pasta sauce and cheese then pop in the toaster oven just long enough to make the cheese melt.
Cracklebred is also a great substitute for breadcrumbs. Throw a couple of slices into the food processor or simply crush them with your hands. I’ve used them to make stuffed mushrooms and they added the flavor without being heavy like bread.
The only downfall is that Cracklebred is sometimes hard to find. Hopefully this problem will soon be resolved as Natural Nectars, the company that produces Cracklebred, claims to be improving distribution. For now, your best bet is the cracker isle in your local health food store or the health food section in a chain grocery store. I have yet to find them in Trader Joe's or Whole Foods but I'm keeping my fingers crossed.

Cracklebread is delicious!!!! That stuffed mushroom we made with Cracklebread was absolutely amazing! Normally, I would use bread crumbs, but with your great idea Kim, it was so much better! And it's great that we finally found it at that cute market in Harvard Square!
