Flax and Sesame Crackers
Ingredients:
1 cup ground flax seeds
1/4 cup psyllium husk powder
1/4 cup unhulled black sesame seeds
1/4 cup coarsely chopped raw unsalted pumpkin seeds
3/4 cup water, more if needed (up to 1 cup)
1 Tbsp garlic powder
1 Tbsp onion powder
Instructions:
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
Mix all ingredients in a mixing bowl until a dough forms, adding more water if needed.
Line a heavy baking pan (jellyroll sized) with parchment paper. Place the ball of dough on the parchment paper. Cover with another piece of parchment paper.
Use a rolling pin and/or your hands to spread out the dough evenly (or as evenly as possible). I actually remove the parchment paper dough *sandwich* from the pan and work on it on the countertop and then return it to the pan. If your parchment paper fits when you return it to the pan you’ll be fine.
Score into squares with a table knife, so they break evenly after baking.
Bake until crisp. I bake for 60 minutes at 250 and check each hour after that. As they get more dry, I break them into large pieces (and you’ll see they really are not ready), keep checking every half hour or so until they are very crisp. It will depend on your oven---be sure to watch them—this is just a guideline for how my oven works.
Remove from oven and place on cooling racks. If you leave them on the baking dish you can get moisture accumulation under the parchment paper.
Makes about 16 crackers according to the original recipe. I prefer to make much smaller pieces so I can feel like I can have a couple of them.
Per the Original Instructions—Nutritional Info--Per Serving:
CALORIES 139; PROTEIN 6g; CARBOHYDRATES 6g; TOTAL FAT 11.1g; SATURATED FAT 1.4g; SODIUM 6mg; FIBER 4.7g; BETA-CAROTENE 16ug; CALCIUM 83mg; IRON 2.5mg; FOLATE 21ug; MAGNESIUM 109mg; ZINC 1.5mg; SELENIUM 4.3ug
Note: A variety of seasonings can be substituted for or used in addition to the onion and garlic powder. Try fresh or dried herbs, chili powder, nutritional yeast, Dr. Fuhrman's MatoZest, cinnamon, chopped dates or raisins.

Something to think about
I think it's important to mention that it is the carbohydrate that fuels the body therefore athletes need to consume healthy complex carbs for optimum performance as per sports and exercise nutrition courses. Also of note, protein comes from plants, not animals. Animals contain protein only because they ate plants or ate an animal that ate plants. Animals are not capable of synthesizing protein to meet their needs. Plants however are capable of synthesizing protein to meet their own needs and animal's needs as well.

1 1/2 lb ground turkey. (More or less, use chicken if you want)
I chopped onion
I can tomato sauce
1 can tomatoes
I can tomatillos drained and quartered
1 can black beans, rinsed
1 can low sodium chicken broth. (You can use water if you want)
Cumin
Garlic powder or 2 cloves minced fresh garlic
Sage
1/2 teaspoon chili powder
Juice of one lime
Brown the meat with onions before adding to the instant pot,
Put all in the instant pot, stir, place lid on and lock into place, press the button for poultry and in about 15 to 20 minutes, dinner is ready! Make sure the little white arrow thing on top is pointing down. It will turn off automatically when finished but it keeps things warm for a long time. You can open the pot while still hot if you push the little arrow to the side to let the steam out. Use a pot holder if you do this...hot steam comes out. It will not let you open it if there is still steam on the inside. Safety measure!
Salt to taste if you are using any these days.
Mine tastes different each time I make it, depending on what I have on hand.

Best wishes Marie!! I went quite a while without a second inner pot as I didn't tend to use my IP that heavily but then I went kinda crazy with it and I got a second inner pot, a glass lid (for using it as a slow cooker), an extra silicon ring and a wire mesh basket that I had my handyman cut the handles off of so I could easily steam veggies and remove them from the pot rather than using the little rack with handles. I hear there is an actual IP basket in the works and when they come out with that, I will get one!
Enjoy those black-eyed-peas.

I know I will be better off without them.

Oh Marie, I didn't know you were doing Forks Over Knives. I like that DVD and watch it again from time to time wherever I can see it for free. I posted tonight on the main Sneaker thread about a great movie---Plantpure nation. Very interesting if you have an opportunity to see it. I even checked to see if there are any 'pods' around here for people who eat that way but there are not. I eat stricter than even that and of course need to be gluten free etc. So I guess my plan is a plan for one!!
Best wishes. I hope you are recovering from your cold. Did that little something ever show up at your house?? Just want to make sure she really sent it to you!!!
Time to go and cough again.
