Thanks Doug, why didn't I think of cutting and pasting?  I think the reviews are worth reading though, gives people some more ideas.

I guess its  a personal preference - I've eaten all mine already!

Hi shihtzumom, I do have the Renee's light caesar dressing, love that.
I just thought I'd try something different - I'm not a fan of Walden farms at all.
Thanks!

Wow Scott, thanks so much, that's just great

No Beebs, I don't believe you would, they were very very easy

Agreed ShihtzuMom.  I'll look for that, but I can't recall seeing it.  Thanks for the tip.

Yep, they did Jo.
I took mine out of the oven as the time was up and they were brown, and I needed the oven, but as I said to Tony, read the reviews on the page, there's some hints - ie something about leaving them in there and turning the oven off and they are even crunchier?

Downeast, I'm not sure where in Canada you are, but I'm in Ontario.  I am not close to the low carb store in Markham, but have ordered them online - they are fantastic!

I sent them an email about something and I got talking with the girl there and when I said I wished the store was closer (I'm in Brantford), she told me my local Nutrition House is stocking some of their stuff - kind of like an outlet.  I went there yesterday and they do have quite a good range.  Try doing that and see if they can tell you where there is a store closer to you.  They are very, very helpful.

Having said that, I was thinking of making "pita crisps", like I used to in the bad old days, using the low carb tortilla's instead.  I used to brush them with a mixture of olive oil and crushed garlic and toast on one side, flip it over and sprinkle some shredded parmesan on the one side and cook again.  They were so good, I couldn't keep up with the demand (from my kids!).

Try that, they are yummy - in fact, I'm going to do that myself!

I have no idea either! Grrrrrr

The sauce itself was lovely, however I put it in the oven to bake and it kind of liquified, so another lesson learnt!

I guess the good thing is though, because it was kind of "runny", I didn't have much of the cream.....lol

It was still delicious, but now I know, I won't do that again!

You must have chubby toes then!

Hahaha we've all been there!

I just made this sauce....but now have just realised that the cream I had is 1 carb per 15 mls.....yikes, I'm now adding up the unfortunate carb cost!

Why on earth does Canada have no carb heavy cream?

No worries Tony - we've had a recipe exchange today - I've got your cheese sauce on my cauli/broccoli casserole in the oven as we speak!

OMG if you can stop at one or two of those things - you're doing good!

I found it helpful to read the reviews at the end of the article for different ideas, they are SOOOOO GOOD!

I'm a cheese snack lover - so I'm going to be making these regularly!

That website is very good, take some time to look around it
