Re: Corn Crisps where are you?
Sorry, Ginny,
Cornmeal isn't LDL friendly. It's too processed. A few years ago, several people experimented with cornmeal recipes and found they gained weight or their weight loss stalled. Also, the recipe contains butter, which we don't use.
Corn Thins are a completely different creature...not like a tortilla, more like a rice cake (but no rice, of course.) You can read about them at www.cornthins.com but here's the basic idea: They take field corn and popcorn, add a little salt and a tiny bit of oil and compress it in a very hot mold. The heat makes the corns pop and expand to fill the mold and the result is a shaped patty that's light and crunchy. Thus it's really just a legal as eating popcorn and sweet corn. They make great dippers and platforms for sandwich fillings. Some people use them for burger buns.
Your recipe looks like it would be interesting to taste, but it's not LDL legal.
Maybe I should set up a new business: Just deposit $5 in my Paypal account and I'll send you 10 corn thins! Try them for yourself and then order a case from Amazon. Heck...it might pay for my new fruit habit

Re: Corn Crisps where are you?
Thank you, thank you. I am sooooooooooo glad I asked before trying it. I am going to www.cornthins.com and read up. This morning will be my first official day for LDL. I started a journal so when I get to "Skinny Town", I will be able to go back and read about my adventure on how I got there.
