Hungry Norie's Raw Nik-Naks 1

Since I got my dehydrator, I've been making all sorts of stuffs. It actually never really stopped.
And I enjoy eating ones I made, recently my friend Sylvia tidied up her kitchen cupboard, and gave me some foods. Including, her own flaxeed crackers. She told me she wasn't eating that kind of foods, so time to get rid of something she didn't need. Well, If she wants to get rid of her dehydrator (she has 9 trays with timer), I defo wouldn't mind having it at all, now my 4 tray excaliber is becoming a tiny bit small for me, I need a bigger one. But this one does for now. 

Well, Since my trip to France made me think how I eat. I ate a huge ice cream dessert, and I had stomachache after, that same happened when I was at work. My shoulder and neck were so stiff, my foot hurting, snore really loud! etc...
I think it's now time to go abstinent from cakes again. It was long relapse. But hey, I can anytime quit and start again.

It's been 10 days since I've gone abstinent, and feeling not bad. I've been making my savoury and sweet(not very much) nik-naks, and I'm ok with it.
Basically, I haven't been eating: dairy, wheat, and sugar. I took them out from my diet, and if I don't make nik-naks myself, there's not a lot to eat. I even cut down on dried fruits (naked bars!), due to high sugar contents and they are acidic.
Instead, I increased flaxeed intake and I have a question. "do flaxeeds make me go to toilet lots?"
I certainly need to google this question, I keep going to the toilet, but it's a good thing I think.
Buckwheat and chocolate crumbles
I soaked buckwheat(very cheap!) and sprouted, mixed with: pureed prunes, raw cacao powder, hemp, chopped cashew nuts, coffee extract and palm syrup. Then dehydrated till crunchy. I love them. They have texture and flavour. Yum Yum, I seem to satisfy nibbling them when I fancy something "sweet". I suppose, buckwheat helps to balance out  blood sugar levels...?
Flaxeed and seaweed crackers
This is my favo nik-naks. I had some soaked flaxeed left, so I made them. It has: mixed flaxeed, chia seeds, hemp, mixed seaweed, salt, nutritional yeast, tamari and pepper. Simple. I dehydrated till crispy and crunchy. 
They are only a part of what I've been making/experimenting. Upload more later!
