Here is one for the Dehydrator...These run anywhere from $50-$250...I got mine at Bed, Bath, and Beyond with one of those 20% off coupons for under $50. They are great if you want to incorporate more raw foods in your diet.

This recipe is from the Ph Miracle Alkalarian Diet Cookbook (Something similar to a Vegan). I would recommend the purchase of it if you like these types of recipes. You can get it on amazon and it ranges from $13-$25. The photos are a little cheesy, but the recipes are great. I actually was set up with Dr. Young's son (before I met my husband) and had a chance to visit the Avocado ranch. They are very nice people and have some interesting views on health. I highly recommend the cookbooks.

RAWSOME REDFORD PIZZA (crackers)
By Shelley Redford Young of Ph Miracle Diet
100% raw pizza cracker

Ingredients:
½ cup ground flax seeds
1 cup water to cover ground flax seeds
1 cup soaked raw almonds
2 cups soaked raw sunflower seeds
1 cup raw buckwheat ground
½ cup ground deluxe veggie blend (Jaffe Bros blend of dehydrated cubed carrots, onions, tomatoes, celery, parsley, green pas, and green bell peppers--$13 for 2 lbs)
1 lemon, juiced
1 glove garlic
4 Tbs Olive Oil
1 Tb of Sea Salt
2 Tbs Spice Hunter Italian Pizza Seasoning
1 Tbs. Spice Hunter Garlic Herb Bread Seasoning
¼-½ cup water to adjust consistency before spreading on dehydrator sheet.

Grind flax seeds to powder and place in bowl with water. Enough to cover over flax powder. Stir ground flax seeds into water and let thicken while you work on the rest of the crust ingredients. Set aside.
Rinse and Drain soaked seeds and nuts and add them to your Cuisinart (food processor) with all the remaining ingredients. Mix well until you have a smooth thick paste.
Pour the mixture out onto plastic sheet-lined trays for the dehydrator and pat or spatula the mix evenly.
Dehydrate for 4-5 hours and 90-95 degrees, and then cut into smaller squares and transfer to the mesh lined trays for continued drying until crisp (4 more hours) or let crackers continue drying through the night and break the finished pieces up into small pieces in the morning. If done right, these can last up to a month in an air-tight container.
