As crisp as they begin, crackers will attract
moisture over time and get soggy. But you
can easily re-crisp them. Photo courtesy

But we soon found a solution:

1. Put the crackers in the microwave on a paper towel. Don’t overlap.

2. Microwave them for 40 seconds on medium/high.

3. Allow the crackers to cool for 3-5 minutes. They will crisp up as they cool down.

Crunch away!

But what if you have gluten sensitivities. Where’s your cone?

Goldbaum’s, a natural food company based in Brooklyn, New York, is at the ready with two different cones that crunch as nicely as the “real thing.”

In the shape of waffle/cake cones, their texture is more like the lighter style wafer/cake cones (here’s the difference between the two types).

So what’s in a gluten-free cone? Instead of wheat, there’s a mix of potato starch and tapioca starch, plus other ingredients including sugar, salt and vanilla.

The gluten-free cones don’t have the flavor of wheat-based cones, but when ice cream is added, you won’t notice the difference—you’ll just enjoy the crunch.

The regular Goldbaum’s cones have just 11 calories apiece, so they’re a boon for calorie counters as well. The sugar cones have 41 calories, are an inch or so taller, and weigh in at 41 calories. Conventional ice cream cones have up to 20% more calories.

The line is certified kosher by OU. Find out more at Goldbaums.com.

Yanni cheese doesn’t melt when grilled or
fried: It just becomes soft and luscious.

If you’re trying to cut back on cheese, don’t buy Yanni Grilling Cheese from Karoun Dairies. It’s addictive, and you’ll be back at the store the next day to buy more—much more.

This oh-so-delicious comfort food can be baked, grilled, microwaved or pan-fried. It’s made for grilling without melting.

Karoun makes original and jalapeño flavors. The jalapeño is only mildly spicy and provides an excellent counterpoint to the creamy cheese. In fact, we find ourselves adding a pinch of crushed chili flakes to the original variety.

You won’t run out of ways to serve yanni, from appetizers and salads to burgers and grilled cheese sandwiches.

Check out the full review, which includes our favorite uses, this week’s recipe and cooking video on how to make the perfect grilled cheese sandwich.
