Homemade cheezits and Baked "hard-boiled" eggs

So since we eat a ton of crackers I thought making our own would be a great idea. So here is the link: http://missanthropistskitchen.wordpress.com/2011/06/22/homemade-goldfish-crackers-with-a-homemade-goldfish-cookie-cutter/

I can't get the pictures to come up on my computer so I can't show you what they looked like when they made them but here are my results:

Not very appetizing huh?  So I had LOTS of problems with this recipe.  First of all the recipe says to mix the ingredients in a food processor which I do not have so I just decided to use the pulse feature on my blender. It did not go well... The ingredients did not mix well despite much poking and prodding.  Finally I added some water and started to get some movement, unfortunately then my blender started to smoke ( I think its toast, I'm not sure though because I'm afraid to try it for confirmation that I'll need a new blender).  So since I thought it was pretty well mixed I let it chill for about an hour and then rolled it out to cut and bake it.  Now I'll admit it had gotten late and I was a little tired so I may have rushed this a little.  The "dough" didn't get rolled even enough and obviously didn't get the squares are square or even as I could have.  But even after they baked they didn't taste very good.  They aren't very cheesy or salty.  They just have a weird floury, kinda cheesy taste.  Even bean (who eats just about anything made a really nasty face when I gave her one)

All in all not something worth doing for me.  I'd rather just buy a box of goldfish or cheezits.  It may save a little money but they aren't good at all and really not a lot cheaper and I have better things to do with my time.  

That night I also attempted baking hard boiled eggs.  When I give bean snacks I try to give her protein to stay healthy.  Eggs are a great source of protein but I hate having to scramble eggs every day and I really hate hard boiling eggs.  So when I heard of this idea I thought it would be great.  So I tried this.  I put 6 eggs in a muffin tin and then preheated the oven to 325 (the suggested temp) I baked the eggs for 30 minutes and then took them out and gave them time to cool.  When I peeled them...Voila! Hard boiled eggs! Exciting!!!

Just a few issues that I think are fixable.  A couple of the eggs were just a little uncooked in the middle and most of the eggs had a weird grey ring around the yolks.  I think these issue can be solved by cooking the eggs a little hotter and a little longer and then dunking them in cold water.  

I'll try again soon and update.

Good night!
