Babies, Rusks, recipes, teething etc

My 6 month old dd is going through her first teething phase at the moment. I bought her some rusks and biscuits to chew on which she loves. Apart from being really expensive, the majority of them end up on the floor and they contain sugar. Can someone please suggest a rusk/biscuit recipe that I can make for her or what biscuity type food I can give her to chew on instead?. Oh and just to be complicated she hates the toys that you can give babies to chew on.

By the way I find this website and the people on it a complete inspiration. I am so sorry to hear that some of you are going through tough times at the moment and wish you all the best at getting back on track ASAP. ;)
