That's a BAD Cheez-It!

Over Christmas, Mike learned how to make a new recipe called Firecrackers.  It is FABULOUS!

Firecrackers
  • 1 box of saltines
  • 1-1/3 cup vegetable oil
  • package of ranch dressing mix
  • 1 tbsp cayenne pepper
  • 2 tbsp red pepper flakes
  • 1 tbsp grated parmesan cheese
Arrange the saltines or other crackers in an airtight sealable bowl.  Mix all other ingredients in a separate bowl and pour over the crackers.  Place the lid on top, then turn over several times.  Turn every 15 minutes for approximately 2 hours. 

These things are HOT, but they are great - really open up the sinuses!  We made them for Christmas at my mom's, and Mike decided to make them again the other day just to have them at home.  I ate some last night, and I guess I must have left a Cheez-It in the chair (we like to make ours with saltines and Cheez-Its).

Mike and Sammy were up early this morning, and all of the sudden, Sammy came running over to Mike, wiping his tongue and saying, "Daddy, that was a bad Cheez-it!  I don't like that Cheez-It!  I want a good Cheez-It!  That was a BAD Cheez-It!"  Ooooops - I guess he found a leftover Cheez-It somewhere and popped it into his mouth!

Two things - A - YUCK!  Whose kid eats food they find on the floor or in random chairs?  Apparently, mine does.  And B - I hope he learned a lesson here - just because it looks like it might be good, doesn't always mean it IS good.  You need to look beyond the exterior to see what's really there - 9 times out of 10, it's probably a BAD Cheez-It!

  1. I think Noah is going to have to take the credit for that bad cheez-it. He spilled more times than I can count. We must have missed one. Oops!! Sorry Sammy!
