what's to snack on today {seasoned oyster crackers}.

{source}

i love being in the kitchen, especially over the holidays.  so many memories and traditions come from the kitchen in this special time of year.  growing up, i could always count on my mother making the same treats every christmas.  cookies made in the shape of candy canes, teacakes dusted with powdered sugar, cutout cookies for decorating and buttery toffee coated with rich chocolate.

so much goodness.

while i enjoy sweets, i also wanted to make something savory to add to my christmas baking traditions.  i've always loved seasoned oyster crackers and decided that would be one of the things i make for christmas every year.  the recipe is simple, but if you've never made these you should.  so easy and very tasty.  a good way to add some variation to your holiday sweet baking!  it's been a great snack to have while watching all of our favorite christmas movies.

bella helped me whip these up, too.  a great baking project for little ones to join you in the kitchen :)

seasoned oyster crackers

* 5 c. oyster crackers
* 1 (1 ounce) package of ranch dressing mix
* 1/4 c. vegetable oil
* 1/2 t. dried dillweed
* 1/4 t. garlic powder

- preheat oven to 250 degrees.
- whisk together seasonings and oil in a large mixing bowl.
- add crackers and gently mix to coat.  spread crackers in an even layer on a large baking sheet and bake for ten minutes, gently stir and bake for another 5-10.
- allow crackers to cool before serving.

i doubled this recipe and store this yummy treat in our pantry.  emmy has been eating them by the handfuls.  so simple and delish.  perfect for a new years eve snack too!

enjoy :)
