RANCH FLAVORED OYSTER CRACKERS

-

New Year's Eve is tomorrow.  There will be lots of parties going on.  Food and appetizers to make.  Well, this recipe is quick, simple, and cheap to make.  Of course, I normally have the ingredients on hand but others might not.  Others might not though.  Still, it is a fairly quick and inexpensive something to make that everyone will enjoy.

 There are many reasons I love this recipe.  It goes without saying the fact it is simple and cheap to make.  You can make a batch in 20 minutes, which makes it incredibly quick to make.  It really is something you can throw together and take to a party in mere minutes.  It tastes great too.  Scott loves these little tasty crackers.

 RANCH FLAVORED OYSTER CRACKERS

 Ingredients
  • 1 bag of oyster crackers.
  • 1/4 cup canola or vegetable oil
  • 1 ounce of ranch mix
  • 1/4 teaspoon garlic powder 
  • 1/2 to 1 teaspoon dried dill weed
Directions
  • Prevent oven to 350 degrees.
  • Put ranch mix, garlic powder, and dill weed in a bowl.
  • Add canola oil to mix and blend well.
  • Put crackers in a ziplock bag and add the wet mix to the bag.  Shake bag well to coat all crackers.
  • Put crackers in a single layer on an ungreased baking dish.
  • Bake 15 minutes.  Allow to cook and keep in an airtight container.  
Note:  You can buy a packet of ranch but I find if I make my own it is not nearly as salty.  You can also substitute lemon pepper in place of garlic powder but I prefer garlic powder.  

This really does make a pretty appetizer place.  


Happy New Year's and ENJOY!!

TOMATO SOUP (CANNING RECIPE)

I made this a couple of weeks back and I am finally getting around to post about it.  I always say life gets in the way and it truly does.  I stay so busy that I sometimes have a hard time finding the time to sit down and write or type a blog post.  It is not that I do not want to, it really is hard to carve out a bit of time to sit down.  Now with all that said.... We are bracing for Hurricane Florence in my neck of the woods.  Thank goodness it has been downgraded to a Cat 2 but you just never know.  I am saying all of that to say it is always good to have some stuff canned.  Oh, I know you can go to the grocery store and buy just about anything but have you given any thought to what is in that tin can you buy?  Or that frozen entree?  Think hard about what you are putting into your body.  Just last night our friend Matt stopped by and he another friend, Dusty that when he runs out of food he is coming to my house.   I have never canned tomato soup.  I really have never thoug

COPY CAT ORTEGA TACO SAUCE

Tacos, everyone loves tacos.  I mean why else do we have Taco Tuesdays?  Well, that is exactly what we had last night for dinner.  Tacos!!!  After fixing them I realized I was out of this wonderful sauce.  I normally keep a few jars canned in the basement but I used the last jar a few weeks back.   Needless to say, I needed to make more since I had the tacos already cooking.  I am so glad it is very easy to make.  Quick and simple.  I will admit though it is better if you let it sit a few days I did but not have the time for that last night.  After all, it was Taco Tuesday in the Cristina's household. Gather your spices together.  Measure out each into a small mixing bowl. Mix it all together. Add tomato sauce and apple cider vinegar. Mix together. Here is a secret ingredient that I add to make it taste yummy.  Lemon pepper seasoning.  It takes the level up a bit and makes it taste so much more like Ortega.   COPY CAT ORTEGA TAC

HOW TO MAKE CRISPY PICKLED JALAPENOS

I have struggled to find a recipe to make pickled jalapenos that were nice and crisp.  My pickled jalapenos were mushy and could only be used as a spice, like in chili or some Mexican dish.  I wanted my pickled jalapenos to have a crunchy bite to them.  I wanted to feel the crisp when I bit into it.  Being frugal I could not just toss them out so of course I still used them.   The last few years I have found a way to make sure they are crunchy and nicely crisp.  I use 2 products, Pickling lime and pickle crisp.  Yeah, I double do it but it works!! My jalapenos came at a lark this year.  Our friend Wade gave us some pepper plants that he had started from seed.  I think he felt sorry for us because we did not have a good turnout with our own seedlings.  We thought we were getting scotch bonnet peppers but it turned out we got 4 jalapeno pepper plants instead.  There is a joke behind planting seeds, do not drink and label your seeds.  It is funny how things turn out becau
