Assemble recipe: Summer Crackers [oh yeahhh...]

If you read our former Neatloaf blog, then you may have seen (or even made) this wonderful treat. My mom made these for me as a kid, every summer whenever we went to the beach. I have a feeling that the only reason she always brought these is because they are already crunchy, and we wouldn't realize we may be eating some sand here and there...I digress. Anyone who falls prey to a taste-test is immediately addicted. I encourage you to make this marvelous, easy recipe this weekend and enjoy with a glass of spiked lemonade and hopefully a sun break or two.


Ingredients:
• 2 boxes or bags of oyster crackers
• 1 small package of Hidden Valley Ranch dry/powdered dressing
• 3/4 cup vegetable oil or olive oil (olive oil can sometimes overpower the spices but is better for you)
• between 1/2 teaspoon-1 tablespoon (according to taste--see photo for my recommendation) garlic powder
• between 1/2 teaspoon-1 tablespoon (according to taste--see photo for my recommendation) lemon pepper

Place crackers in large bowl with lid and then add spices. Pour oil over the top, stirring gently between pours. Mix well to coat. Put lid on bowl and shake until all spices are mixed into crackers. Keeps about 2 weeks in Tupperware, and are even better on the second day!
