I keep saltines on hand always...must be Nabisco Premium Original. I also have Ritz Garlic Butter crackers...those things are heaven with peanut butter (Jiff Extra Crunchy) on them! I don't do that often, but sometimes when I don't feel like cooking or I'm eating dinner alone, that combo just hits the spot!

I am crazy for Blue Diamond's Nut Thin crackers.  Some are labeled, "Artisan," and there are numerous flavors.  They come in a small quantity-sized box, and are VERY (embarassingly) easy to eat in one day.  But they're healthier than regular crackers, so I never feel very guilty.  ;-)  I can't buy them too often, though, as they're not cheap.  However, a treat every now and then is good.  These are SO addicting!

I've become addicted  to bacon flavored Ritz crackers.

Did you have to tell me that Ritz comes in bacon flavor now?!  Haven't seen those, but now I'll be looking for them.....sigh.

@KingstonsMom  I get them at Walmart.

@Kachina624

Thanks so much, I'll look for them there.....real soon! LOL!

I like to eat egg salad, tuna salad and salmon salad with wheat thins instead of bread.  

I love the crackers Trader Joe's carries with the fig - cannot think of name.  Great for soft cheese.

I like the flavored Triscuits.  

If I am going to make a cheese plate I use fancier crackers.  

I am going to look for the Keebler White Cheddar  Sounds good.

Those triscuits with rosemary are really way too good. And every once in a while I enjoy a bag of goldfish cheddar crackers. Cheezits don't stay in the house long. I really miss the Nabisco LowSalt saltines.                                                  --------------------------------                                              I try to buy unsalted saltines - don't taste as good, but better for me.   I found that the Walmart brand is pretty good...for an unsalted cracker!!

I love Keebler Toasteds in the variety pack of three. There are great with cheeses. DH loves Zesta Saltines, but I prefer oyster crackers for soups and chili. Ritz is my preference for peanut butter.

Always keep some Ritz on-hand for snacking and cooking.  Can't make my salmon patties or crab cakes recipes without them.

          I keep Ritz crackers on-hand for a yummy pie recipe (recipe from a local restaurant).    Good idea to use them with salmon patties, @deepwaterdotter!   (I can't eat crab...  sadly, I developed a major allergic reaction several years ago and can't go near it.)

---

Details, @dooBdoo, we want more details on that pie.  😀

          Well, @tansy, I moved not long ago and have to admit I haven't unearthed everything packed away.    I'm not much of a cook, but I follow recipes fairly well!    I asked my sister, and this is her version which probably mirrors the one I use.   It's called a "macaroon pie," and the interesting thing is that usually people can't identify the ingredients when they taste it.   People used to go to the locally-owned restaurant just for the pie!   The family closed it recently...  very sad for the community.

15 dates chopped fine (app 4 oz, 1/2 cup)​

1/2 cup pecans, chopped

15 Ritz crackers​

3 egg whites

1 cup sugar​

1 tsp almond extract

Whipped cream

Cherries

Chop dates.  Roll crackers to make crumbs.  Mix with sugar and nuts.  Beat egg whites until stiff and add almond extract.  Fold into date, crumbs, sugar, nut mixture.  Pour into greased pie or cake pan and bake 45 minutes at 300 degrees (or 25 to 30 minutes at 350).  Pie should set, but do not overbake -- may sink a bit in the center after cooling.  Serve warm or at room temperature with whipped cream and top with a cherry.  Most other recipes for this call for 1/4 tsp baking powder mixed in with crumb mixture.  I've tried it both ways and think it does hold together better with the baking powder.  Freezes well.

Now, that's a different-sounding pie that I might have to try, @dooBdoo😊  Thanks for posting it.

i hope you are settled into your new home and happy with the move!

          You're welcome, @tansy!   Thanks for the good wishes.    Sometimes I "settle slowly" into a new home, but it all works out well eventually.   Hope you have a lovely evening and weekend.

 DH loves their Tuscan Cheese ( for me, it gets my teeth too " coated " ).

Oooh that sounds good @jlkz! I need to try those!
