Snack time!

It's been so busy around here!  There just isn't enough time in a day to get everything done.  However, even I like to have a little down time!
It's monday night, and you know what that means!  FOOTBALL!  Even though I'm not a Green Bay or Seattle fan, I will be sitting in front of the TV and watching the game (and perhaps enjoying a cold brew!)  This means we need a snack or two!  Here is my snack recipe for the night!  (remember that generic varieties of these crackers are just as good!)

Chili lime cracker mix

Ingredients

1 bag of oyster crackers
1 box of cheese nip crackers (any flavor you like--I like the Tabasco ones!)
1 box of wheat thins
about half a bag of pretzel sticks or mini twists
1 to 1 1/4 cups canola oil
1 packet of ranch dressing powder
1 tablespoon chili powder
3 packets of True lime (you could use lime zest also--we just prefer the true lime)
1/4 tsp of fresh cracked black pepper

put all the crackers and pretzels in a container with a lid.  Mix the oil, ranch, chili, true lime and pepper together until incorporated and pour over the cracker mixture.  Shake the contain to get all the pieces coated.  Spread the crackers on a baking sheet in a thin layer (may have to use a couple of them depending on the size of your pans) Drizzle them with the remaining seasoned oil and bake them at 250 degrees for about 15-20 minutes, stir them half way through baking time.  Let them cool and put them in a bowl or two and enjoy!  Store the leftovers (if any) in a airtight container or zipper bag!
