My resume is fairly full of positions I’ve filled and skills
I’ve acquired. What it doesn’t describe is my career as a professional snacker.
I snack. Snacks are my thing, meals are not. It’s not that I
have anything against meals, I thoroughly enjoy them when they come around! It’s
the grocery shopping that has to happen beforehand that leaves my refrigerator
and pantry empty, but my wallet reasonably (and relatively) full. I just have a
hard time justifying buying loads of groceries for one person! Seems awfully
silly to me.
It also doesn’t help that I become the most indecisive
person in the world the second I step foot in any supermarket. There’s so many
options and items for me to choose from—do I want pasta, or Asian food, or
pizza, or the salad bar, or soup, or cookie cake, or ice cream…you see what my
problem is? Sometimes, I become so overwhelmed that I walk out empty handed
looking anxious as all get out to the point where I probably appear as if I’m
shoplifting!
I’m constantly brainstorming how I could possibly change my
ways and become a meal maker, and I’ve only managed to come up with one
solution—hire a live-in chef. Good news for them would be they wouldn’t have to
purchase any condiments—they make up about 90% of my fridge right now. Bad news
for me, is my “reasonably (and relatively) full” wallet isn’t quite full enough
for that kind of service!
I’ll hold on to that solution for more prosperous days. In
the meantime, I’ll keep calm and snack on.
This week, I made a snack to match my 4th of July
themed, Firecracker Pound Cake! These “Hot as a Firecracker” cheese crackers
are the most addicting recipe I’ve made in a very long time—bake at your own
risk!
What I love most about this snack recipe is your ability to
customize it to what your taste buds want and can handle. For me, the spicier
and hotter, the better. But that’s not necessarily the case for everyone. This
recipe comes with a good amount of heat, but if you can’t stand the heat…I
promise you won’t have to get out of your kitchen! All you have to do is
minimize your spices.
Recipe is below--can’t wait to see the variations y’all come up with! Happy baking!
