23. The holidays are coming. Which means good food. Share a recipe for a dish you love to enjoy during the Merry Thanksmas season. (So we can enjoy it too!)

Homemade Flavored Crackers

2 sleeves of saltine crackers
1 pkg dry Ranch seasoning (3 tbls if you have a container of dry Ranch dressing mix)
2 TBLS Red pepper flakes
1 Tbls Garlic powder
2/3 cup of canola oil

Put all ingredients in a giant ziplock and shake until crackers and nicely coated. Let set over night for best results. The longer those flavors have to soak in, the better they taste.

Best with chili, stew, or with soft cheeses.

Almost

I can't believe I am almost finished with this book. Well, the official first draft anyway. Next comes the rather painful editing process, and I know there are plot holes and all sorts of mess to correct. I'm hoping to get that squared away by the summer so I can have the book out in the fall of 2014. I promise book 3 of the Shadowside Trilogy won't be so long in coming. I am, however, taking a break from that universe after this. I need to write something else for a while. And how I ended this one has been emotionally draining. I think I need to write something less serious next.
