I honestly thought you were going to forget about the best of all time. Butter on them. But in the end you pulled through!! I will definitely have to try it with the drizzle of lemon though. 2 of my most favorite things in the world!❤😂
I suggest olive oil, since avocado oil is very horrific for the environment.
Thoroughly enjoyed these soda crackers videos!
Fabulous series! Going for the soda crackers next week!
I just discovered your videos. Stop I can't keep up. I can't remember the ones that sound incredible. Thanks
Some how I missed, how much oil to use? Looks like 1 cup or?
Your a hot ticket you go girl Alabama fire cracker you Southern gals are great cooks My Nana was from Alabama my uncle was a peanut farmer down there in Alabama
I have been buying the Aldi saltines and I think they are far better than the Nabisco saltines. They are crispier and have a more toasted flavor.
I always use the Fiesta Ranch dressing for the Alabama Firecrackers!! Really gives it just a little extra touch!! Love when I tried it!! 💕
I made your Cracker Pie!! OMGOSH!! My daughter in law and I devoured it!! Fixing it again this week. The face she made when I told her what I was making was priceless!! lol. The face after she tasted it was 😮. She asks for it now! Ty!!
Oh WOW! I didn't know you was from ALABAMA. Me too!!!!
Saltine crackers and Duke's mayo — a marriage made in foodie heaven.
With the pie crust what about cutting the sugar, maybe replace with savory spices, and use as a quiche crust?
I use the crushed up Alabama firecrackers as a coating rather than plain crackers. Especially on my salmon patties. It’s good.
Thanks to you! I have made almost all these recipes. I now buy 5-6 boxes at a time.
I made the saltine toffees. They were fantastic! Thanks for the recipe. So easy to make, I’m afraid I’m gonna make too often😊
I have made the firecrackers a few times and they are always a big hit, surprisingly they are not that spicy. Next time I might up the peppers.
I LOVE all of your food videos!!! I keep saving them, so I can try as many as possible! Thank you for your hard work, and beautiful style!!!
What about the Bacon-wrapped saltines??? I heard those were good!!
I thought for sure.. you’d have that one on the list!!.. (I haven’t made this one).. Thank you for showing us All the ways we can use them!!😋😋💓🙌🙏
girl – you have the very best job in the world cuz you are an amazing cook – I learn so much in every video.
Faux potato salad made with saltines. Saw it years ago on the Justin Wilson cooking show.
These all sound delicious!!! Thank you, Nicole! You’re not only informative but also hilarious and I love your T-shirt collection, too! 🎉
Of all the cooks I watch, you are the one whose food I want most to taste. I’m salivating over saltines. You are the best.
Really love your video's !!!
How much oil for firercrackers
Saltines dipped in milk like you would do a cookie. Yummy.
Not all saltines crackers pass the test…I absolutely love my saltine crackers and thank you for these great recipes to enhance the perfect saltine!! Love the chocolate one❤!! 🙏🏻❤️
Oh man. I've never heard or eaten cracker candy, cracker salad, etc. This was an interesting show on what "weird" stuff southerners eat!
