Happy New Year, HungryTexan-verse! We have a lot up our sleeves to keep your mouths watering and tummies full in 2013. Just in case you woke up this morning reaching for the holy trinity of manymanymany ounces of water, a gatorade, and a grande iced coffee; popping ibuprofen; and scarfing a Five Guys egg & cheese faster than a 10-second countdown to midnight, with the looming knowledge that in a few short hours you need to function like a human and put your best, “I-have-slain-my-hangover” foot forward at New Year’s Day festivities…here’s an easy breezy recipe for savory oyster crackers that all the guests at the party will love munching on! Here’s one of my Mimi’s delicious holiday staples that you’ll nom by the handful.

You’ll need:

1 & 1/2 bag of oyster crackers

1 package of ranch dressing mix

1 tsp garlic salt

2 tsp dill weed

1/2 cup of a neutral oil (I used canola)

Since reading might be a little much right now, here’s a picto-recipe & the captioned cliff notes.

Combine oyster crackers & all seasonings in a large bowl. Once seasonings are evenly distributed, mix in 1/2 cup of oil. Start nibbling immediately.
