Still because they look so good I decided to try them again. Oh my gosh, no more. And I know so many people like "Mary's Gone Crackers" but I absolutely do not want to hear from anyone who does like them  . I DO always like the rest of this dish but the "Mary's gone crackers" ruined it.
I also had a Green Giant's frozen side dish that I like a lot. It's sliced green beans with almonds. Normally I add evoo and garlic, and it's fabulous. This time I decided to make what I will call the lazy man's green bean casserole. I added onion frizzles and cream of mushroom condensed soup. Oh my goodness, it was okay but overall just silly.
Then for dessert I tried some Gavottes thin butter crackers. They were very bland.  |
I hear you about the blandness of Mary's Gone Crackers (brand of crackers). I thought they were pretty good until I found better crackers, so I gave them up in favor of a new line of crisps by Lesley Stowe (Rain Coast Crisps).

I really like the crisps. They come in a variety of flavors and blends (cranberry, olive, garlic, cheese, rosemary). And they are delicious and very tasty and filling. I like them a lot.
Have you also tried
Divina's Fig Spread? I use the fig spreads and couple them with smoked gouda or other vegan plant based cheeses to make a tasty snack, which ends up being more of a small meal.
I like the Chili Fig Spread and the Orange Fig Spread. Both are very delicious.
For supper tonight, I plan on making a party tray of Rain Coast Crisps, brie, Jalapeno spread and Divina's Fig Spread with a portion of Red Grapes and cubed cantaloupe on the side.
And, McMenamin Brewery's handcrafted Ruby Ale, on the side, for a late afternoon Sunday evening supper.
