    Homemade Cheese Crackers on a light blue plate on top of a pink linen on a wood board

    Whenever I go on a "road trip" usually Vegas, San Fran, San Diego, Santa Barbra... I ALWAYS buy a box of white cheddar cheese-its. I seriously cannot get enough of them. Then a while back I saw a recipe for homemade cheese crackers on my friend Kayle's Blog and I knew I had to make them. I have made them about 5 times now, I love them, my sisters love them, my friends do, heck you will love them!

    These are SOO easy to make and SOO delicious. I usually use a Sharp English Cheddar or sometimes just whatever I have on hand, and I always sprinkle them with sea salt. I have even sprinkled parmsean on top of them before baking before, I like cheese what can I say?! 😉
