cheez its

&quot;This is a favorite of quite a few of the children I babysit.  It tastes great, is easy to make, only has four ingredients, and kid friendly to boot! 
I love it when a recipe has just about everything going for it, and this one definitely does!&quot;

Cheez-it Chicken

chicken tenders

Cheez-It crackers crushed

Spicy Ranch Fritos - corn chips coated in red pepper flakes and Ranch dressing - we are obsessed with these spicy chips. These Fritos are great on their own, dipped into your favorite party dip, or on top of a big bowl of soup or chili. However you eat them, you must make a batch ASAP. I always keep the ingredients in the pantry so I can whip up this spicy snack whenever the craving hits.
