I would never have thought of adding a marshmallow but for years I have eaten saltines with peanutbutter and jelly… Yup and I mean for years. Just became Great Grandma today to my second great grandbaby…

Hello there,

Your post just made my day. From an econ perspective (which is what I have my degree in so it’s good I’m using it here at least since my profession is in the graphic arts world) all this doom and gloom talk is not doing a bit of good to help anything.
Macro economics in its simplest of forms: You make your own destiny. Tell people things are going to suck…and they freak out and take a course of action that makes it so. Tell people things are going to be fine… they decide to go out and have a good time and enjoy life which tends to spread wealth.

I am going to go make these snacks right now while I sing Bibbidy Bobbidy Boo. Disney movies mine as well be musicals right?

Hey, I love this! My kids L-O-V-E (not) when I wake them up singing! I like to sing songs they know but “opera-size” them as I call it. My Achey Breakey Heart is on my song list now. You ain’t hurd nutin’ til you’ve heard that song a-la-opera! I sing a lot, but not well. Keep up the songs!!!

Christy, bless you for your attitude and words, not to mention the fact that I am frantically trying to put mini marshmallows on a cracker covered in peanut butter!!

Just wanted to say that one of my favorite quotes is, “The altitude of your attitude determines the height of your gratitude!”

Again, blessings to you!!

Christy~I just want to say how much I enjoy you and your web site. You are definitely a Southern Gal I can relate to. Reading your post was like hearing my own thoughts! Without even having met you, I feel like you are an old friend and I can’t wait to come visit everyday-well I missed yesterday The recipes are of course phenomenal and your attitude is a wonderful reminder to chin up and keep moving on with a smile or song on your lips. I love to sing but try to keep it low except for in the car, cause I can’t carry a tune in a bucket! I don’t want to get political but I will say that I only watch miniscule amounts of the news because the media makes me crazy in their efforts to stir the population into a frenzy. They refuse to look at anything positive while shoving ever gory nasty detail of life down our throats. Anyway, keep up the fabulousness and God Bless!! ….oh say can you see..

Oh…I just loves these. When I was little my mother always made these for us after school. She used Ritz crackers and I remember she would make a whole pan full and they were gone in a matter of minutes. Thank you for reminding me of this wonderful snack.

The poor man’s treat looks good – but I wonder how it’d taste with a dab of milk chocolate and on a Chessman butter cookie?!?!

Going to try your snack, because it sounds so good. What I did when the kids were still at home, was take a saltine cracker, top with some peanut butter, then top with a dill pickle slice! We all loved them, as did friends that would visit and join us in eating them. God bless America!!!
