Healthier Cheese-Its Snacks
Cheese-Its were BY FAR the favorite cracker snack when I was growing up. Handful after handful we’d eat them! Remember that?
These days, we have to be so careful with ingredients, and be much more aware of what we’re actually ingesting with all the additives and poisons they’re putting in our food. Lately I’ve been saying, homemade is always best! I hope you find these healthier cheese-its snacks fun and tasty like we did!
