So this is less of a recipe and more of a, “Hey, didn’t I see that on the box at some point?”
I am fairly certain that everyone in the good ole USA has seen this before. If you haven’t then email cause we need to be friends. I rarely meet people as behind the times as me.
Could. Not. Be. Simpler. (Want more amazing appetizers? I’ve got you covered!)
Snacks
I am sure you could add 101 different things to this, and by all means, please share so that I can break out of the mold a bit OK? My family will thank you. But every afternoon when the kids get home from school I am struggling to come up with easy snacks that everyone likes, that they can make themselves, and that isn’t loaded with sugar. This one fits the bill!
How to Make This Easy Snack
Now, these steps are long and complicated so please be sure to tell me if I left anything out!
Grab cracker.
Add cottage cheese.
Sprinkle with season salt.
Eat.
Gotta tell ya. Even though this is the easiest and cheapest snack ever, we love it. We can polish off two sleeves of crackers and a container on cottage cheese in one sitting. Not to mention the Lawry’s… did you see the size of that container???
Variations for Snacks
You can add jam, jelly, fresh fruit (we love pears), prunes, almost anything to this simple snack. Some folks use Mrs. Dash to cut down on salt, some use low fat cottage cheese, some get the low-sodium crackers and create an almost salt-free snack! I can say with full confidence that whatever combination you choose, you will be delighted with this easy treat.

Did you make this recipe?
Thank you for making my recipe! You took pictures, right? Well go ahead and post them on Instagram! Be sure to mention me @iambaker and use the hashtag #YouAreBaker.
You may notice that I do not add quantities to this recipe. Simply put, you can make as many or as few as you would like.
So tell me, how many years (decades, centuries…) have you been enjoying this snack?
Are what are some ways you and your family customize it?
Whahahaha…. here is South Africa they’re called Salticrax and they’ve coined the phrase Salticrax Snax – one for every day of the month. Shortly after pay-day you get the ones with cream cheese, smoked salmon, garnish. Mid-Month has cream cheese, end of the month is a lowly bicky on it’s own… but still good.
this does look very tasty – and in 3 easy steps – can’t beat that. We must try it!!!
Love this snack! BUT we use Mrs. Dash, instead of Lawry’s. I’ve been eating this snack since I was a kid!!
I’ve never tried this snack. I’m not a big fan of cottage cheese, though. 🙁
I do love Ritz crackers with Chives and Onion cream cheese! I could eat that stuff every day for the rest of my life!!
Hmmm…would I? could I? I feel like this is comparable to trying green eggs and ham. I’m very unsure (even skeptical!), but in the end, I bet I would like it! You’ve never led me astray before, right?
this sounds good will have to try it,, something we do is simple as well,,get a cracker, add a tad bit of sour cream and a jalapeno slice and sprinkle with garlic powder or garlic salt, whichever you prefer.. it is soooo good!
Best “sample day at the grocery store” snack ever!
I want to go to your grocery stores AJ! 😉
Would you believe I’ve never seen that? Never ever, and I’ve seen quite a few snacks…
OK, So perhaps I’ve been living in a cave for the past 30 years but I have never had these for a snack, and I’m trying to work out exactly why… it seems as if they would be SOOOO tasty & just as quick…
Must try these soon…. (and by soon, I mean right now!)
