Easy homemade saltine crackers

  Crackers are a hit in our family. My kids love them, we could eat them with peanut butter, cheese, deli meat, with soups. Oh could we eat them. I like this recipe, a lot!  I enjoy making things from scratch as I know what ingredients are being used, we can customize it to our liking. With crackers we can make all kinds of shapes just by using cookie cutters to shape them.  you can add your venting holes in any pattern you would like and you can also add color!
