Savory crackers aren’t really my thing. At snack time I am more likely to go for the sweet than the salty (or savory), but here we are.

Have you ever tasted something that you just can’t stop eating? Like, I meant to eat one or two but looked down and the whole sleeve of Girl Scouts Cookies were gone…nope, that’s never happened to me before either.

I found this great recipe from How Sweet Eats and have made it at least a dozen times. Every batch comes out better than the last. First you start out with Saltine crackers. But then, you dress them up with butter and brown sugar and all sorts of delicious spices. You end up with these smoky, delicious, buttery crackers that go with just about anything but taste amazing on their own.

These would be a great addition to any cheese plate, a nice garnish in your soup or even crushed up as a Mac and cheese topping. I can’t wait to try making these with the mini saltines!

Check out the recipe on How Sweet Eats here. Try the recipe out and let me know what you think!

Meat Pies. Is there anything else to say?

Maybe a little. KO Pies has been around since 2010, with two locations, one in Southie and one at the shipyard. They serve the most delicious savory meat pies with crust that is out of this world. The perfect consistency, flaky, and light. The pies come in flavors like: classic beef, classic beef with cheese, curried vegetables, Irish beef stew, and braised lamb shank. They’re authentic Australian pies, meant to be eaten with your hands right out of the tin. We tried them all! Let’s just say that we left in a serious food coma! Don’t forget the sausage roll – it’s pretty delicious as well. You can eat in or take out – the seating area is small, but don’t let that deter you, most people are taking out anyway.

Do they have other things besides meat pies? Yup. a chicken schnitzel burger, spicy shrimp on the barbie, Aussie style Caesar salad, a chickpea salad and potato wedges. I picked up this delicious corn chowder while I was there, it might be one of the tastiest chowders I’ve had in a while.

Did you know they also have “brekkie”? (Southie location only) Breakfast menu items include: bacon and egg, egg and avocado, sweet corn fritters, vegemite on toast and a brekkie pie (smokehouse bacon, fingerling potatoes, a hard boiled egg and cheddar cheese). Brekkie is served 7am – 10:30am Monday through Friday.

As with anything in Southie, parking can be tricky. It’s on street if you can find some and there is a pay garage close by.
