Made from Scratch Blue Cheese Crackers

This recipe doesn't need to just be made with blue cheese if you're not a fan! So don't go away just yet!

Substitutions are best with a crumbly cheese like Feta, Roquefort, Stilton, and Gorgonzola if those don't work for you, then you can adapt to another if you desire!

These crispy crackers will be the talk of your dinner party and a terrific addition to an appetizer plate full of sliced pears, assorted cheeses, and these crackers.

Every time I serve these at any social gathering, I already have the recipe copied and printed because the family and friends ask how to make them.

These blue cheese crunchy crackers all made from scratch will impress whomever eats them and are not hard at all to make.

Coconut Grove, Whining and Great Dining Review and Coconut Custard Tarts

The photo above is my brother John Colenzo and I at the Village Of Merrick Park in Coconut Grove, Florida. John suggested this would be a treat to see all the fine cars and retailers here. John, besides being my brother, is a music entertainer in Fisher Island (not too far from here) and has some great friends in the area who you'll meet further down the article posted below.

Merrick Park has several Retailers here to see, to include and name a few are anchors Neiman Marcus and Nordstrom's. Quite some interesting finds here. If you are lucky enough to own a Lexus (my favorite car) it's free valet parking. The rest of the vehicles would have a fee. Some very impressive vehicles we saw were the Bentley, Ferrari and the least expensive, a Corvette (still very respectable)! A car buff and lovers dream place to visit here!
