SODA CRACKER PIE
This pie is delicious, with or without a filling. I make it with pecans and serve it with whipped topping and one shake of nutmeg on top. Or I make it without pecans and fill with fruit filling such as lemon filling. I use soda crackers, saltines, graham crackers or buttery round crackers, finely crushed

Steps:
- Grease an 8″ spring-form pan with butter. Pre-heat oven to 375 degrees F. In a medium mixing bowl, add 3 egg whites and beat until fluffy, approximately 30 seconds. Gradually add sugar and continue to beat until another minute. Batter will resemble runny pancake batter. Add vanilla and coconut oil, beating until well incorporated. In a sandwich size plastic bag, add saltines and crumble with your hands or the back of a wooden spoon until crackers are about nickel sized pieces (does not have to be exact, just don't smash into crumbs). Add the baking powder to the saltines and mix in with your hand. Add walnuts and saltines to batter and fold in with a large spoon or spatula. Pour batter into spring-form pan and spread to edges. Bake in 375F oven for 20 minutes or until edges appear golden. Remove from oven and cool 5 minutes on baking rack. After 5 minutes, release sides of pan and cool completely. Meanwhile, place shredded coconut on a baking sheet and return to 375F degree oven. Toast coconut approximately 5-7 minutes, watching not to burn. Remove from oven and let cool completely while finishing torte. Whip cream to desired stiffness, adding sugar to taste and 1 teaspoon vanilla. Remove cooled torte from pan onto plate, cover with whipped cream and toasted coconut. If time allows, chill at least one hour before serving to let whipped cream soften the top of the torte a bit. Note, you may serve immediately if necessary, but letting the whip cream sit on the torte for a bit makes it even more delectable. Delicious 2 or even 3 days later! - See more at: http://gooddinnermom.com/page/2/#sthash.rU3lsArU.dpuf

OLD-FASHIONED SODA CRACKERS
When I was in Mexico, one of the silliest but best things I remember eating, were homemade soda crackers that were served with our meal. They were still warm right out of the oven, and heavenly. We had them in a quaint little restaurant in a village called Taxco. These are just like them! It makes a lot, but you won't believe how quickly you'll go through them!!

Steps:
- Try Chuck's homemade soda crackers and you'll never go back to the store-bought ones.
- In a small bowl, sprinkle the yeast over the warm water; stir to dissolve and let stand for 5 minutes.
- In a large bowl, mix the flour, salt and baking soda. Add the yeast mixture and stir vigorously with a wooden spoon to blend. If the dough is sticky, add sprinkles of flour until a soft dough forms.
- Knead the dough until it is soft and has an elastic consistency, about 5 minutes. Add sprinkles of flour to control the stickiness. If using a mixer or a food processor, the dough will form a soft ball around the revolving dough hook and clean the sides of the bowl. Add flour, if necessary, to firm up the dough.
- Drop the dough into a buttered bowl, cover with plastic wrap and place in the refrigerator to rest for at least 1 hour and up to 18 hours (the longer the better.)
- Arrange the rack in the middle of the oven and preheat to 425 degrees F. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
- With a heavy rolling pin, roll the dough into a rectangle about 18 by 6 inches and no thicker than 1/8-inch. Fold the dough from the short ends, brushing off the excess flour, to make 3 layers for extra flaky crackers. Roll again using the rolling pin.
- Prick the dough with the tines of a fork to help cook evenly. Evenly cut the dough along the edge of a ruler or yardstick with a pizza or cookie cutter into desired shapes.
- Place the crackers close together on the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle lightly with salt from 12-inches above the crackers to distribute evenly.
- Bake until lightly browned and crisp, 15 to 20 minutes, depending on the thickness of the crackers. Check the crackers several times during the baking period to make certain those on the outer edge of the baking sheet are not getting too brown. If so, switch the ones on the outside with the ones in the middle.
- Remove from the oven and brush the crackers with melted butter. Let cool on a metal rack.
SODA CRACKER TORTE
This is basically a meringue. You can put fruit on it, or do just about anything else you would do with meringues. I like it for two reasons: It's got an interesting, nutty-crunchy taste and texture, and I love hearing people say after they taste it, "Crackers? You're kidding!"
