Garlic-Dill Crackers

I Love Ranch Crackers, but I can't afford all the fat calories, plus I never could stand the ultra-greasy feel of the conventional ones in my mouth, so I played around until I came up with this comparatively low-fat version. With the extra seasonings, you don't miss the grease at all.
