When Valli gave us three links to go through and pick three dishes from those links, i chosed cheese straw from Food Stubs along with two beautiful dishes.When i went through the food stubs listed in this link, obviously i got hooked to cheese straw,so i couldnt stop myself to bake some cheese straw with cheddar cheese.These cheese straws are quite easy to bake and trust me none will resist to this crunchy munchy cheesy sticks.

Kids went crazy once they tasted this straws, i served everyone with some garlic flavored cream cheese.
