Yummy Strawberry Dessert - use a hand mixer it beats the eggs better -

3 egg whites

1/2 tsp. baking powder

1 cup white sugar

...17 Ritz crackers or soda crackers (I used Ritz)

1/2 cup pecans or walnuts (I used pecans) measure before chopping

1 tsp. vanilla

Beat eggs with powder until stiff, slowly add sugar. Put soda crackers in a ziploc and roll with a rolling pin until crushed to a powder. Fold in rest of ingredients to egg mixture. Pour into pie pan. Bake at 325 (on convect if you have it) for 35 minutes. Cool for 1 hour before adding topping.
