Pickles

So Saturday, the day before we had our entire family over for a BBQ when i had six million other thing to do and a 10 month old to entertain, i decided to make pickles. Earlier in the week i had happen to catch a few minutes of the Martha Stewart show, where she had the "pickle guy" on showing how to make pickles. I was surprised by how easy it seemed. I don't think i had ever really thought about the process of making pickles before, but the next day at the farmers market they had great looking Kirby cucumbers perfect for pickle making. So i came home with a bag full and bought a 10 pack of mason jars the next day at Wegmans.I used some form of the recipe from the show: http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/spears-of-influence?rsc=also_try.  So here are my first attempt at dill pickles i will let you know in 2-4 weeks how they turned out.

I'm Back...

So after a brief hiatus, okay it was a little more then brief, I am back and i have some big plans!!!! With the end of the school year comes many weeks of home time with lots of things for me to try. I begin last night with making my own veggie burgers using a recipe from last months Real Simple: http://www.realsimple.com/food-recipes/browse-all-recipes/veggie-burgers-00000000014283/. The outcome, they were delicious, even my carnivore husband cleaned his plate. I am hoping to make more for this Sundays Father's Day BBQ. More to come soon.
