Yes, I realize this is a strange recipe for me to be sharing here with y’all…
But these are really good.
Throw in a jalapeño or two along with some garlic, and it’s a party!
Needless to say, these Pickled Green Beans (and jalapeños!) are super tasty in a Bloody Mary… or eaten by themselves if that’s what floats your boat.
A healthy, three ingredient soft serve “ice cream” that is perfect to celebrate the Fall season even if it doesn’t feel like Fall yet,
As much as I want it to, it just doesn’t feel like Fall here yet.
The high on Thursday was 91°… yep, October 2nd and it’s 91°
So while I’d love to be making big batches of soup and turning on my oven to bake casseroles and doughnut holes and what not, I just can’t bear it yet.
Not until it gets under 75° do I really start to get into the Fall season foods.
I have never made my own granola bars before. I was always intimidated. But I decided to give them a try, and I will never look back. My neighbor just had a baby, and my blogging friends said that new moms love snacks. Especially if they are breast feeding because they are hungry all day, and it is nice to just grab something. I decided to make her something somewhat healthy, tasty and not too difficult for me to make.
Growing up, there were a few things that my mom made a few times a year that made me inordinately happy and one of those things was her Banana Bread. Honestly, when that woman made it–and she often surprised me–I would eat it for breakfast, pack it in my lunch for school, and enjoy some for desert after dinner. (For some reason, my parents would not let me eat it for dinner.) Whenever I would smell it baking, I was so excited.
