Fire & Ice Pickles


Every summer I say that I'm going to make homemade pickles and it just never seems to get done.   I was so excited to find this recipe for a spicy pickle that starts with store bought!  

I originally made the recipe as written, but when I snuck a taste about 6 days in, I wanted some more heat.  I added an additional teaspoon of crushed red pepper flakes.  These are great on burgers.   The only negative thing I can say about this recipe is waiting the week for them to be ready was torture!  Thanks so much to Myra I. for sharing it!

  1. Oh wow, I've never even thought of making a different kind of pickle from some that are already done. This opens up a whole new world of custom flavor combos!

    1. Right? I don't know why I've never thought of it before. Plus I have the pickle brine leftover to use in another recipe.

  2. These sound delicious! I love making pickles but have never tried making any with store bought before. I'm intrigued - the flavors sound great!

    1. I think I always stop myself from making them because I'm the only one that eats them. This way I get a delicious end result with less work.

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites

I'm a huge fan of the Dunkin Donuts Power Breakfast sandwich, so when I started seeing ads for the new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites I stopped in and gave them a try.  They were delicious, but of course, I knew I could make them at home. 

Stuffed Waffles

I wasn't sure I was going to blog these stuffed waffles since it was the first time I tried using the new iron but since I'd already taken the pics as I went I figured, why not? They aren't perfect but they are delicious!

Copycat Dunkin Donuts Bacon and Cheddar Omelet Bites

Since I already came up with a version of Dunkin Donuts new Egg White & Veggie Omelet Bites for myself, I decided to make the other variety that they are offering, Bacon & Cheddar, for my husband.
