Thanks faith. My ds5 and I are planning on making dill pickles(his fave)
this weekend. I think I have enough cukes from the garden and will try
this this weekend.

Sox:

Recipe is from my MIL. She says the garlic is important -- helps to keep pickles crisp. They're good, and really fast and easy.

I have a large, 1/2 gallon jar that I use, and I make a double batch. They sure don't last several months here!

Got the stuff and will make them with my son today. I will let you
know how they turn out.

Thanks.

My Mom used to fix this casserole.....it was SO good. She added dill and chopped, sauteed onions to hers. I'm going to have to make this again. I remember hers and it was yummy! Just add some crusty bread and you've got dinner!

Sox-- We ate our first pickles today, after letting them sit 2 or 3 days. They were just as good as my MIL's, aqnd so quick to make. Hope yours are good.

Here's another recipe:

Summer Smoothie:

Fill blender 1/4 full with no-fat strawberry yogurt. 1/4 full with orange juice. 4 ripe bananas. 1 c crushed ice. Blend. Good!

Can substitute other ingredients. Other flavors of yogurt. Ice cream instead of yogurt. Other kinds of juice. Other fruit. Very versatile.

they are on the counter faith. We have to wait till at least tomorrow
afternoon. I made a quadruple batch. I have to admit I snuck a
taste today and they are already yummy.

They were delicious.(the pickcles). Our quadruple batch is almost
gone. I did add extra garlic as my family loves garlic.

Great recipe. Thanks Faith.

YW! Glad you enjoyed them. Easy to make.
