Refrigerator Pickles

Wow - has it really been since Feb when I last posted a recipe? Amazing how being a SAHM mom, watching another sweet baby two day a week, running a direct selling business and just life in general sweeps your life away before your very own eyes. I have never really intended on keeping this blog for any other reason than to have a way to catalog online my favorite creations and recipes. I reference these pages weekly for meal ideas and instructions for making old favorites. I love when people ask about the recipes and I get to share them, but that is just a fun bonus to my own madness of keeping up with my kitchen.

Last summer when I was pregnant my neighbor brought me some pickles she had made. They were AMAZING! I have made several pickle recipes in my life and they have been very good but these were just too amazing that I had to ask her for the recipe. It is beyond simple and very affordable to make.
