Dilled Green Bean Pickles As you know, I’ve been trying my hand at small batch canning this summer. This recipe was my very first attempt at canning but I didn’t want to post it until they had passed the taste test. The thing with pickles is that you need to wait a month...

Greens with Peanut Sauce I have a friend from Congo who is studying here and in the US. She’s found it difficult to be away from her family and friends. A few of us decided that we would put together a care basket to try to lift her spirits. Well, in my opinion, nothing can...
