A nice cold, crunchy and extra dilly pickle straight from the fridge is one of my favorite things, all year long. It’s the perfect snack - whenever I’m hungry and don’t know what to eat, I can always count on a pickle to hold me over for a bit. If you want to go all out and can your pickles, more power to you. But, this recipe takes out the fermentation and canning process, and gets you to the pickles quicker - still with all that great pickle taste.

If I could eat chicken wings every day, I most certainly would. They are crispy, full of flavor, extra saucy, and pair well with ranch dressing. They are nearly the perfect food - minus the insane amount of calories. These Honey-Chipotle Baked Cauliflower Bites can give you the satisfaction of chicken wings while saving on the calorie intake for the day! These are extra crispy, super spicy, and the sauce is baked into the wings, so it won’t run all over your face and arms.

When I was a child, I remember there used to be annual magic shows that came on in the summer, and I think aired on ABC Family. These were a big deal in our house. To get ready, I remember my mom making frozen pretzels from a box, softening a block of cream cheese, and warming up some canned jalapeno cheese dip for dipping. She’s where I get my love for sauces and dips from. So much nostalgia. I can see exactly where we sat in front of the TV, what blankets we sat under and the smells that came from the kitchen.
