Improved Dill Pickle Popcorn Seasoning. I’ve been checking out the stats on my blog traffic lately and what I’ve found is that aside from my regular readers, I’m getting a lot of hits through search engines. It seems the three biggest mixes are bouillon, burrito seasoning and dill pickle popcorn seasoning. I stand by my bouillon and burrito seasoning mixes 100%, but I’ve always been a bit disappointed in my dill pickle seasoning. It’s good enough to eat, but it doesn’t have that mouth puckering sourness that everyone looks for in a dill pickle seasoning. I think it would be more aptly named ‘herb and dill popcorn seasoning’. Anyway, heaven forbid should I disappoint strangers on the internet. That just won't do. Dill Pickle Popcorn Seasoning 2 tablespoons dill weed 1 tablespoon salt 1 tablespoon sugar 1 ½ teaspoons garlic powder 1 ½ teaspoons ascorbic acid powder Ascorbic acid powder can be purchased at most bulk food or health food stores in small bottles.

Meet The Shannons: Homemade Dill Pickle Potato Chips. I should be working on our book right this second. I should be going through the over 500 recipes right now making sure that I have the right gadgets for each recipe listed. That was the first thing on my list for today.

I have been trying to make "perfect" granola bars for weeks, and I finally succeeded! I plan to send these to Bean's preschool for snack when it's our turn. His school is nut-free this year, so I've been trying to think of a variety of snacks to send (I've sent peanut butter as a dip in the past). I started with a recipe from Kitchen Stewardship, and they were so tasty...but they crumbled like crazy. I couldn't conceive of sending them to school.

The following week, I tried adding more honey. So I got to thinking about what I could use as a binder, and thought of the fruity "Lära" bars that use dates...could it work in granola bars? I looked around on various websites, and most of them were suggesting you heat the honey and butter on the stove and add it to already-toasted granola. Last night I tried out the dates...and it worked! And they are easy! So here it is! 1c. mini-chocolate chips1/2 c. peanut butter - add this with the butter, honey, and dates. -Stir in your add-ins.
