Magical Multi-Seed & Nut Crackers Half Sour Pickles. Half sour pickles are a big delicatessen treat, but they’re easy to make at home–and cheaper than the store!
The best part of any deli visit for me is scarfing mass quantities of half sour pickles. I can’t get enough of these! But years ago, I discovered how stupidly easy they are to make, so from then on, I made my own and saved about $4 over buying them at the supermarket. My old recipe had alum in it–that is no longer necessary because we now have refrigeration.
The alum was just to keep the cukes from going spongy in a root cellar. The best part of these pickles is that if, and that’s a big if, they last, they never go bad. In any fresh pack (or processed) pickles, it’s important to use either kosher salt or canning salt because these salts contain none of the chemicals that are used in table salt to keep it from clumping.

November 20, 2015 Do you serve appetizers before the Thanksgiving dinner, or do you forgo the small bites to leave room before the big feast?
In my family, there’s no such thing as “saving room” for dinner. We just eat all the time. That’s why the appetizers are just as important as the main event.

I think we all can agree that tater tots are the best use of potatoes in the world!
They are crispy, salty and if you make homemade tater tots you can put a bunch of awesome flavors into them. My first experience with homemade tater tots was with these smoked gouda and green apple tater tots I made last year. They were some of the best tater tots I’ve ever eaten and much easier to make than I had expected. I’ve seen tater tots made many times on the Food Network and a lot of times they add extra things like eggs and breadcrumbs, but I’ve found that those additions aren’t really necessary.

There’s nothing quite like roasting almonds or walnuts for creating atmosphere; they instantly invoke the sense that the kitchen is being cooked in, and give the room a wonderful, slightly caramel smell.
Whenever I’m feeling hungry for a little bite of something savory, or when I know friends are coming for dinner, I like to make a batch of roasted nuts tossed with herbs and sea salt. Guests instantly gravitate toward that plate: Perfectly toasted nuts are irresistible. Likewise, there’s hardly a better way to end a meal than with a plate of nut-packed dark chocolate bark, candied citrus peel, and dates stuffed with almond paste. Kale Chips. CLASSIC AMERICAN SOFT PRETZELS 5-Minute Homemade Energy Bars. While there are lots of natural ways to boost your energy, like increasing your protein intake, getting enough sleep, and reducing stress, something that is less talked about is supporting the adrenal glands.
The adrenal glands, which are two endocrine glands located on top of your kidneys, are responsible for helping your body deal with stress. Put very simply, after a prolonged period of stress, they can become fatigued and less able to properly produce enough of the right hormones to keep your body's energy in balance. Managing your diet is often not enough to repair your adrenals, which is where adaptogenic herbs come in.

One such herb is maca root, native to the Andean mountains in Peru, that has been shown to increase energy, not to mention boost libido. Homemade Energy Bar Recipe Makes 5 bars Ingredients.

While there are endless shelf-stable snack options, most contain questionable preservatives and lack healthy fats or protein to keep you satisfied.
