http://alaksya.blogspot.com/2013/08/bread-butter-pickle-recipe.html
My search for comfort food. Thursday, August 1, 2013. Bread and Butter Pickle Recipe. It is that time of the year when we are harvesting a lot of vegetables from the garden. We've been inundated with cucumbers and making pickles almost every week. Our favorite pickles to make are these Bread and Butter Pickles. My mom has been making them since I was little and we love to eat them on a sandwich with Swiss cheese and spicy brown mustard. 1 large white onion (optional). 5 cups cider vinegar.

My search for comfort food. Wednesday, September 29, 2010. I was in a Southern Food kind of mood today and made some white beans (I used Great Northern Beans). What goes better with rice and beans than corn bread? Nothing, that's what! Mom usually makes corn bread in a round cake pan, but I love the crispy edges the muffins get. Corn bread is easy to make from scratch, and it's cheap too. Stop buying that box mix and try this instead. It's better this way. 1 cup all-purpose flour. 2 dollops sour cream.
