Refrigerator Pickles
I made these amazing Refrigerator Pickles. I had never made pickles before. My family was very dubious, until they tasted them 6 hours later. They are completely hooked. They were scarfing them down at 11:30 at night in their PJs. It was so successful, that I went out and bought more vinegar to make more. I want to try to make green beans, carrots, asparagus and snap peas!

Crispy Oven Zucchini Fries
These Crispy Oven Zucchini Fries are a healthier version of zucchini fries. I have included a recipe for Apricot Dipping Sauce, which is a nod to the beloved Hamburger Hamlet restaurant chain in Los Angeles. They were famous for their Zucchini Zircles. You can also cut them into discs. I really hate deep-frying, so these are done in the oven, which is so much easier and less messy.
