cooking projects
This weekend I had a little spare time to do some cooking projects!
Back in October I bought this book, Jam It, Pickle It, Cure It: And Other Cooking Projects by Karen Solomon. It's filled with all kinds of fun things to make. I've been sad that I haven't had a chance to use it.
We had some green beans that was too thick to eat raw so I decided to pickle them.
I sure hope I did it right! The sterilizing of the jar and putting the jar of green beans in their hot water bath to process was a little intimidating.
The green beans won't be ready 'til this evening to eat. So I'll let you know how they came out.
I also made some cheese crackers from scratch!
The recipe called for ground almonds and powered mustard to give it some zip. I even put the little dot in the center so they'd look like Cheez-Its. (hee, hee)
I had to bake them a little longer to get the cheese flavor to pop. They are tasty and I would make them again. However, next time I'm going to roll them out thinner and use some sharper cheese.
Maybe I'll make something else from the book soon!

the crackers look super, love that you put the little dot in the center!
The dot makes the cracker authentic!
